"Many people do not know that there is a company which specializes in providing clinical endpoint adjudication and data safety monitoring committees" says Kimberly Warner, MS, RAC, senior director of client services and regulatory affairs. "In the current environment where public trust is essential, our clients want assurance that the clinical endpoint adjudication and the DSMB or DMC process will be handled with the highest level of scientific rigor and with the regulatory compliant documentation and notification. Additionally, they want clinical endpoint adjudication and the DSMB or DMC to be provided in a cost-efficient manner. iCommittees' automated platform, and clinical endpoint adjudication and the DSMB or DMC expertise does all of this. ".

The secret to iCommittees' success, Warner notes, is that, in addition to providing outstanding customer service to the study sponsor, endpoint adjudication or DMC/ DSMB committee members are treated as key customers. "For our sponsors, we remove the hassles of recruiting, qualifying and contracting expert clinical and statistical consultants. We also can provide full biostatistical support. For our endpoint adjudication or DMC/ DSMB committee members, we remove the administrative burdens so they can stay focused on the important scientific issues. Finally, both committee members and sponsors benefit as our specialized team of project managers make sure that all endpoint adjudication or DMC/ DSMB communication is appropriate and the committees are managed in a regulatory-compliant, but cost-efficient manner."
