Tim Bradford, Bioinformatics and eSciences Manager
at the Oxford NIHR Biomedical Research Council, was another proponent of open
source, in particular OpenClinica which he noted is now implemented in production environments in 650 instances
of which 34 are in the USA and 29 in Europe – he mentioned that 200 regulatory
submissions are expected in 2012!
He also
mentioned that Oxford do run training in OpenClinica if you’re
interested in implementing but lacking the expertise... Tim’s team are aware of
the shortcomings of the software and have experience adapting it to meet
specific needs – to the extent that “Since adopting the technology 18 months
ago it is being used live [by Oxford] in 46 studies across 30 sites and has
recruited in excess of 6000 subjects”. He also mentioned that they are using MIRTHConnect (more open source)
For tissue
storage they are using Labvantage Sapphire and to mine clinical data from Cerner Millennium they are using Power Insight.
