Data & Safety Monitoring Unit

The Data Safety Monitoring Sub-Committee (DSMU), a subcommittee of the Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC) I & II at Tata Memorial Centre is responsible for monitoring patient safety during the course of the study in a manner that ensures the scientific and ethical integrity of the study.

 

The Mandate of the Committee is to :

  • Monitor the overall progress of institutional clinical trials and for ensuring adherence to clinical trial and procedural requirements.
  • Ensure the safety of participants, validity of data, projected accrual goals are maintained.
  • Ensure that eligibility and evaluation criteria are followed, that risks are not excessive.
  • Assess and evaluate Serious Adverse Event reports (SAEs) on all trials being conducted at the TMH.
  • Adverse events are appropriately reported.
  • Enhance the quality of the research by providing the investigator with constructive criticism.
  • Provide regular reports to the Institutional Ethics Committee.

The DSMU meets on the first Tuesday of every month at 8.00 am in the Institutional Ethics Committee meeting room.

The three principle functions of the committee are:

  1. Review of Serious Adverse Event Reports
  2. Monitoring of institutional (investigator initiated) trials and for cause monitoring of other trials as requested by the IECs.
