The Clinical Events Classification group at
the DCRI is a unique body of expert researchers involved in
all phases of our trials. Early involvement of the CEC group
creates more efficient research through clearly defined responsibilities
and speedy endpoint adjudication. The results for our sponsors
are faster interim and final analyses, and rock-solid adjudication
by physician-investigators with decades of experience.
The DCRI CEC group is one of the first of its kind in the
world, performing independent and unbiased event adjudication
as integral to the data collection and management process.
The CEC group’s experience is both broad and deep, covering
many therapeutic areas and studies of all sizes. This includes
vast regulatory experience both in the U.S. and abroad. It
offers services unmatched by any other academic research organization:
CEC experts work closely with both trial personnel and sponsors
at all stages in a clinical trial, providing guidance on everything
from case report form design to creating trial-specific databases
and event-identification processes that are tailored for an
individual project’s needs.
Our CEC personnel are also focused on clinical trial methodology,
constantly searching for better, more efficient ways to track
and evaluate endpoint events and provide impeccable data quickly.
CEC experience is being turned into innovation every day at
the DCRI.
