Platform Overview

The TMF Burden is Real.
The Solution is AI.

The Trial Master File is the bedrock of every clinical trial — and one of the most operationally demanding components of regulatory compliance. Manual TMF management is slow, error-prone, and increasingly unsustainable as trial complexity grows. Documents are misfiled, completeness monitoring lags behind the trial, and inspection readiness is assessed only when it's almost too late.

The Aurelyn AI eTMF Intelligence Engine changes the equation. It automates the most time-consuming elements of TMF management — document classification, filing against the DIA Reference Model, completeness monitoring, and quality assessment — freeing TMF teams to focus on governance and strategic compliance oversight rather than administrative burden.

Built on ICH E6(R3) and the DIA TMF Reference Model, with full 21 CFR Part 11 audit trail capability, the eTMF Intelligence Engine is designed for the inspection-facing reality of clinical document management.

🔗 Integrated with Aurelyn AI Clinical

The eTMF Intelligence Engine receives trial status and milestone data from the Clinical Trial OS — enabling automated document expectations based on where your study is in its lifecycle. Document completion insights also feed the Clinical Evidence Engine's submission quality layer.

Core Capabilities

From Ingestion to Inspection Readiness

Eight AI-powered capabilities that cover the full TMF management lifecycle — from the moment a document is created to the day an inspector arrives.

🗂️
Automated Document Classification
AI identifies document type, study affiliation, site, and zone from document content — eliminating manual filing decisions and the categorization errors that create TMF gaps.
📁
DIA Reference Model Auto-Filing
Documents are automatically filed into the appropriate DIA TMF Reference Model zone, section, and artifact position. Zone 1–5 coverage with country-specific regulatory artifact requirements.
TMF Completeness Monitor
Real-time monitoring of TMF completeness against expected documents for each study milestone and site activation. Missing document alerts with configurable thresholds and escalation workflows.
Document Quality Assessment
AI evaluates document quality across legibility, version correctness, signature completeness, date consistency, and content adequacy — flagging documents that require remediation before they create compliance risk.
🔍
Inspection Readiness Dashboard
A real-time inspection readiness score with granular breakdown by zone, country, site, and document type. Inspection simulation mode generates a gap analysis for any regulatory authority's expected TMF scope.
🔐
Audit Trail & Chain of Custody
Complete, tamper-evident audit trail for every document action — creation, upload, classification, review, approval, and access — with 21 CFR Part 11 compliant electronic signatures.
🌍
Country-Specific Regulatory Intelligence
Maintained library of country-specific regulatory document requirements across 40+ jurisdictions. The engine automatically adjusts expected document sets based on your study's active countries.
🔔
Missing Document Alerts & Workflows
Proactive alerts when expected documents are not received within configurable windows. Automated follow-up workflows route missing document requests to the responsible site, vendor, or team member.

How It Works

From Document Ingestion
to Inspection Confidence

The eTMF Intelligence Engine handles the complete document lifecycle — from the moment a file enters the system to the day an inspector requests access.

01
Ingestion

Ingest Documents from Any Source

Documents enter the system via direct upload, email integration, site portal submission, or API connection with your existing eTMF or document management system. The engine accepts all standard clinical document formats.

02
Classification & Filing

AI Classifies and Files Against the Reference Model

The document AI reads content, identifies the document type and scope, and files it into the correct DIA TMF Reference Model position — zone, section, and artifact. Classification confidence scores are displayed, with human review queues for low-confidence items.

03
Quality & Completeness

Assess Quality and Monitor Completeness in Real Time

Each document is quality-assessed against ALCOA+ principles and document-type-specific requirements. Simultaneously, the completeness monitor updates the TMF's expected-vs-received status against study milestones and site activations — surfacing gaps in real time.

04
Inspection Readiness

Maintain Continuous Inspection Readiness

The inspection readiness score is continuously updated. Inspection simulation mode lets you model what an FDA, EMA, or MHRA inspection would find — identifying remaining gaps before an inspector does. When inspection begins, controlled access is granted with full audit trail.

Regulatory Framework Alignment

Built on the Standards
That Regulators Expect

The eTMF Intelligence Engine's logic, document expectations, and quality criteria are grounded in the regulatory frameworks your TMF will be measured against.

ICH E6(R3)
Good Clinical Practice — Revised Guideline
Updated essential document requirements, risk-proportionate oversight, and trial master file expectations form the foundation of the engine's completeness logic.
DIA TMF RM
DIA TMF Reference Model v3.x
The filing structure, zone hierarchy, and artifact taxonomy of the DIA TMF Reference Model is the engine's primary filing framework — with automated mapping and deviation flagging.
21 CFR Part 11
FDA Electronic Records and Signatures
Full compliance with FDA requirements for electronic records — including audit trails, access controls, system validation documentation, and electronic signature requirements.
EU Annex 11
EMA Computerised Systems Guideline
European regulatory requirements for computerised systems in clinical trials — data integrity, backup, recovery, and audit trail provisions aligned throughout.
ALCOA+
Data Integrity Principles
Every document quality assessment applies ALCOA+ criteria — Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, Accurate — plus Complete, Consistent, Enduring, and Available.
EudraCT / CTIS
EU Clinical Trial Regulations
Country-specific document requirements for European study sites, aligned with the Clinical Trials Regulation (EU) No 536/2014 and CTIS submission requirements.

Inspection Readiness

Always Ready.
Never Scrambling.

Real-time inspection readiness is the ultimate goal of TMF management. The eTMF Intelligence Engine maintains a continuous readiness score with granular visibility into every gap.
