eCDT Workshop

eCTD (electronic Common Technical Document) is a standard format of submitting Regulatory information (such as applications, supplements, and reports) to the concerned Health Authorities.

It provides a harmonized solution to implement the Common Technical Document (CTD) electronically.

An eCTD consists of individual documents in PDF format which are arranged in a hierarchical form as per the CTD structure. It also has an XML backbone which cross-links required documents and provides information regarding the submission.

The purpose of introducing eCTD is to reduce the burden on the reviewers and to simplify the process of submission to Regulatory authorities.
