Octalsoft eTMF System I Electronic Trial Master File I eTMF Software for Life Sciences

Since historic times, companies conducting clinical trials have performed the herculean task of managing and compiling paper-based documents, which inherently is error-prone, time and labor exhaustive, and costly. With technology transforming the way we work; organizations are now moving towards managing their TMF electronically to take advantage of the many benefits that follow.

Octalsoft eTMF software solution provides a digital platform and strategy to electronically capture, organize, share and store all those essential documents, images, and artifacts that arise during the lifecycle of a regulated clinical trial. The system comes pre-loaded with DIA TMF Reference Model, which allows users to organize their content in a recognized taxonomy and structure. Built-in checklists and milestone tracking features allow you to actively assess completeness and compliance of every content in real-time.

Product Overview

Configurable TMF

Trial master files are not one size fits all, since no two studies are the same and the expected documents differ drastically from one study to another. Flexible wizard-driven process for setting up eTMF – table of contents (TOI), document templates, metadata, and other parameters, allows the user to accurately customize the TMF filing plan with study-specific documents. The plan once configurated can be further saved as a reusable template.

TMF Reference Model

The TMF reference model provides standardized taxonomy and outlines a reference definition of TMF content using industry defined nomenclature. Adherence to the TMF reference model brings order, structure, and lineage to your eTMF – helping you segment and organize any large volume of data in the most efficient way. Applying a standardized reference model makes it easier to collaborate with internal and external stakeholders and transfer eTMF content from one system to another.

Optimized Search and Retrieval

With Octalsoft eTMF solution, it’s very easy to strike a few keywords and find the documents you need. Our system leverages the metadata related to your document to help locate the relevant document in a search, even find the content within the artifact. Metadata is the information attached to an item and captures details like the document author, time of creation, upload time, and so on. Our experienced team helps you to associate custom metadata fields to fit with your process and study parameters; thus, making searching the smoothest experience ever.

Customizable User Roles

Octalsoft eTMF allows you to define user roles and customize them to your specific process. Each user will have just enough access to the data/document that is required by him to perform his delegated function. Setting up a solution with granular permissions will allow you to set access levels for various functions – such as edit, read-only, upload, or electronically sign a document. This is specifically important when you have users accessing the TMF both internally and externally or while handling blinded information.

Highly Secured

We understand the confidential nature of the vast information that is compiled during the trial cycle. Octalsoft eTMF provides multi-layered security across databases and applications to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of the data. It implements data encryption, authorized access controls, usage analysis, log history, and conditional auditing to meet the compliance requirements. The system makes sure that data and documentation are handled with care, and security is maintained.

Automated Notifications

Octalsoft eTMF software provides timely and relevant alerts and notifications to users to action or complete tasks within the system. Having a contextual, rule-based notification system, based on user roles, significantly reduces the time which is otherwise required for cross-functional communication. It also alleviates the occurrence of errors when there are staff attrition and handover.

Product Benefits

Achieve Standardization

Standardize trial master file content and processes across all study phases and across multiple studies.

Maintain Single Source

One unified database to store, organize and distribute your TMF documents means everybody is working on the same information. It further accelerates your document completion and enhances document quality.

Process Automation

Integrated workflow, email notifications, and alerts help you automate and streamline processes.

Improve Compliance

Real-time insight into the status of the filed documents helps you identify missing and overdue documents and take steps for appropriate action.

Interactive Reporting

Interactive reporting allows users to modify their data layouts without any IT assistance. Each end-user can rearrange a report’s data and save multiple layouts for future reference.

Audit Readiness

With the help of dynamic reporting tools and business intelligence, you can proactively track the completeness of your TMF in real-time. An up-to-date and accurate eTMF keeps you audit and inspection ready at all time.
