PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The vast majority of contract research organizations (CROs) surveyed lag clinical trial sponsors in how they exchange trial master file (TMF) documents, according to the Veeva 2014 Paperless TMF Survey: The State of CRO TMFs. Eight in 10 (80%) CRO respondents report using email and 65% still rely upon paper-based methods to share TMF documentation, whereas a smaller number of sponsors exchange TMF documents via email (64%) and paper (52%). This new research details CROs’ progress in moving toward paperless trials and reveals opportunities for managing and maintaining inspection-ready TMFs on behalf of sponsors. The data show those CROs leveraging eTMFs have higher quality and more complete trial master files, noteworthy in a market where CROs contributed to the development of all of the top 20 selling drugs in 2013.1
