Coordinating and Data Management Center for the Consortium for the Study of Chronic Pancreatitis, Diabetes, and Pancreatic Cancer

The data management systems, auditing, and monitoring effort are supported by the MD Anderson
Cancer Center Clinical Research Support Center (CRSC). The The Coordination and Data
Management Center (CDMC) will provide high quality, efficient and consistent leadership and
services in all aspects of data quality and assurance; data harmonization and management;
while providing assistance to the projects in disseminating and interpreting those data. The
CDMC PI will provide statistical (study design, analysis plans, data analysis, and
interpretation), data management, and data monitoring/auditing (data quality assurance and
harmonization) expertise for the proposed projects. The Cancer Center will have access to
identifiable data from studies; analysis of this data will not be conducted under this
protocol. Any future analysis conducted on data or specimens as part of CPDPC protocols will
be conducted under a separate IRB approved data or lab protocol.

The CDMC will leverage existing support, infrastructure, and resources from the Data
Management and Coordinating Center for the Global Cancer Early Detection and the clinical
expertise of the Division of Pathology/Lab Medicine at MDACC.
