Data and safety monitoring boards (DSMBs) and IRBs are two distinct but related committees concerned with the ethical and safe conduct of research. How can DSMBs, IRBs, investigators, and sponsors work together to ensure scientific integrity and subject safety? Expanding on foundational knowledge in the module Data and Safety Monitoring in Human Subjects Research, part of CITI Program's Biomedical Basic course, this advanced-level webinar will:
- Summarize relevant guidance documents from government and non-government organizations, including FDA, NIH, EMA, and WHO
- Help IRBs understand when a DSMB is needed and clarify each body's purview when it comes to subject safety
- Discuss reporting mechanisms for adverse and unanticipated events in data and safety monitoring plans, with specific consideration given to multicenter trials
- Present interactive case scenarios to highlight complex "gray areas" in data and safety monitoring
This webinar will not review basic regulatory knowledge. Attendees should complete CITI Program’s module or have equivalent foundational knowledge before registering for this webinar.
