Something Pharma.
Bringing pharma products to market means navigating a complicated path from the lab to the pharmacy while ensuring every step is in compliance with regulatory requirements. Agatha delivers a complete suite of applications that ensure inspection readiness at every step.
Supporting Clinical Operations
At Pharma companies, compliance with regulatory requirements is an absolute requirement, and maintaining inspection readiness is an absolute priority.
ClinOps leaders need to know that every document is in place, nothing is missing, and there is a complete audit trail of every action.
Agatha’s Clinical applications provide all the functionality needed to manage every aspect of the TMF process and ensure inspection readiness. That includes the collection, management, and tracking of all TMF (and ISF) content, automated information sharing between sponsors, CROs, and sites as well as tracking and reporting on a wide range of clinical trial information, including dates, milestones, sites, stakeholders, and the status of expected documents.

“Having the pilot is what made all the difference for us. It’s where we learned first hand what it was like to upload documents, to go through all the approval processes and all the different options, including any required configuration. I got to know the application and was able to provide feedback around my concerns, as well as understand what we would need to configure to meet our processes. So it was definitely crucial to our decision.”
