Why celebrate TMFs?
The TMF is the evidence of what happened in the trial.
A TMF is the collection of essential documents for a clinical trial. These provide evidence the clinical trial was conducted in accordance with regulatory requirements, Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and lastly the approved study protocol. But it is also so much more…..
Inspection Readiness
Ensuring TMF records supports regulatory inspections as well as client and internal audits.
Patient Safety
Providing evidence that patient safety remained a priority throughout the trial.
Data Integrity
Maintaining confidence in clinical trial outcomes.
Operational Excellence
Supporting effective trial management, decision making and oversight.
