OpenClinica 4 Stack 15 (Release Date – 20 December 2021)

OpenClinica 4 Stack 15 contains new features and updates to OpenClinica. View the entire Stack 15 changelog here (login required). For an overview of this update, view the Stack 15 Release Announcement here. A quick overview of the Participant Details Page changes can be found in this video and this overview document.

Highlights include:

New:

Study Build System

  • Item-Level SDV: The new Item-Level option for the Source Data Verification (SDV) feature allows Data Managers to specify which items on a form should be verified against source data. Data Managers will define each item as Required, Optional, or Not Applicable for SDV. All new forms added to a study definition after this release will either be configured as using Item-Level SDV or Not Applicable for SDV. All existing forms published to Production prior to this release will continue to utilize legacy Form-Level SDV functionality. Forms created prior to this release but not yet published to production, will be able to be configured to use Item-Level or legacy Form-Level SDV functionality.
  • Data Dictionary: The Data Dictionary feature is accessible via a link on each form card in Study Designer. The Data Dictionary gives the user form-specific information including form metadata, form properties, and item metadata such as Item OID, Item Group Name, Item Group OID, Item Type, and Insight Table. Data Managers are no longer required to publish a study to see this information in Study Runner. This allows Data Managers a more detailed look at how a form is represented in OpenClinica and provides easy access to information needed for tasks such as writing cross-form logic expressions or Insight Questions. The data dictionary can be downloaded as a CSV file to view outside of Study Designer.

Study Runner

  • Item-Level SDV: For forms configured to use Item-level SDV, a Monitor user can now check off each reviewed item and verify them individually in addition to choosing to verify an entire form with one click. When all SDV Required items on a form have been verified individually, the form status automatically becomes verified. Conversely, if a user verifies a form, the verification cascades down to each SDV Required item on the form. When a value is changed after an item has been verified, the item becomes unverified automatically while other verified items on the form retain their status. If the form has verified status when a verified item on it has a value change, the form moves to Changed Since Verified status.
  • Participant Details Page: The redesigned Participant Details Page (PDP) provides a more modern, streamlined view allowing more actions within the page, shorter loading times, and less time spent looking for the next visit or form that needs to be worked on. The old visits table and nested forms table have been replaced by a continuously scrolling section of visit rows with cards for associated forms within each row. After a form has been opened by clicking the form card and then closed, the PDP will show the user the same view as when the form was opened. The information that was previously contained in the table columns (such as statuses and versions) is now displayed on the form cards or available in the vertical ellipsis menu in the bottom right corner of the form cards (actions). Event details and actions are also presented in this manner in the left-most column of the Visits section. Visits are sorted by start date and the page initially loads directly to the earliest, non-completed visit (highlighted in blue). The visits section now respects the record status filter (top right corner) to align with the existing functionality of the common event sections.

OpenClinica 4 Stack 13.3.1 (Release Date – 04 June 2021)

OpenClinica 4 Stack 13.3.1 contains targeted fixes to OpenClinica. View the entire Stack 13.3.1 changelog here (login required).

Highlights include:

Changes & Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue that prevented newly uploaded forms containing cross-form logic using item references from working as expected. (OC-14928)

 

OpenClinica 4 Stack 13.3 (Release Date – 27 May 2021)

OpenClinica 4 Stack 13.3 contains targeted fixes to OpenClinica. View the entire Stack 13.3 changelog here (login required). For an overview of this update, view the Stack 13.3 Release Announcement here.

Highlights include:

New:

Study Build System

  • Study environments can now be archived via a new status (Archived). A study environment (production or test) can be set to a status of archived on the Share page using the same menu currently used to set other study statuses (e.g. Available, Frozen, Locked, etc.). An archived study environment is inaccessible in Study Runner, can’t be published to, and Notification Rules, Jobs, and Insight refresh will cease to function for it. Studies with both environments archived will be considered retired and will no longer appear on the default view of the My Studies page. Study environments can be unarchived and this will cause them to resume their normal functionality.

