e-TMF
Trial Master File
e-TMF (Trial Master File) is a solution implemented integrated within e-FORM or in a standalone version for managing clinical studies.
It ensures compliance with the TMF Reference Model, a widely used and consolidated reference model or any other tailored model.
Here are the characteristics:
- Compliance with the TMF Reference Model
- Differentiated access to Zones based on privileges
- Ability to customize the reference model to handle specific situations or adopt a completely new one
- Secure uploading of files/documents to a dedicated and protected area, inaccessible via HTTP/HTTPS
- Support for document versioning and associated metadata
- Ability to search for and download files/documents
- Security of access
- Tracking of significant actions (logs) and user modifications (audit)
- Full integration with the e-FORM 5.0 clinical study management system
- Metrics and reporting

The advantages of e-TMF include:
- A single repository, where all users share the same, up-to-date set of files/documents, eliminating paper and digital copies.
- A standardized system with controlled access, adopting the TMF Reference Model and ensuring documentation is shared only with authorized personnel, stored in a secure, centralized area inaccessible via HTTP.
- Real-time updates during the trial.
- Ensuring inspection readiness.
- Classification according to the TMF Reference Model.
- The ability to search for documentation by Zones/Sections/Artifacts and other metadata.
- Quality Review (QR) of the documentation.
- Tracking of all significant actions performed on the Trial Master File, recorded in the system's Event Log and Audit Trail.
- Electronic signatures to guarantee document integrity.
