4. ADVICE ON SPECIFIC APPLICATION TYPES<br />

4.1 Initial MA Applications<br />

The recommended start for an <strong>eCTD</strong> life cycle is the initial MA application. It should normally be<br />

provided as sequence 0000. Any other number should be justified in the cover letter. All documents<br />

included should have the operation attribute “New” and be placed in the relevant sections in line with<br />

the different <strong>eCTD</strong> specifications.<br />

The submission type should be initial-maa. The procedure type depends on the application that is<br />

made. Please find below an overview of the different application types:<br />

Procedure Procedure type<br />

Centralised Procedure (CP) centralised<br />

Decentralised Procedure (DCP) decentralised<br />

Mutual Recognition Procedure (MRP) mutual-recognition<br />

National national<br />

Repeat Use Procedure (RUP) mutual-recognition<br />

For responses to questions documents, see section 3.2.6.<br />

The following milestones of the procedures are proposed as appropriate sequences to be submitted<br />

during the assessment of an initial new application. Although the example relates to the centralised<br />

procedure similar principles can be applied to other procedures.<br />

4.2 Variation Applications<br />

All types of variations should be submitted within the <strong>eCTD</strong> as new sequences. The cover letter and<br />

application form should be included in the <strong>eCTD</strong> but the majority of NCAs also require these items to<br />

be submitted in signed paper format. Please refer to the Notice to Applicants, Volume 2A, Chapter 7<br />

for details. In the <strong>eCTD</strong>, the documents should be included as electronic sourced document and not as<br />

a scanned copy of the signed documents.<br />

<strong>Document</strong>s related to the variation should be included in relevant sections or be deleted by use of the<br />

appropriate document operation attribute.<br />
