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.

V2025 vs V2024 and Regulatory Basis

Comparison of V2025 to V2024 for both Form/S (eSource) and Form/F (eFile) and mapping to regulatory authority document statements

eCF eSRA Release 2025 is based on regulatory documents from FDA (USA), EMA (European Union), PMDA (Japan), CMPS (China), MHRA (UK) and ICH (International). The eClinical Forum will continue to monitor new releases and updates of regulatory documents from these agencies to determine if the eSRA forms questions should be updated.

This document provides an easy look at the differences between the 2 eSRA Forms (Form/S for eSource and Form/F for eFile systems) as well as a comparison to the previous versions of each as well as a mapping to the underlying regulatory statements that support each eSRA question.
