The volunteer-based TMF Reference Model Group started as a grass roots initiative to cater to the urgent need of this community.
A taxonomy reference model created by the TMF Reference Model Group for a clinical trial master file can be used by any organisation.
The file comprises documents that are needed to ensure safety of the patient, data integrity, and the ability to reconstruct the trial. They are subject to regulatory agency oversight.
TMF Reference Model Steering Committee chair Karen Roy said: “The TMF Reference Model is the product of a ten-year collaboration by hundreds of volunteer contributors across pharma, biotech, med device, CROs, vendors and consultants.
