Once gap-analysis of your marketing or investigational new drug application has been completed, Cato Research recommends that planning for the submission of the eCTD application begin. While many companies treat the actual compilation and submission of the application as an afterthought, the activities involved are numerous, complex, and interrelated. The activities must be well orchestrated, as there is no simple button to push. Cato Research’s experience reveals that detailed planning and management leads to a successful eCTD submission.
A CATO senior regulatory submissions specialist will be joined by a senior regulatory scientist and project manager to discuss the successful planning, organization, and management of marketing applications. Cato Research’s experience with applications both large and larger will inform the discussion. Pitfalls, lessons learned, and case studies will be included.
Webinar Key benefits for you:
- Understand the range of scope and complexity of large eCTD submissions
- Identify and prevent common pitfalls
- Discover planning and organizational tools to avoid delays
- Learn from successful case studies
