Data Safety Monitoring Boards (DSMBs) for Clinical Trials

Upcoming Courses

Course Description

This web seminar will describe what a Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) — also known as a Data Monitoring Committee (DMC)—is, and how it’s constituted according to FDA and European Medicines Agency (EMA) requirements. We’ll cover the selection of the members and their duties and responsibilities, as well as when a DSMB/DMC is and is not needed. We’ll also take a look at the contents of a DSMB/DMC charter. Interim analyses (with and without statistical analyses) will be discussed, as well as looking at benefits and costs. DSMB/DMC actions and recommendations in terms of study change or termination will be reviewed. Problems, ethical issues, and potential conflict will be discussed, along with strategies for resolving them. Learners will come away with tips, war stories, and practical advice on making DSMB/DMCs work.
