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

should have the operation attribute “New” and be placed in the relevant sections in line with the different <strong>eCTD</strong><br />
specifications.<br />
The submission type should be initial-maa.<br />
For responses to questions documents, see section 3.2.6.<br />
