Overview
OpenClinica has completed a growth recapitalization with Thompson Street Capital Partners to accelerate the enablement of clinical trials.
Significance
Continued decentralization, a stringent regulatory environment requiring increased compliance and patient outcome visibility, and a constantly growing number of disparate data sources (including RWD and RWE) in clinical trials have bolstered the need for easier and more secure data sharing between researchers and the practitioners administering these trials. As a result, demand for easy to use, unified electronic data capture (EDC) platforms to ensure data reliability and facilitate secure sharing continues to grow.
As an industry-leading clinical research solutions provider, OpenClinica empowers sponsors, CROs, and academics with its automated, fully featured EDC complete with an innovative toolset and dynamic, comprehensive eCRFs for clinical trials, enabling researchers to collect data faster, more accurately, and at a lower cost. These differentiators made OpenClinica an ideal target for a strategic growth investment from Thompson Street Capital Partners given their focus on life science, healthcare, and software companies.
