TMF Management Plan Template Institute
The TMF Management Plan is the first artifact of the TMF Reference Model created by the DIA Working Group. You may ask…why is that? Because it is important! It sets the expectations for the Trial Master File for each clinical study. While its content will vary from company to company, in this workshop we will review the constructs of the TMF Plan Template created by a subgroup of the TMF Reference Model, and use real examples of how to create your plan for your company. 
This workshop will review the expectations of regulatory authorities as well as best practices from the presenters and all of you! 
Topics that will be addressed during this workshop are: 
  • View the TMF Management Plan through the eyes of health authorities.
  • Clarify how critical the TMF Management Plan is to overall TMF Management processes.
  • Walk-through of key sections of the TMF Plan Template created by the TMF RM subgroup.
  • Get and generate ideas from others on the TMF Plan.
  • How to create your own TMF Plan Template.

Inspection Planning Institute: The Do's and Dont's of Preparing for a GCP Inspection (On-Site and Remote)
“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” – Benjamin Franklin

The industry has observed regulatory authorities evolve their inspection expectations in step with the increasing complexity of clinical trials and available eClinical technology, among other variables. With the ongoing pandemic, further changes have emerged as remote inspections have become necessary. Are these remote inspections here to stay?
This session will look at how to prepare for both on-site and remote inspections so that teams can prepare for whatever the future may hold. Attendees will learn preparation best practices, including:
  • Inspection plans
  • Settings and location
  • Systems access
  • Document requests
  • Inspection agendas
  • Documents and eTMF best practices (What are the inspectors looking for)
