Complying with eTMF retention regulations is challenging
Traditional storage practices do not guarantee long-term protection, access and readability
Clinical trial sponsors are required to retain the eTMF for at least 25 years.
An effective eTMF digital archiving & preservation solution is required to ensure;
- Data is not corrupted or lost
- Information can be easily found
- Files do not become obsolete
- Secure access can be granted to inspectors
- A full audit trail is recorded.
And importantly, any solution must meet rigorous quality standards (QMS/CSV/GxP).
