Trial Master File (TMF): FDA Expectations from Sponsors and Sites

Date: April 9, 2025
Duration: 60 Minutes
Time: 12 PM EST

The Trial Master File (TMF) is an extremely important document because this is what the FDA auditors first review during the audit of a clinical site. The TMF is a collection of the essential documents to record that site has fulfilled its obligations to the sponsor regarding a clinical trial project. For an investigator to demonstrate compliance, one needs to maintain various kinds of documentations that the regulations describe. Sponsors are required to assure site compliance with the protocol tasks, training and provide any resources necessary to assist site’s ability to perform their tasks. The TMF not only acts as a warehouse for all the study-specific documents, but also acts a tool for quality control and quality assurance.

This webinar will review the essential elements of a TMF for clinical trials. The activities of set-up, maintenance, and monitoring will be discussed using case studies to highlight common deficiencies and potential solutions.

Why should you attend:

If you are involved in a clinical trial, either as a clinical site or a sponsor, this seminar will provide valuable suggestions about which documents are essential and which ones are not needed for an FDA audit. Common deficiencies identified by FDA auditors during review of TMFs will be discussed with potential solutions to the same.
