ACTA Webinar: Charting the content of data monitoring committee charters for clinical trials

Data monitoring committees (DMCs) play a critical role in ensuring the ethical conduct of clinical trials. Data monitoring committee charters set out the role and processes for data monitoring committees in monitoring clinical trials; however, little is known about the information that DMC charters contain. In this webinar, we will share results of an exploratory analysis of DMC charters, drawing out ethically and practically pertinent issues. These will be considered in light of findings from our broader project on ethical challenges faced by DMCs.
