Your Partner in Regulatory Operations and Tackling Global Submissions
Life sciences companies face a host of operational challenges with managing global regulatory affairs submissions. These include meeting complex timelines, fluctuation in submission volume throughout the year, variations in requirements from region to region, and the complexity of gathering data from different functions and from affiliates. In addition, companies must deal with the logistical challenges of managing IT tools and systems, many of which don’t provide an end-to-end view of the submission process.
The process of eCTD publishing and submission requires a special skill and tool set, and a comprehensive understanding of the purpose of a dossier combined with future vision. Celegence offers all of that through its qualified team members and standardized procedures; mostly remotely (onshore or offshore) and onsite when needed.
Celegence: a Global Perspective to Submission Publishing
Celegence provides dossier submission services worldwide, supporting both eCTD and Non-eCTD electronic submissions [NeeS] formats. All submission services are supported by our experienced regulatory intelligence team, whose deep knowledge of local and regional guidelines ensure the provision of compliant and efficient regulatory publishing services. We can help streamline your end-to-end submissions management process, from dossier development to health authority interactions.
Our eCTD publishing services and document level publishing expertise take the complexity out of commonly experienced problems, such as formatting and hyperlinking issues, floating sections, and error corrections.
The Benefits of Electronic Submissions
Regulatory dossiers contain the proof of the favorable benefit-risk ratio of a medicinal product for defined patient populations when used according to the product information. Also, it contains the proof that the product can be produced with a consistent high quality, safeguarding the patients.
Paper dossiers – though still being used in the majority of countries worldwide – are time‑consuming, costly and not transparent over time. Electronic dossiers are less time consuming, less costly and transparent over time, provided that it is implemented as electronic processes. These electronic processes should be used instead of paper processes, not on top of them. Electronic dossiers (as ICH eCTDs) are a commodity in WHO reference countries and embraced in more and more countries. When lifecycle is applied correctly during eCTD publishing and submission, it offers full transparency of what has been submitted, when, and for what purpose. It allows us to associate additional data to the dossiers, to track agency responses, including approvals and commitments.
