Electronic Submissions: The Next Era of Electronic Submissions

Overview

As part of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) and the reauthorization of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA V), there will soon be a mandate for the use of electronic submissions, specifically the electronic common technical document (eCTD) in the US.  There already exists a mandate in Europe for marketing applications that are eligible for Centralized Procedure review.  Electronic submissions are accepted globally in various formats and there are well established standards being used for their creation.
This course will focus on the technical foundations of electronic submissions and their use as well as the practicalities and processes of creating them.  The use of technology and the specifications needed for various types of submissions will be presented along with common issues and challenges.  The US requirement for the submission of datasets will also be addressed.
Examples of how standards can be employed to generate and track applications will be discussed, and activities on locating current guidance and submission metadata will all be part of this interactive course.
Course Level: Beginner
Key Topics: 
eSub/eCTD Guidance, vocabulary and terminology, document and data standards, mapping from regulation to submission

What you will learn

This course will bring professionals with no experience up to date on all aspects of electronic submission and will address US specific requirements as well as the status in the rest of the world and the future of eCTD.  The course is technology and vendor neutral and will employ hands on use of basic software and internet use only.  This offering will be taught by an industry expert in regulatory affairs and electronic submissions and who specializes in training and education.
