Montrium, an industry provider of Electronic Trial Master File solutions, announced that EastHORN Clinical Services has selected eTMF Connect to optimize its clinical programs and TMF management. EastHORN, a European CRO, will implement Montrium's eTMF platform to increase transparency to enable greater collaboration with sponsors, improve compliance and provide greater value for its customers.

"We firmly believe that technology solutions will give us a competitive advantage in the crowded CRO market. The value a powerful eTMF solution could have on the advancement of our clinical projects and the increased transparency a centralized tool could have on collaboration with our partners were important considerations in deciding on the Montrium system," said Dr. Malgorzata Szerszeniewska, CEO of EastHORN Clinical Services. "It was also important that we selected an eTMF tool that not only supported us with a robust functionality set but was incredibly intuitive and easy to use. Montrium was a clear leader in its class, and Montrium's technical support with the implementation of the system in EastHORN has been exemplary."

Clinical organizations are now competing in a new world; where the pressures of clinical trials are more intense than ever. Whether it's to reduce trial timelines or to increase quality—clinical teams are expected to do more with less. While many of these groups look to improving clinical resources and tools or optimizing processes, more and more are evaluating the implementation of electronic tools to increase clinical trial efficiency—most notably in the form of electronic trial master file solutions like eTMF Connect.

"CROs play an increasingly critical role in the execution of clinical trials, and have emerged as integral stakeholders in the compilation of Trial Master Files and electronic submissions," said Paul Fenton, President & CEO of Montrium. "We are extremely excited to have been selected as a strategic partner of EastHORN to help them empower their continued growth. Partnering with another forward-thinking CRO such as EastHORN attests to the growing traction our eTMF platform is having in the market."
