On April 22nd, I flew to Boston for the OpenClinica Global conference with Hendra, our lead OpenClinica developer. This was my third consecutive attendance to the OpenClinica conference. Despite the fact that Boston is over 3,000 miles away, and the weather often cold and rainy, the conference offers good value as we get to meet the active and vibrant open source EDC community, learn about their recent innovations and listen about OpenClinica roadmap.
This year, we presented our generic SAS module to easily export SAS datasets in a CRF format in a single macro call. The 40 attendees were very receptive our SAS export module as it works with OpenClinica community edition that is freely available. In addition, OpenClinica gave us a demo booth for CDISC Express, our Open Source technology to easily convert OpenClinica data to CDISC SDTM. We were glad for the visibility and the OpenClinica team is always receptive on suggestions to make the conference as effective as possible for all attendees.
Here are my main takeaways from this year conference: Read more »

Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium

There is a general consensus that the old paper-based data management tools and processes were inefficient and should be optimized. Electronic Data Capture has transformed the process of clinical trials data collection from a paper-based Case Report Form (CRF) process (paper-based) to an electronic-based CRF process (edc process).

In an attempt to optimize the process of collecting and cleaning clinical data, the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC), has developed standards that span the research spectrum from preclinical through postmarketing studies, including regulatory submission. These standards primarily focus on definitions of electronic data, the mechanisms for transmitting them, and, to a limited degree, related documents, such as the protocol. Read more »

Silicon Valley BioTalks

We are organizing a networking event on open source technologies for clinical trials : Silicon Valley BioTalks ‘Run efficient clinical trials with open source techonlogies’

We noticed that the interest for open source technologies and practices has been growing in the clinical trial and biotech sectors.

The most frequent questions seem to be : What are the key benefits of open sources technologies for sponsors? What are the different open source products available today for clinical trials? What are the best practices for a successful implementation?

Representatives of Abbott Vascular, Intuitive Surgical and Clinovo will share their experience with open source technologies.

The event is taking place on June 29th in Palo Alto

You will find all details and the online registration form here
