Paragon Solutions to Present Standardized TMF Content Insights at DIA 2015 Annual Meeting

CRANFORD, N.J. - May 27, 2015 - PRLog -- Paragon Solutions will present and exhibit at the 51st Annual DIA 2015, the largest global multidisciplinary event for professionals in the discovery, development and life cycle management of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, and related products. DIA 2015 takes place from Sunday, June 14, to Thursday, June 18, 2015 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington, DC.

Paragon’s Michael Agard, Principal Consultant, will present ‘Think Standard Inventory Means Technical Interoperability? Think Again’ during DIA 2015’s session, ‘Mapping the Future for Trial Master File: Advancing Standards by Harmonizing Clinical and Technical Strengths’ beginning at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, June 17, in Room 202B of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington, DC.

Currently, standardization has become the norm across the clinical research spectrum. The industry has embraced data standards, such as MEDRA, CDISC, and eCTD. The Trial Master File (TMF) is a collection of content that demonstrates that the sponsor conducted the study in accordance with protocol and Good Clinical Practice. In the past several years there has been an industry move to creating best practice and standardizing the Trial Master File content.

Standardized TMF content ensures completeness of regulatory submission, regulatory inspection readiness and trial execution. The TMF standards are evolving to address the interoperability needs of collaboration, mergers, acquisitions, licensing efforts and records retention. This session will discuss the importance of standards in TMF and explore the currently available standards within the industry.

Agard, who joined Paragon Solutions in 2010, is engaged in the architecture and business analysis of eTMF, eISF and portal systems. He specializes in optimizing clinical and regulatory operations for improved compliance.  He has experience in Clinical Operations, Data Management, and Clinical Packaging and is active in TMF standards development for DIA and OASIS.
