The Trial Master File (TMF) holds the documentation a sponsor needs to show it met its obligations in running a clinical trial. This 90-minute TMF and eTMF training explains what goes in it, how to manage it, and the benefits and challenges of moving to an electronic TMF or keeping a hybrid of paper and eTMF.
You'll review the requirements behind the TMF, including 21 CFR 312.50, European Directive 2005/28/EC and ICH GCP Section 8.1, which defines the documents that let regulators evaluate how a trial was run. The FDA has no specific TMF requirement, but following ICH GCP creates one. TMF records must be available for inspection during and after a trial and support product approval for drugs, biologics, devices and tobacco products.
The session also covers computer system validation for FDA-regulated systems.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Attend if you set up or maintain a TMF, or provide quality assurance for the data in it. It also helps anyone who runs clinical trials, audits or inspects trial data and records, or prepares regulatory submissions that include clinical data.
It suits IT, QA/QC, clinical data, regulatory, compliance, validation and risk professionals, trial sponsors, and vendors and consultants in pharmaceutical, biologics, medical device and tobacco product companies.
