The Code of Federal Regulations states in 21 CFR 312.50 that, \"Sponsors are responsible for... ensuring that the investigation(s) is conducted in accordance with the general investigational plan and protocols contained in the IND.\" The European Directive 2005\/28\/EC states that, \"the trial master file shall consist of essential documents.\" R2 Guideline, Section 8.1 defines these essential documents as those that individually and collectively permit evaluation of the conduct of a trial and the quality of the data produced. These documents serve to demonstrate the compliance of the investigator, sponsor, and monitor with the standards of GCP and with all applicable regulatory requirements. They are all also eligible for inspection by the regulatory authorities at any time during and after the study is completed and submitted for product approval. This is the same regulation for drugs, biologics and devices. It is, therefore, paramount that these documents are filed in a way to make them immediately accessible for use by the study team and for regulatory inspection. This module will provide some practical solutions to meet these challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eParticipants will review the content that is required of a Trial Master File for drugs and devices for a clinical trial, and will acquire a practical understanding of how these documents provide evidence for the regulated activities of the investigator and the sponsor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe activities of set-up, maintenance, and quality review will be discussed, as well as common deficiencies and challenges. The need for an effective Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) will also be examined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn today's regulatory environment, the files must be \"inspection ready\" at all times. Regulatory authorities may conduct a regulatory inspection at any time throughout the life of the study. Therefore, the timely filing and organization of these documents is of utmost importance. There needs to be a consistent system employed such that documents can be located and provided for study team use as well as regulatory inspection in a timely manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"header-block-grey\"\u003eLearning Objectives \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribe the required components of a Trial Master File\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecognize the importance of a well-organized Trial Master File\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImplement strategies for effective filing of required documents\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIdentify processes that support the effective management of the Trial Master File \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInvestigate common deficiencies in filing systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eParticipate in filing some key documents and discuss the rationale for the placement of such documents\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp class=\"header-block-grey\"\u003eWho Should Attend\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLead Clinical Research Associates\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClinical Research Associate Managers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProject and\/or Study Managers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProject and\/or Clinical Trial Assistants \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClinical Operations Administrators\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eQuality Assurance Personnel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSponsor and CRO personnel involved in set up, maintenance, and auditing of the Trial Master File for sponsors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp class=\"header-block-grey\"\u003eInstructor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"bold-italic\"\u003eThe course will be led by one of the following instructors: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDonna W.
