SiRA is piloting a new process for reviewing and commenting on draft regulatory guidelines: Expert Review Committee (ERC) of ISCB members (including SiRA, as appropriate),

who use Google-Docs as an aid to reaching consensus. ISCB members’ comments are elicited for consolidation by the ERC.

FDA Draft Guidance “Adaptive Designs for Medical Device Clinical Studies” was circulated by SiRA for review/comment to be conducted via the above-mentioned process.

SiRA circulated an ICH-E9 survey to ISCB members, which relates to an addendum on issues surrounding “estimands, missing data and sensitivity analyses in the design and analysis of clinical trials”.

SiRA investigated the feasibility of the academic community being involved through ISCB during drafting of the “Addendum for ICH E6: Guideline for Good Clinical Practice”. The idea was abandoned. The ICH Expert Working Groups are restricted to delegates from regulatory

authorities and industry. SiRA will wait for the release of the draft ICH-E6 Addendum for comment.
