TransPerfect Integrates With Schulman IRB

Integration Allows Schulman to Streamline eTMF Filing and Compliance for Life Sciences Clients

 

NEW YORK, November 16, 2015 – TransPerfect, a leading provider of global development and commercialization solutions to the life sciences industry, today announced that Schulman IRB has integrated its IRB platform with the Trial Interactive electronic Trial Master File (eTMF) and study start-up solution to streamline global trial management for sponsors and CROs.

 

Trial Interactive is a web-based, 21 CFR Part 11 compliant platform that eliminates the redundancies inherent in paper-based study start-up and TMF management. By providing real-time access to clinical trial documentation as well as automated status notifications for protocols and investigative sites, the integration reduces the time and costs of manually managing IRB related documentation.

 

“Many of Schulman’s clients have moved to an eTMF environment and want an efficient way to have IRB related documentation directly into the eTMF with relevant metadata for auto-filing without human intervention. We chose to integrate with Trial Interactive as many of our mutual clients and potential clients are using the eTMF solution,” said Michael Woods, President and CEO of Schulman IRB. “With its automation and global document management capabilities, Trial Interactive helps our customers streamline processes while meeting regulatory requirements, allowing for remote inspections and even faster start-up timelines.”

 

Michael Smyth, General Manager of TransPerfect Life Sciences Solutions, stated, “We have daily interaction with our eTMF and study start-up clients who use or are planning to use Schulman IRB as their central IRB. Clients were spending an inordinate amount of time downloading IRB related documents, uploading them to our eTMF, and coding metadata. We’ve now automated that process to take place without user involvement and eliminated the need for users to look at multiple systems, which has always been a challenge for study teams. This integration will also extend to our electronic Investigative Site File (eISF) to streamline administrative work for sites.”
