Overview

The electronic Common Technical Document (eCTD) is an electronic format that supports the submission of applications, amendments, supplements, and reports to the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and other Health Authorities (HAs) worldwide. eCTD facilitates the quick creation and review of electronic data with the flexibility to integrate metatags, hyperlinks, and bookmarks into the data. The eCTD enables efficient assessment and effective lifecycle management of submissions for quicker market approvals/authorizations.

With a comprehensive knowledge of global Regulatory publishing trends and submission formats (for example eCTD/Non-eCTD electronic submissions [NeeS]), Freyr supports multi-country filings, data compilation, data publishing, and dossier dispatches. For faster, compliant, and seamless submissions, Freyr offers an in-house eCTD publishing and submissions management software, Freyr SUBMIT PRO, that adheres to the regional and ICH standards.
