eCTD

Life sciences is a highly regulated industry, full of sensitive information that is required to be maintained efficiently. Documents are the backbone of any life sciences segment since it establishes the quality of processes and assurance of safety. The growing volume of documents in organizations exponentially increases the demand to replace traditional and manual documentation practices to reduce time, effort, and errors. In such scenarios, the absence of a proper Document Management System (DMS) increases the chance of misplacing critical documents and tracking changes significantly.

eCTD has turned into a standard norm for industry-wide submissions in a majority of regions across the globe. It provided a single standard for the electronic transmission of submissions data and enabled the industry to communicate and exchange information with Health Authorities harmoniously.

Drug development is an extensive and multifaceted process. In each phase of the development, manufacturers are obliged to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of their drugs in the form of Regulatory submissions. These submissions are intended to report how drug companies manufacture their drugs, design clinical trials, report safety findings, and create promotional material. The entire process involves near-constant correspondence between Regulatory affairs departments and the global Health Authorities (HAs).
