Case Study

Building Clinical Documentation Excellence: How iOnctura Centralized and Strengthened Its TMF

The Challenge

iOnctura is a growing clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, focused on developing precision therapies for hard-to-treat cancers. With a diverse pipeline spanning Phase I and Phase II studies across solid and hematological tumors, the company was entering a critical stage of clinical development.

As clinical activity expanded and inspection readiness expectations increased, establishing a robust and scalable approach to trial master file (TMF) management became a priority. This presented new needs.

  • Need to further consolidate TMF activities implementing a centralized TMF platform, following transfer from the CRO and establishing a validated and compliant archiving solution for Phase I study data.

  • Need for enhancing SOP standardization and reinforcing a TMF‑first approach to help ensure consistent quality standards and sustain a high level of inspection readiness.

The Solution

Trial Interactive partnered with iOnctura to implement a phased approach combining consulting, training, and technology. The engagement began with organization-wide TMF workshops, aligning teams on GCP expectations, quality standards, and industry best practices—explaining the need for further investing in a shared compliance mindset.

This was followed by a comprehensive review of TMF plans and SOPs, identifying gaps and strengthening governance frameworks to support long-term scalability. In parallel, legacy Phase I studies were migrated into a centralized, compliant environment, supported by end-of-study TMF quality reviews. This culminated in the implementation of Trial Interactive Archiving as a secure, long-term repository for clinical documentation.

  • TMF best practice and process consulting

  • Organization-wide TMF training and workshops

  • SOP development and TMF framework enhancement

  • TMF migration and consolidation

  • End-of-study TMF quality reviews

  • Centralized archiving with Trial Interactive

The Impact

The partnership enabled iOnctura to transition to a structured, inspection-ready TMF model following transfer from the CRO. Today, iOnctura operates with a scalable TMF framework, supported by the right technology and a partner aligned with its continued clinical growth.

  • Improved TMF quality and completeness, driven by standardized processes and clearer ownership

  • Stronger inspection readiness culture, embedded across functions through training and governance

  • Reduced regulatory risk, with legacy Phase I studies now centralized, organized, and audit-ready

  • Enhanced visibility and control, enabling more confident quality oversight of TMF health
