At FGK Clinical Research, we are dedicated to advancing medical research through innovative technology and high standards of clinical trial management. The eTMF is a specialized form of an electronic document management system designed specifically for clinical trials that takes over the traditional paper TMF.
An eTMF allows us to manage vast amounts of trial documentation with precision. By leveraging this advanced software, we ensure that all trial documentation is accurate, up-to-date, and easily accessible at any time. This is particularly important for maintaining comprehensive and compliant records that meet EMA and FDA standards.
With an eTMF, the sponsor and CRO can monitor and manage clinical trials even more efficiently, significantly reducing the time and effort required for document handling. The digital format allows authorized users remote access from any location. Workflow automation allows multiple users to review, annotate, and approve documents simultaneously. Integrated notifications and alerts facilitate timely completion of tasks. This can greatly improve real-time collaboration across geographically dispersed teams. An eTMF comes with built-in automated tracking and version control capabilities. This enables better tracking of document histories, easy access to previous versions, and a clear audit trail for each document change. The system's robust features streamline the processes of filing, and retrieval, leading to enhanced quality and consistency in clinical research documentation.
Using an eTMF facilitates audit readiness with real-time status reporting, digital audit trails, and easy retrieval of documents. An eTMF is typically organized using a digital structure aligned with regulatory and industry standards (e.g., TMF Reference Model). Regulatory authorities can access an eTMF remotely, and the digital audit trail offers transparent tracking of actions on each document.
Digital security measures such as encryption, role-based permissions, and access control ensure better protection of data. Regular backups reduce the risk of loss.
The eTMF system provides robust monitoring and reporting capabilities, enabling the clinical research team to track the progress of trials in real-time. This visibility helps us identify and address any issues promptly, ensuring that trials stay on track and within regulatory compliance.
Our eTMF solutions (electronic Trial Master File) are advanced cloud-based document management systems specifically designed for the clinical research industry. The eTMF serves as a centralized repository for all essential clinical trial documents, ensuring comprehensive management of trial-related data and facilitating compliance with regulatory standards. The eTMF streamlines the entire trial lifecycle, from planning and initiation through to execution and closeout, providing a robust framework for managing documentation, data integrity, and regulatory compliance.
