A significant number of contract research organizations (CROs) are increasingly using electronic trial master file (eTMF) applications, according to a new survey by Veeva. The global study of TMF owners found that 38% of CROs surveyed now use eTMF applications versus just 21% in 2014. A number of benefits are prompting CROs’ adoption of eTMF technology. More than half (58%) say faster study start-up is a key driver, while 50% cite cost savings.
