Anyone familiar with the role of a Data Monitoring Committee?

At the same time, we are very excited to report that the independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) for our ongoing Phase III trial recently completed their review of our second pre-planned interim analysis and has recommended that we continue the study. This is great news, as we believe the DMC’s recommendation is an expression of confidence in the potential for a positive outcome in the trial overall,"

It appears they get to look at the data as the trial progresses and report to company mgt as to whether the trial should continue without spoiling the trial?
