Everything Rests on Having the Right Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) in Place
Data Monitoring Committees (DMCs) – independent groups of experts, typically clinicians and statisticians, who monitor patient safety and treatment efficacy data during clinical trials – are crucial for obtaining sound recommendations as to whether a trial should be continued, modified, or stopped. The need for independent insight and the role of an outside expert committee are crucial. WCG’s expertise (especially in niche focus areas) is second only to our quality of service.
