Data Safety Monitoring Board ...

All clinical trials require monitoring at multiple levels. The Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) is required for certain types of federally funded clinical trials and strongly recommended for others. The DSMBs operate similarly to the Institutional Review Board (IRB), but is not a substitute for the IRB. DSMBs periodically review unblinded data (interventions given to study subjects are known) including adverse events and other safety concerns once a study has been initiated, whereas IRBs review studies prior to and throughout the course of the study. IRBs do not typically unblinded data.

Market exclusivity

The Food and Drug Administration is authorized to limit competition for certain manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and biological agents (there is no authorization for market exclusivity for devices).
