OpenClinica and S-cubed Biometrics have worked together since 2014, when the two companies signed their first agreement — long before a formal partnership was in place. Today, that decade-long relationship takes the next step: S-cubed Biometrics has joined OpenClinica’s CRO Partner Program, formalizing a collaboration that has already shaped how dozens of early-stage biotech and pharma sponsors bring their trials to life.
Who S-cubed Biometrics Is
S-cubed Biometrics is a UK-based biometrics CRO and consultancy built for sponsors who need more than a vendor — they need a partner who gets the details right. Led by Managing Director Mark Baillet and Biometrics Director Richard Spruyt, the S-cubed Biometrics team specializes in the data-intensive side of clinical development: biostatistics, clinical data management and CDISC programming for both clinical trials and regulatory submission support.
That expertise runs deep. S-cubed Biometrics has converted more than 100 studies to CDISC standards (SDTM, ADaM, and Define.xml), and their work spans everything from study design and sample size calculations to database lock and FDA/eCTD submission packages. Most of their clients are early-stage biotech and pharma companies running phase 1 and phase 2 trials — organizations that need rigorous, audit-ready data management without an enterprise price tag.
It’s a boutique approach by design. S-cubed Biometrics has built its reputation over 15 years on quality and regulatory excellence rather than volume, and on relationships that last. It’s a philosophy that shows up clearly in how much of their business comes from repeat clients and referrals.
Why the Partnership Makes Sense
OpenClinica has been S-cubed Biometrics’ EDC platform of choice since the beginning, and the reasons haven’t changed much in a decade: cost-effective for sponsors who are watching their budgets, flexible enough to handle the complex phase 1 and phase 2 designs they specialize in, and dependable when it matters most. For a CRO whose clients audit their systems regularly, that last point is non-negotiable.
Over ten years, that reliability has become infrastructure. S-cubed Biometrics’ standard operating procedures reference OpenClinica , and their team has built processes — from data extraction to SAS programming — around the platform. It’s the kind of deep integration that only comes from a partnership that’s proven itself, build after build.
Put simply: OpenClinica provides the technology for capturing clean, high-quality clinical data. S-cubed Biometrics takes it from there — managing it, analyzing it, converting it to CDISC standards, and carrying it through to regulatory submission. Together, that’s a complete story for sponsors: from first patient in to a confident, compliant submission.
