Trial Master File Health Assessment

Free Tools to Assess eTMF Health

Practical, No-Cost Resources for TMF Oversight and Inspection Readiness

Your Trial Master File (TMF) is more than a clinical record / document repository—it’s the official story of your study. And under the finalized ICH E6(R3) guideline, it must be managed with risk-proportionate oversight that extends beyond completeness to include quality, timeliness, and process control.

So how do you know if your eTMF is healthy?

At Just in Time GCP, we’ve developed a free, sponsor-friendly toolkit to help you evaluate and improve your eTMF oversight—no sales pressure, no software demo, just expert-built tools designed for the real world of clinical operations.

Start with the TMF Grading Tool

Curious how your TMF measures up?

This quick 5-question check-in helps you get a clear, no-pressure snapshot of your eTMF’s health—based on the criteria sponsors are most often evaluated against during inspection.

You’ll receive a simple grade with insights across completeness, quality, timeliness, and oversight—plus an optional follow-up summary and strategy session if you want to go deeper.

We ask for your name and email so we can send your personalized TMF Wellness Summary and follow up only if you find value in the results. Your information is never shared—and there’s no sales pitch attached.

TMF Red Flag Checklist

Identify common TMF oversight issues before they derail inspections

Use this practical checklist to uncover risk signals that often go unaddressed, including:

  • Inconsistent or missing metadata

  • Rejected uploads or delays in classification

  • Lack of audit trail for partner deliverables

  • No escalation pathway for repeated QC failures

Whether you’re overseeing your TMF internally or relying on a CRO, this checklist keeps critical quality factors front and center.

Receive Your TMF Wellness Summary

After completing the TMF Grading Tool, get a personalized report that breaks down your results and outlines next steps for achieving an inspection-prepared TMF.

Use it as an internal reference or to kick off improvement discussions across your TMF oversight team.

Schedule a Strategy Session with TMF Experts

Book a complimentary session with a clinical compliance expert to:

  • Review your TMF Grading Tool results

  • Discuss alignment with ICH E6(R3) expectations

  • Explore practical improvements across documentation, systems, and oversight

  • Understand how risk-proportionate TMF QC strategies can reduce audit risk

Why Your TMF Needs a Health Check

Under the updated ICH E6(R3) guidance, Trial Master File quality is no longer just about being “complete.” Sponsors must now show evidence of:

  • Risk-informed sampling and QC thresholds

  • Real-time oversight and escalation pathways

  • Accurate classification and metadata assignment

  • Audit-ready documentation throughout the trial

Waiting can be more costly, so get a pulse check on your TMF now — and take the first step toward inspection readiness and clinical trial documentation excellence.
