Version 2025 has been released!!! This version includes updates based on ICH E6(R3) Good Clinical Practice.    eSRA has been used globally since 2016!!

The eClinical Forum offers 2 absolutely free system assessment forms that consist of regulatory-based questions for evaluating the suitability of an investigator site system to provide data/records for clinical trials.Both forms are part of the eSRA Handbook which provides guidance to sites on how to complete the forms.  We request that Sponsors and CROs do not separate the forms from the handbook. Sites may separate the forms from the handbook after completion such that they are only sharing and storing the completed forms.

  • Form/S for e-Source Systems (e.g. Electronic Health Record Systems (EHRs))
  • Form/F for e-Investigator Site File Systems
  • A Japanese translation of eSRA V2025 is anticipated to be released by the end of June.

Stay Current!!

eSRA materials are updated annually and released at the end of Q1. To be notified of future releases and/or to provide feedback to the team, please send an email to eSRA@eClinicalForum.org.  Your email address will not be used for purposes other than to inform you of updates to eCF Site System Assessments.

Do we keep a list of sites that have completed eCF Site Assessments?

Due to privacy laws in different countries, eClinical Forum does not keep such a list. We encourage sponsors to keep a list for themselves of which sites they have received a completed assessment from. We encourage sites to store their completed assessments in a central location (such as their IT department) so that other groups within the same organization / using the same computerised system, can use the previously completed assessment as a starting point.

Audit Trail Review

Published on 29 January 2019

Audit Trail Review

With the increased focus on data integrity from regulators, the routine use of audit trail review as a tool is required.   This team will explore and provide guidance on what is the recommended scope for review, provide definitions, determine ‘what’ data (and in what part of the data lifecycle) should be reviewed with an audit trail vs other data integrity controls and finally recommend ‘how’ an audit trail review should be conducted (frequency, visualizations, exception reports etc). A white paper will be released to eCF members in 1Q 2020 with the anticipation of releasing it to the public by 1Q 2021.
