We can take care of every step of the process, or just one. Choose the offer that works best for you:
What is eTMF?
The acronym stands for ‘electronic trial master file‘. eTMF is a digital version of the the trial master file (TMF), where essential documents and data is collected and stored over the lifespan of a clinical trial – something which must be done for regulatory compliance reasons.
Historically a predominantly paper-based process, the digitization of the trial master file is infinitely beneficial to CROs, sponsors and regulatory boards alike.
Estimated to double in global popularity over the next three years, eTMF will become an integral part of the clinical trial process of tomorrow.
Instead of the vulnerable paper-based data collection methods of the past, efficient clinical trials of today embrace technology, using it to eliminate some of the challenges that old methods created. eTMF consists of using both software and hardware to facilitate the management of regulated clinical trial content.
There are two main benefits to managing your TMF electronically: efficiency and safety. By using a secure cloud-based platform, it will be easy for study team members to unify documents into one place. This makes it easier for sponsors to access study data at the click of a button, to avoid instances of human error, to make decisions quickly and to accelerate the trial process.
Having your trial data kept safe in a password-protected environment will ensure a higher level of patient safety. Excelya’s eTMF management goes hand in hand with scrutinous digital safety and protection. Data encryption diminishes many of the data safety vulnerabilities of the previous paper system, and eTMF system users can only gain access to data which is directly relevant to their work. Passwords to the eTMF are regularly changed and other safety precautions such as operational system checks can be implemented easily.
The auditing process is also much more efficient, with digital files being much easier for regulatory to access and assess. This reduces business risk dramatically.
Digital/cloud-based TMFs are also mostly free from the environmental risks and vulnerabilities that paper and physical documents are susceptible to, such as fire/elemental damage, theft and negligence.
