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

Does the eClinical Forum keep a list of sites that have completed eCF Site Assessments?

Due to privacy laws in different countries, we do not keep such a list, however sponsors can keep a list of eSRAs they have received.We encourage sites to store their completed assessments in a central location (such as their IT dept) so that other groups within the same organisation / using the same computer system, can use the previously completed assessment as a starting point.

Position Paper: Trial Master File Archiving and the Decommissioning of Computerised Systems Used in Clinical Trials, PR1

Position Paper: Trial Master File Archiving and the Decommissioning of Computerised Systems Used in Clinical Trials, PR1

The eClinical Forum is happy to announce the public release of a position paper titled “Decentralized TMF Archives and The Decommissioning Of Computerised Systems Used In Clinical Trials”.  This position paper was written by a joint task force from EUCROF and the eClinical Forum, with representatives from other industry associations including ECRIN, the ePRO consortium, Medicines for Europe and the RQA.

ABOUT THE POSITION PAPER: Following the completion of a clinical trial, the essential documents that make up the TMF (Trial Master File) are retained and archived by the sponsor, the investigator and, in some cases, sub-contractors to the sponsor and/or investigator. The position paper highlights 11 key positions: seven positions concerning the archiving of the TMF and four positions concerning the archiving of the electronic data. These positions address areas where regulatory expectations are not always seen as being aligned with industry practices.
