OpenClinica is a clinical-trial electronic data capture (EDC) and clinical data management platform used to build studies, capture case report form (CRF) data, schedule study events, and manage participants across sites. It ships as a free, open-source Community Edition (LGPL) and as a fully supported, hosted Enterprise Edition. OpenClinica exposes a documented REST web services API - authenticated with OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens - for programmatically adding and updating participants (single and bulk), scheduling and updating study events, and importing and retrieving clinical data. Data is interchanged using the CDISC ODM (Operational Data Model) standard as XML or JSON, so studies remain portable and standards-based.
