Validated, GxP-ready clinical AI for TMF document processing

TransPerfect Automate

TransPerfect Automate is a purpose-built AI platform for Trial Master File (TMF) operations. It classifies documents, extracts metadata, and runs completeness and quality checks directly inside your eTMF, operating in a validated, locked-state configuration designed for regulated life sciences environments. The result is faster document handling, consistent metadata, and inspection-ready documentation, without disruption to established TMF workflows.

Simplify TMF Management with AI

TransPerfect Automate is powerful AI solution that eliminates the manual process of classifying documents to the TMF Index — reducing misfilings and driving eTMF automation across TMF management.

  • Automated, controlled document workflows that move records through classification, review, and filing without manual handoffs

  • Automatic metadata extraction and coding - 35+ fields per document, including site, country, investigator, study, dates, and protocol number

  • Document type identification and metadata configuration matched to each document type

  • Pre-trained on the CDISC reference model - 1,079 document types at the sub-artifact level covering ~100% of typical TMF structures out of the box, with no training required

  • Language-independant processing across 40+ languages

  • Confidence threshold that let's high-confidence document skip manual indexing completely, while lower-confidence documents route to human review

TransPerfect Automate | Core Capabilities

Classification & Metadata Extraction

Pre-trained on 1,079 document types using the CDISC reference model, Automate classifies at the sub-artifact level and extracts 35+ metadata fields per document — with no training required. Processing is language-independent across 40+ languages and covers approximately 100% of typical TMF structures out of the box.

Confidence scoring & quality control

Every document receives a confidence score with a rationale for its classification. Configurable thresholds let high-confidence documents auto-progress while lower-confidence or ambiguous documents (such as correspondence) route to human review. A Quality Score is generated per document type based on AI versus human validation.

Validated, locked-state AI

The model version, prompts, thresholds, and mappings are fixed and version-controlled, with a configuration fingerprint recorded in the audit trail for every processed document. There is no self-learning in production — all updates flow through formal change control and revalidation, supporting 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, and GAMP 5 validation principles.

Human-in-the-loop governance

Oversight is configurable to your risk tolerance. Reviewer corrections trigger a feedback loop that reprocesses and revalidates against document content and rules, and the full audit trail distinguishes metadata populated by Automate from metadata entered by a person. Users can review, override, and validate AI outputs at any step.

Automate is embedded directly in your TMF workflow, so your team never logs into a separate application. It integrates with your eTMF and other TMF systems — including Veeva Vault Clinical — via APIs and middleware.

1. Ingest

A document arrives in the TMF via inbox, upload, integration, or email

2. Trigger

Automate detects new documents and initiates processing

3. Process

Classification, metadata extraction, and confidence and quality scoring

4. Return

Results map automatically to the configured TMF fields

5. Route

The document auto-progresses, goes to QC review, or enters a review queue based on your thresholds

Practical TMF Business Cases for Machine Learning

laptop user

TransPerfect Automate puts clinical AI to work on the document tasks that slow TMF teams down:

  • Document Classification: Identify and route documents to the correct TMF location automatically
  • Document Redaction: Flag and protect sensitive information at scale
  • Document Quality: Surface incomplete, misfiled, or low quality records before they become inspection findings
  • Inspection Readiness: Maintain consistent, complete, audit-ready metadata throughout the trial

Why Automate

Validated GxP AI, not a general purpose model

Automate is deployed inside a HITRUST-certified hosting environment and operates under a validated system lifecycle. Many newer AI tools are not yet operating in validated, regulated environments — a baseline expectation for most life sciences organizations.

Built for TMF, not adapted to it

Automate is purpose-built for TMF workflows: the CDISC reference model, eTMF taxonomy, metadata relationships, and regulatory and quality document types. This domain focus consistently outperforms generic document AI on TMF content.

Proven in production

Automate has been running in production for close to two years on real TMF workflows, with operational performance data, real-world edge-case handling, and proven scalability into thousands of documents per hour.
