MazelMan, the DMC can do TWO things.

1) In their quality as Data Monitoring instance they can ONLY recommend (STOP for futility or efficacy or recommend CONTINUE).

2) In their quality as the party the follows the trial for the FDA they can ORDER a STOP if the trial for instance is harmful to the population, etc. These occasions are RARE compared to #1. This was under dispute here on the board until North40K pointed to the part of the FDA regulation supporting that.
