We send out a brief monthly newsletter via email to all our active eCF members to keep them abreast of the activities of eCF that they can participate in. The more who participate, the better we are "A Network Powered by Peers". Click to see the most current newsletter.

eClinical Solutions, and eCF member company will present an approach to AI that aims to bridge that gap – a guided user experience for automated mapping.

The eClinical Forum is happy to showcase their members, however does not promote nor endorse any particular technology solution.

Version 2024JP1 (25-Nov-2024)

Japanese translation of ISF Assessment Handbook and Assessment Questionnaire (ISFA日本語訳)

The eCF REG team puts out a yearly version of the "eCF Requirements" which many orgainizations use to check compliance of their systems against regulatory authority document statements. The previous versions have been requested in order to easily check the requirements that were in place in a particular year.

Recording available from our public webinar which provided information on our 3 free tools: The “eCF Requirements” (Requirements for electronic data for regulated clinical trials), eSRA (Site eSource-Readiness Assessment), and ISF (Investigator Site File System) Assessment. These tools are absolutely free to download as a service to the industry that we serve; we do not even collect email or other information.

The eClinical Forum is releasing its 7th public version of the “eCF Requirements” which takes all of the requirements and guidance directions that pertain to electronic data and electronic systems that support clinical research, from FDA, EMA, PMDA, MNPA, MHRA and ICH , and boils them down into 37 unique statements or "eCF Requirements".

The "eCF Requirements" Members Release V2024 has been released.  This is a significant accomplishment by the eClinical Forum’s “Regulatory Expert Group” (REG) as they have put in countless hours over many years to be able to produce such a comprehensive list of compliance requirements for  electronic systems that will manage data used in regulated clinical research, against regulations and guidances from 40 different documents from FDA, EMA, PMDA, NMPA, MHRA and ICH and ISO.

A brief overview of who should use the eCF's newest assessment tool ... and why. This article can be viewed or downloaded by clicking "read more".

eClinical Forum now has 2 FREE assessment forms for sites to self-assess their systems for use in regulated clinical trials. We are excited to release the first version of the “ISF System Assessment”.   This assessment form is very similar to our eSource-Readiness Assessment (eSRA) and is, like eSRA, based on regulatory documents from regulators around the globe.
