53. Seven Reasons Growing Biotech's Bring Their eTMF In-House 3/10/2021

    Biotech companies starting their first few clinical trials typically do not have the resources to host an eTMF in-house. For this reason, they often outsource to a Clinical Research Organization (CRO) and use the CRO’s applicable software. If the study is successful and moves to subsequent phases, or if Biotech adds new studies to their portfolio, hosting the eTMF with subcontractors limits the Biotech from moving operations in-house or engaging new CROs. Continue reading to learn more reasons why Biotech companies are bringing their eTMF in house even if they outsource services to subcontractors.
