The Trial Master File (TMF), the essence of every clinical trial, supports the quality, integrity, and validity of the collected data. With TMF contributors positioned around the globe, there is an obvious need for Clinical Trial Sponsors to look at their eTMF management processes to ensure timely TMF completeness, required quality of documents and inspection readiness of the file.
Multiple service providers typically contribute TMF and it is challenging to ensure high quality and inspection readiness of the TMF across all studies. Also usage of several eTMF management systems may increase the Sponsor’s burden to oversee the status.
