During the trial, the NIA (the major funding body for the project) appointed an independent Data Safety and Monitoring Board (DSMB) with the responsibility of monitoring quality control of the data, trial progress and safety aspects every six months during the ASPREE clinical trial.<\/p>\n

After the trial, the independent Observational Study Monitoring Board (OSMB) appointed by the NIA and NCI, monitored retention and data quality and any new ancillary studies during the ASPREE-XT study.<\/p>\n

Both boards reported to the NIA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During the trial, the Data Management Committee (DMC) was responsible for the project’s web-based data system: overseeing programming and changes to the database and day-to-day management of the database and systems of data collection. The DMC prepared reports and interrogated the database to respond to queries from study investigators and managers, in addition to resolving issues relating to data capture and the database functionality.\u00a0 It reviewed reports generated by the database and the data from the quality assurance program. The DMC reported to the IDMC.<\/p>\n
