The eTMF Exchange Mechanism Standard (eTMF-EMS) provides a solution for exchanging TMF content with high quality and minimal effort across sponsors, CROs, sites, vendors and integrators. The TMF Reference Model Exchange Mechanism team has created a survey to understand industry perspectives on eTMF-EMS with the goal of increasing its adoption. The team will present a summary of findings at the TMF Reference Model general meeting in early 2021.
The team invites anyone who is involved in managing a clinical trial master file or is a stakeholder of TMF operations to take the survey at https://montrium.typeform.com/to/xsm692NG.