Study Runner

  • Data Specialists and Investigators can now select multiple participants on the Participant Matrix via checkbox, or ‘Select All’, and sign them in bulk. The logic for determining whether a participant record can be signed is not changed as part of this release.
  • The Quick Access panel on the left side bar now includes a list of the user’s most recently accessed participants and forms in their current study or site. Participant links are shown as Participant ID and will open the Participant Details Page for that participant. Form links are shown as event name (and event ordinal) along with form name and will open that form record again in the same manner as it was opened the last time. The order of the links will update dynamically as participants and forms are accessed. This will only track recently accessed forms and participants within the user’s current login session.

Changes & Fixes:

Study Build System

  • Users will now be prompted to confirm their action when publishing a new study to the Production environment for the first time. (OC-14862)
  • Fixed an issue where searching for a site could show no results when including a space in the search terms. (OC-14954)
  • Updated Study ID and Site ID input to prevent use of certain characters that could cause issues in Study Runner:  < > & ” ‘. (OC-13730)
  • Updated the Share Page to allow searching within the People table. (OC-11875)

  • Fixed an issue where Site updated date was only updated when the Site status was changed. (OC-12945)

Study Runner

  • The standard OpenClinica signature attestation has been updated. Event signatures now explicitly list the forms within the event that the signature covers, excluding forms not accessible to the signing user and forms not started. (OC-15054, OC-15091)
  • Fixed an issue where one user could trigger a concurrency lock on a form that prevents them from reopening the form. (OC-14791)

OpenClinica 4 Stack 13 (Release Date – 13 February 2021)

OpenClinica 4 Stack 13 contains targeted fixes, enhancements, and new features to OpenClinica. View the entire Stack 13 changelog here (login required).  For an overview of this update, view the Stack 13 Release Announcement here.

Highlights include:

New:

Study Build System

  • Added Study Viewer and Site Viewer user roles to all studies. These roles have permission to view events and forms, but not change data or manage queries. They also do not have permission to use data extracts. Custom roles can be created based on these roles as needed and permission tags can be assigned to them to manage form-specific access.
  • Added support for additional form logic options. All options support cross-form logic.

Defaults can now be defined to set item values at form creation (or when adding a new repeating group instance for items in repeating groups). They can be static values or calculated values (i.e., Dynamic Defaults). Items with defaults can be user-editable or read-only. Defaults can be used in conjunction with standard calculations or triggered calculations for an item (if needed).

Triggered calculations can now be defined to set items to a calculated value when a trigger item’s value changes. They do not have any effect except when the trigger item’s value changes. Items with triggered calculations can be user-editable or read-only. They can be used in conjunction with defaults (if needed).

With these new features, there are now three options for system-generated form item values. Standard calculations always keep the calculated value in sync with the other items on the form and they are re-evaluated every time the form is opened. Items using these must be read-only. Triggered calculations only update the calculated value when the trigger item’s value changes (regardless of any changes to items used in the calculation). Defaults update item values only when the form is first created and when a new repeating group instance is added.

Study Runner

  • XML imports now allow the import of Queries, Annotations, historical signature attestations, and the setting of SDV statuses. Using an XML import, you can now add Queries to items or update and close existing Queries in bulk, as well as add Annotations, set form SDV statuses to verified or not verified, and set the Signed status of Study Events to Signed while adding a signature attestation to the audit log. These can be done as part of an import of clinical data or imported independently without associated item data.
  • Tabular imports have been expanded with new features available in the mapping file. The SkipMatch feature of tabular imports has been expanded to allow choosing whether to skip the import of a row based on matching against a set of criteria or to update existing records when matches are found. Previously only new records could be added as part of a tabular import. To support matching and updating specific occurrences of repeating events, the start date and repeat key of repeating events can be included as optional columns in the tabular file. Using the start date, new instances of visit events can also now be scheduled as part of the tabular import. The post-import status of forms can now be configured. The Reason for Change to use if the import changes data on complete forms can also be configured. Finally, these imports can now be configured to ignore columns in the import file that are not explicitly mapped to items so that data files do not need to be modified to remove unmapped columns.
  • Added support for users to navigate directly from one repeating common event form to the next occurrence of that form. This allows data entry users who are adding new forms to choose to open the next form automatically without having to return to Study Runner and click the link for the form they want to open. This feature is only available during initial data entry for these forms, not for subsequent editing or viewing of the forms. It can be enabled per form using the Allow Add Another checkbox on the form card in Study Designer for each repeating common event form.
