DMCs are changing rapidly, along with the current clinical trial changes seen in recent years, accelerated further since the onset of COVID-19.


TORONTO (PRWEB)

Implementing data monitoring committees (DMCs) for the rapidly changing clinical trials in the last decade and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and planning for them in future clinical trials presents unique challenges. PRA has developed strategies to address these challenges, and will present these latest developments in this upcoming webinar.

DMCs are changing rapidly, along with the current clinical trial changes seen in recent years, accelerated further since the onset of COVID-19. These changes can be seen from DMC data delivery to DMC data analysis, DMC planning and setup and ultimately DMC management.

In recent years, research on novel clinical trial and clinical development plan designs to address unmet medical needs in rare diseases, personalized medicine, virtual trials and incorporation of Real World Evidence has accelerated greatly, leading to a myriad of novel adaptive, Bayesian and innovative statistical designs.

Due to the changes in trial designs and regulatory demands, old standard processes to run a DMC are also changing. The new paradigms, including adaptive designs and virtual trials, have impacted the objectives and demands of DMC processing. These novel trial designs have a more complex data flow with unique challenges in analysis and delivery.

As a result of these developments, an urgent need has arisen to train clinical trial professionals to support DMCs using both standard paradigms AND paradigms appropriate for the rapidly changing designs that are arising.
