Now we have open source for clinical trials, too

General News

Summary

I mentioned the other day that Ive been hearing about scads of new open-source projects, commercial and otherwise, but I had not yet heard of OpenClinica, which TMCnet profiles today. Since its debut in 2005, OpenClinica [developed by Akaza Research] has quickly become the most popular open source clinical trials software in the world. Todays announcement represents a growth of 700 percent since that time....Akaza Research takes the position that its professional open source approach is key to helping to facilitate widespread adoption. This isnt to denigrate its utility, as the pharmaceutical companies allegedly using it may find tremendous value in an open-source solution for clinical trials. For me, the real question is what benefits beyond free distribution Akaza is mining from its OpenClinica project.
