What is an End of Study TMF Transfer? 

 
As a clinical study closes, you (the sponsor) must decide to either contract with your CRO to store the data long-term, or maintain ownership and responsibility of your TMF in-house. Storing data with your CRO can be quite expensive; thus most sponsors choose to transfer their TMF info their own electronic trial master file system (eTMF).
 
This handoff is the End of Study TMF Transfer.

"One third of TMF Inspections are delayed due to incomplete or missing TMFs." 

- Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency

Why do I actually need an eTMF System?  

 
Your CRO may hold your eTMF. But once their contractual obligations are over, you, the sponsor, must manage the records for inspection and retention.

Many CROs transfer the eTMF using FTP or even a thumb drive, immediately putting you out of compliance. Guidance states clinical trial documentation requires a "fit-for-purpose system" where all changes can be documented and traced.

You've likely spent millions on your study - don't be vulnerable to inspection and audit risk.
