  5. The rationale for electronic clinical trials • As the nature and complexity of clinical trials have gone up in recent times; sponsors (those carrying out the research) have to work with more number of clinical sites. Some of these are spread over many countries and across varied service providers who are many times located equally far and wide.

  6. Advantages of electronic clinical trials • The electronic nature of these eTMFs offers an easier and more secure way of sharing all documents relating to the clinical study, and carries some benefits or advantages over paper documentation: • Clinical trials organizations need not have the fear of loss or destruction of eTMFs • eTMFs are easily accessible in any site across the globe in real time, unlike paper documents that have to be transported to a particular site, which could sometimes be located in another continent.
