The duties of a DSMB, from pre-trial planning through to stopping a study are described in detail, with emphasis on the reporting of information to the DSMB and the reporting of conclusions by the DSMB. The issue of blindness is given prominence and the role of the statistician on the DSMB is explored in detail.
