(Research Triangle Park, NC) February 15th, 2008 StatWorks’, Inc., a contract research organization (CRO) specializing in statistical and data management services, announces it has selected OpenClinica Enterprise to facilitate Electronic Data Capture (EDC) for industry-sponsored clinical trials. StatWorks is one of the latest in a growing roster of CROs to rely on OpenClinica to power their clinical studies.

Contract Research Organizations appreciate OpenClinica’s flexible ability to support diverse clinical studies. The OpenClinica software makes it easy to quickly deploy studies, re-use study components like case report forms (CRFs), and operate multiple studies from a single system. The software can be set-up once and used in numerous studies without having to worry about large incremental costs.
OpenClinica Enterprise allows CROs and other clinical research organizations to obtain a spectrum of services (such as training, study set-up, and validation support) to enhance their use of the OpenClinica software. With OpenClinica Enterprise, an organization can maintain its independence from a software vendor while obtaining full support for a modern, robust clinical research technology platform.
