Office of Quality Assurance and Monitoring
Yale Cancer Center has partnered with the Yale Center for Clinical Investigation to create a quality assurance and safety monitoring system to support investigators and improve the quality of clinical research at Yale. The Office of Quality Assurance and Monitoring is an administrative arm of Yale Cancer Center dedicated to the management and coordination of the Center’s Protocol Review and Monitoring (PRMS) and Data and Safety Monitoring (DSM) functions in order to support, facilitate, and assure the highest quality clinical research at Yale.
Two major components provide for clinical research review and oversight: the Protocol Review Committee (PRC) and the Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC). These committees are responsible for reviewing and monitoring all Cancer clinical protocol science, designs and analyses, use of Center resources, continued progress, and data and safety compliance.
The Office of Quality Assurance and Monitoring also provides an ongoing training and education program for clinical research staff to assist them in managing clinical trials and complying with regulatory requirements.
