Walking the Path Together: Indigenous Health Data at ICES.

Indigenous data governance principles assert that Indigenous communities have a right to data that identifies their people or communities, and a right to determine the use of that data in ways that support Indigenous health and self-determination. Indigenous-driven use of the databases held at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES) has resulted in ongoing partnerships between ICES and diverse Indigenous organizations and communities. To respond to this emerging and complex landscape, ICES has established a team whose goal is to support the infrastructure for responding to community-initiated research priorities.

Stability post-licensure: compatibility container content - a practical case study.

Numerous variations to a manufacturing process may take place during the life cycle of a vaccine. To support these variations, the regulator requires providing stability data according to the existing ICH guidelines; these have been designed for documenting the licence of a new vaccine. Comparative studies and adapted stability designs specific to the variation will give far more confidence to the manufacturer and the regulator than the classical model.
