Subscribe NewsletterWhat is the role of Data and Safety Monitoring in Clinical Research Involving Human Subjects - When and How?

Overview: All Clinical Research protocols have a prominent safety monitoring plan as part of the overall research plan / protocol.
This "plan" is to ensure the safety of participating subjects and to ensure the validity and integrity of the data. Safety monitoring is mandated in 21 CFR 312.50, 312.56, and 600.80 for drugs and biologics and 21 CFR 812.40 and 812.46 for devices Depending on the nature of the test agent, the length of the study or the number of sites conducting the clinical study, the "Plan" may set the "Charter" of what is called a Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) or Committee (DMC). DSMB's and their composition play an increasingly important roll in both multi-center studies and where there are expected or possible adverse events. The "Stopping Rules" are an important element in the Charter. The overriding reason for a carefully selected DSMB is to promote and guarantee human subject safety.
