CEC, DSMB and Safety management

Our expertise

CERC establishes and coordinates Clinical Event Committees (CEC) and Data Safety Monitoring Boards (DSMB) to ensure independent, expert oversight of clinical trials.
Our mission is to provide scientific and regulatory confidence through transparent processes, rigorous data review, and impartial decision-making.
CERC also manages safety and vigilance activities, including AE/SAE reporting and regulatory compliance (MDR/ FDA/ PMDA/ Country specific), ensuring patient protection and data integrity throughout the study lifecycle.
