Data Monitoring Committees (DMC)

Overview

There are different types of DMCs including Data Safety Monitoring Boards (DMSBs), Data Safety Monitoring Committees (DSMCs) and Adjudication Committees. The March 2006 “Guidance for Clinical Trial Sponsors on the Establishment and Operation of Clinical Trial Data Monitoring Committees (DMCs)” signifies the FDA’s recognition of the DMC as an important tool for protecting patient safety and pro-actively managing potential risk. By providing a process-focused approach, Applied Clinical Intelligence (ACI) is one of the few companies that have a history of operating regulatory-compliant, business-focused DMCs. 

ACI strives to operate a well-run, seamless DMC which not only offers insights that confer other benefits, but also ensures complete documentation and that there are no cost overruns or regulatory penalties. ACI recognizes that patient safety is good business.  We offer both pre- and post-registration regulatory-grade, high-quality DMC products (proprietary CDISC based-processes and technology including the secure web-portal and Clinicalsafety.net™) with the following advantages:

  • Systematic business-based approach to meet sponsor requirements for on-time, on-budget performance
  • High scientific quality provided by independent experts with a focus on regulatory, not academic, safety issues
  • ClinicalSafety.net™, our secure, single platform for documentation of safety issues
  • Regulatory submission-grade programming and statistical services
