Excellence in Execution

Clinical trials require the use of human subjects and can severely impact the safety and well-being of the participating subjects. Success or failure of clinical trials can also severely impact large amounts of capital. For those performing the trial, the proper management of clinical trials is crucial.

Meeting

Ethicare’s Clinical Trial Management team can organize meetings for your trial, such as:

    We will reconcile all needed presentations and material for each meeting. Most of the presentations will be conducted by our experienced team members with utmost professionalism.


Trial Master File

Regulations require a trial master file (TMF) to be created and maintained for a clinical trial. Ethicare compiles and files all trial essential documents and information in a coherent format to enable your own ease of access and ready availability for audits and regulatory inspections. TMFs can be created and maintained as paper only.


Ethicare’s Clinical Trial Management team tracks and reviews each document and can provide clinical monitors and other parties with comprehensive reports on outstanding documents, inconsistencies between the documents and any other helpful information.


At project closure, the TMF will be transferred to your preferred final archiving location accompanied by a complete and comprehensive table of contents and inventory of all documents and binders to facilitate future access.
