WALTHAM, MA — Mar. 15, 2022 — OpenClinica, the leader in eclinical solutions and clinical trial support (electronic data capture (EDC), ePRO/eCOA, EHR eSource, randomization, and reporting), today announced its 2022 gold membership status with the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC).
Members of CDISC include pharmaceutical, biotechnology, academia, government, and technology and service providers in the clinical research industry. All members have an interest in helping CDISC bring clarity to data. In addition, members have access to the CDISC library, library archives, credits to enhance employee learning via online courses, and access to thought leadership programs where trends and insights can be discussed and put into action.
OpenClinica’s partnership with CDISC is another step in its ongoing efforts to grow the organization, its people, and, most importantly, the seamless clinical data management experience that OpenClinica’s customers know and love.
This announcement comes on the heels of OpenClinica’s recent collaboration with CDISC to better understand the barriers among the academic community. Together, CDISC and OpenClinica will implement CDISC standards in Real World Data (RWD) to get a picture of the tools and guidance needed to standardize and leverage RWD. The partnership will instantiate electronic Case Report Forms (eCRFs) from its eCRF Portal into OpenClinica’s Electronic Data Capture (EDC) content library so that academic researchers can leverage the eCRFs to easily adopt CDISC Standards while capturing data for their studies. Implementing CDISC standards allows data to be structured effectively, leaving academics more time to focus on discoveries that will have an invaluable impact on clinical research.
The eCRFs will be available to the academic community in Q1 2022.
“As a gold member, we can increase our reach and overall contributions across the clinical research landscape. Ultimately offering our clients and the industry best-of-breed solutions that produce better data, faster. It’s all part of our goal to enable driving the future of digital clinical trials,” said Andrea Flathers, Senior Director of Client Services at OpenClinica.
