Wingspan eTMF Adds TMF Reference Model Browser
BLUE BELL, PA --- Wingspan Technology’s industry-leading eTMF now offers the ability for a user to browse any study in the TMF Reference Model Version 3 structure. The Reference Model browser allows a trial to be viewed in a tree structure based on the Reference Model zone, section and artifact. Any user can choose to view a study in this structure, even if it was created in an earlier version of the Reference Model or if the organization has modified the Reference Model to meet their requirements. A user can switch between this view and Wingspan’s powerful consumer-style filter navigation with a single click. The TMF Reference Model Browser provides a number of advantages over a traditional folder structure:
Clicking on any level will display a roll-up of all documents under that level. For example, clicking on the Safety Zone will show all documents across sections and artifact types within that zone. Traditional folder views would always show empty folders at the Zone and Section levels. The structure can be filtered to show specific countries and sites. As a result, it becomes much more usable than traditional folders in large studies with dozens of countries and hundreds of sites, which would otherwise result in hundreds of documents in each folder.
- Because the structure is created dynamically, it will never contain empty folders.
- The structure is easily updated by the organization’s own Business Administrators when the Reference Model changes or an organization makes its own changes to taxonomy. Changes can be made without modification to existing documents.
“Sponsors and who have committed to using the TMF Reference Model are now faced with the challenge of incorporating the best practice changes in the new Version 3,” said Kathie Clark, Wingspan’s Vice President of Product Management. “Wingspan’s TMF Reference Model browser means that they can upgrade their eTMF, even during an ongoing trial, and still see a unified presentation of a specific Trial Master File.”

Behind the Buzz: Why Clinical Research Leaders Flock to SCOPE Summit
February 7th 2025In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
