eCTD – CONTINUING IMPLEMENTATION – FACTORS AFFECTING<br />

Session Chair:<br />

Andrew Marr, Director, Global e-Regulatory Development, Global Regulatory<br />

Operations, GlaxoSmithKline, UK<br />

The use of the eCTD is becoming more routine but many factors are affecting<br />

how it will be used. It is never static. The Centralised Procedure is most<br />

advanced with implementation and European Medicines Agency are looking to<br />

increase efficiency of handling. A new set of guidances from Switzerland have<br />

been issued to support implement the eCTD from <strong>2010</strong> and the new Variations<br />

regulations has impacts upon the way that eCTD will be used.<br />

e-SUBMISSIONS IN MRP/DCP AND NATIONAL PROCEDURES: WHEN WILL<br />

ALL EU AUTHORITIES AND THE INDUSTRY SWITCH TO ELECTRONIC-ONLY? A<br />

PANEL DISCUSSION<br />

Session Chair:<br />

Karin Gröndahl, Head of Registration and Information Management, MPA,<br />

Sweden<br />

Not all the EU authorities are ready for electronic only submissions despite the<br />

HMA agreement of 2<strong>00</strong>5 in Reykjavik which stated 31 December 20<strong>09</strong> as the<br />

deadline. Why could this goal not be fully met? What are the plans for further<br />

development in this direction? Will the eCTD one day be mandatory for<br />

MRP/DCP? Industry often points out the problems with meeting the different<br />

national requirements of each NCA and also that NeeS will still be needed in the<br />

future. Why is the NeeS format chosen so often? What are the obstacles to<br />

submitting eCTDs in MRP/DCP and how should they be overcome?<br />

A panel of stakeholders from industry and EU authorities will discuss different<br />

issues on e-Submission within MRP, DCP and National Procedures and questions<br />

from the audience will be encouraged.<br />
