Call for Abstracts

Abstracts Due: Friday, 10 March 2023

 

We welcome abstracts for the 2023 CDISC Japan Interchange on any of the topics listed below.

 

Novelty in Clinical Trials and CDISC Standards 

  • How modernization of clinical trials is impacting CDISC standards: experience from decentralized trials, master protocols, etc.
  • World-wide events impact on CDISC standards: e.g. how interim Covid guidelines have impacted and how they have been integrated/confirmed by CDISC and/or regulatory agencies
  • Social evolution can impact clinical trials conduct and standards: share experience or initiative related to this (e.g. diversity inclusion)

 

Real World Data / Evidence 

  • The life cycle of drug development is being modernized through the use of real-world data / evidence. 
    • The combination of RCT data (safety, efficacy) and RWD (effectiveness) for submission is becoming the 'new' standard
  • We are interested to receive experiences from the industry on the following related topics: 
    • Progress and barriers to the use of real-world data / evidence for regulatory evaluation
    • Best Practices of using CDISC Standards for RWD and Barriers
    • Pragmatic Clinical Trials
    • Use of CDISC and other life sciences/healthcare standards (OMOP data model, HL7 FHIR, etc.)
      • FHIR to CDISC Joint Mapping Implementation Guide v1.0
    • CDISC collaborations with other standards and initiatives
    • Move to decentralized clinical trials - usage of digital biomarkers / digital endpoints (collected as part of the clinical trial)

 

 CDISC in Academic Research 

  • Healthcare Data Systems
  • eSource/Direct Data Capture (DDC)
  • Meta Analysis / Data Integration
  • Computer Science and Data Science perspectives on CDISC standards

 

Unlocking the Power of Historic R&D Data and Opportunities in Clinical Data Sharing 

  • Big data / pooling of historic R&D data and harmonising it using common data standards e.g CDISC-SDTM standards
  • Opportunities across the life sciences data sharing (FAIRified) ecosystem post anonymization of critical GDPR data
  • Improve R&D returns by unlocking the power of RCT data to enhance and accelerate data driven decision-making across the value chain. Potentially connecting with Omics, RWD and Imaging

 

Conformance Rules and Validation, Including CDISC Open Rules Engine (CORE) 

  • Implementation of FDA / PMDA Business / Validation rules vs. CDISC conformance rules
  • Experience of various validation tools for SEND / SDTM / ADaM / Define-XML
  • Rules coming as part of a TAUG
  • Conformance rules integration into the standard governance
  • Experience in use of Open Source tools
  • Experience in the use of CORE, Rules Authoring Tool and generation of Rules

 

Global Regulatory Submissions 

  • Submission to FDA / PMDA / NMPA learnings
  • Submitting around the globe, submission experience with other Health Authorities e.g. EMA Clinical Trials Raw Data Pilot
  • Supporting FDA BIMO deliverables
  • Achieving quality and efficiency in data submission e.g.  
    • Proper documentation
    • How to correctly provide metadata in Define-XML
    • Automation
    • Process flow
  • Impact of new FDA guidance e.g.
    • Standard Safety Tables and Figures Guide
    • Experience and adherence to FDA division guidance e.g., CBER Vaccine, CDER NASH, etc.
    • Inclusion and diversity requirements and challenges from a standards point of view, e. g. gender, how to correctly provide metadata in Define-XML
    • RWE impacts decision making by regulators – opportunities and challenges from data standards / harmonization / review

 

Standards Governance, MDR and CDISC 360 - User Experiences 

  • How to handle CDISC versions before submission / across standards / regulatory agency requirements
  • How do you handle non-adherence in terms of submission to one or multiple regulatory agencies, how do you ensure adherence?
  • Metadata-driven governance. Collected element usage. How do you determine what data you aren’t using in the final CSR, in order to simplify collection?
  • Graph databases / linked data implementations
  • Automation experiences
  • Implementation of USDM / Transcelerate DDF

 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Impact of CDISC Standards on Business Optimization 

  • Applying AI in Life Sciences supporting Drug Development
  • Applications of AI to extract value from Real World Data
  • Experiences using AI with large data handling from devices / sensors, images, other(s)
  • Regulatory and CDISC positioning on usage of AI 
  • Meaningful realized benefits

 

CDISC Foundational Standards 

  • CDASHIG 2.3/3.0
    • Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity (SOGI)
  • SDTM/IG 2.1/4.0

    • SDTM/IG 1.7/3.3 Upversioning Experience

  • ADAM
    • ADaM Metadata Submission Guidelines 1.0
    • ADaM popPK Implementation Guide 1.0
    • Analysis Results Standard v1.0
    • Advanced use cases
  • SEND/IG 2.1/3.2
  • Define-XML v2.1
  • TAUG
