<reply> DSMB, the key words are safety and data. Efficacy comes into play for the DSMB when it touches on to safety, at the two extremes. "No chance" and the trial is stopped to prevent patients from dealing with a drug with no obvious chance for benefit. "Outstanding" and the trial is stopped so people can get off placebo and to allow the drug to progress to the next step. Data integrity is the other piece. In this situation, I am guessing it is data related. When the DSMB went to look, they found reasons in the quality of the data to want more patients. As usual, a simplified view and just an opinion.
