Clinical Conductor CTMS, a Rochester, N.Y.-based provider of clinical trial management system, and OpenClinica, a Waltham, Mass.-based provider of global electronic data capture (EDC) software platforms, have partnered to deliver a seamless EDC-CTMS integration to drive productivity in clinical research.

Clinical Conductor CTMS will begin offering the OpenClinica Enterprise Edition EDC as part of its product offerings for clinical research management. This integrated solution offers a seamless trial and data management experience. The integrated systems exchange critical information pertaining to patient details, study protocols, CRFs and more. The results are faster study execution, more accurate trial management and streamlined clinical research operations.

“We have seen a significant shift in recent years in the complexity of clinical research and the amount of collaboration that needs to go on between researchers in order for a trial to be successful,” said Dan Kerpelman, CEO of Bio-Optronics, the maker of Clinical Conductor. “In order to meet the changing needs of the research marketplace, we sought out a partner who shared the same core values as us for helping researchers conduct the best possible research and improve operations.”

Cal Collins, OpenClinica CEO, said, “CTMS and EDC are two sides of the same coin. Having high-quality, real-time clinical data improves decision making and operational efficiency—you get higher quality clinical data faster when sites and sponsors are operationally on the same page. This joint solution will allow users to reduce redundancy, obtain direct access to high-quality data and make decisions faster.”

Additionally, current users of both the OpenClinica Community Edition and OpenClinica Enterprise Edition EDC will be able to benefit from the OpenClinica-Clinical Conductor CTMS integration.
