OpenClinica to Power Major European Trials

OpenClinica, a Waltham, Mass.-based maker of open source clinical trials software for web-based electronic data capture (EDC) and clinical data management (CDM), has contracted with the SAFE-T Consortium in Europe.

The Consortium is a unique, public-private partnership of the European pharmaceutical industry, academics and small and medium enterprises working to qualify translational safety biomarkers for drug-induced kidney, liver and vascular injury to enable quicker and safer evaluations of potential new medications in patients.

Over the next three years, SAFE-T will conduct clinical trials in several sites in Europe and Israel. It is the Consortium’s largest undertaking to date and is designed to assist the pharmaceutical industry in its quest to develop new biomarkers for the early detection of drug-induced kidney, liver and vascular injuries.
