Introduction
In the fast-paced world of clinical research, the need for streamlined and efficient systems has never been greater. Terumo, a global leader in medical technology, recognized this need and embarked on a journey to modernize their clinical systems globally. Marie-Pierre Dewez, the Clinical Affairs Director EMEA at Terumo, shares her firsthand perspective on how Terumo leveraged Veeva MedTech's Vault eTMF and CTMS to achieve a unified, efficient, and compliant clinical ecosystem.
Unity Across Borders
One of the key challenges in large multinational companies like Terumo is the fragmented nature of their clinical operations across regions. With different systems, processes, and compliance requirements in place, ensuring harmonization and collaboration can be a daunting task. Veeva MedTech's Vault eTMF (electronic trial master file) and CTMS (clinical trial management system) offer a comprehensive solution to this challenge. By providing a single, centralized platform for managing all clinical trial documents and data, Terumo was able to break down silos, facilitate real-time collaboration, and ensure consistency across their global operations.
Efficiency and Compliance at Scale
Clinical research is highly regulated, and ensuring compliance with global standards and regulations is paramount. By implementing Veeva MedTech's Vault eTMF and CTMS, Terumo was able to streamline their document collection, exchange, and management processes while maintaining the highest levels of security and compliance. The advanced capabilities of Veeva's solutions, including automated workflows, audit trails, and electronic signatures, helped Terumo optimize their processes, reduce manual errors, and ensure data integrity throughout the clinical trial lifecycle.
Enhancing Visibility and Decision-Making
In a complex and dynamic clinical environment, having real-time visibility into trial progress and data is crucial for making informed decisions. Veeva MedTech's Vault eTMF and CTMS empower organizations like Terumo to access up-to-date information, track key milestones, and monitor performance metrics in a centralized dashboard. By providing comprehensive reporting and analytics capabilities, Veeva's solutions enable Terumo to gain valuable insights, identify trends, and drive continuous improvement in their clinical operations.
