Do you need to comply with the May 2018 electronic submission requirements for commercial INDs and Master Files? Here’s the place to start . . .
The deadline is fast approaching for your company to migrate to electronic-only regulatory submissions based on the required ICH eCTD format. To successfully meet the new requirements, organizations need to understand the underlying CTD structure upon which electronic submissions are built, and suggestions for implementing operational changes that will lead to successful electronic regulatory applications. During this workshop, you will learn:
- Different submission types
- Which applications need to be submitted electronically
- How to understand and follow the CTD structure
- How to use the M4 series of guidances and granularity to generate compliant submissions
- Agency-compliant PDF files and how to generate them
- Which agency guidelines and technical specifications publishers need to follow
- What tools are required to electronically submit your applications
Join us for this two-day, training that will answer your eCTD questions and help you get on a direct path to compliance.
