6. ICH Q11: relevant to the preparation and organisation of the contents of sections 3.2.S.2.2 – 3.2.S.2.6 of Module 3.

7. ICH Q10: This guideline applies to the systems supporting the development and manufacture of pharmaceutical drug substances (i.e., API) and drug products, including biotechnology and biological products,

throughout the product lifecycle. The elements of ICH Q10 should be applied in a manner that is appropriate and proportionate to each of the product lifecycle stages, recognising the differences among, and the different goals of each stage, i.e., continual improvement of process performance and product quality (This is section 3 of Q10 which describes the lifecycle stage goals and the four specific pharmaceutical quality system elements that augment regional requirements to achieve the ICH Q10 objectives, as defined in Section 1.5. It does not restate all regional GMP requirements).

Section 1.5 of ICH Q10 is about meeting Q10's three objectives to complement or enhance regional GMP requirements. The three objectives are: 1. Achieve product realisation, 2. Establish and maintain a state of control, 3. Facilitate continual improvment.

10. Electronic Regulatory Submission and Review

This page provides information about the electronic submission of regulatory information to the Center and the review of it by CDER staff. Additional guidance documents, when available in draft or final form, will be added to these pages.

11. Electronic Common Technical Document (eCTD): Source: FDA

eCTD Basics and Getting Started

The Electronic Common Technical Document (eCTD) is CDER/CBER’s standard format for electronic regulatory submissions. The FDA would like to work closely with people who plan to provide a submission using the eCTD specifications and we offer the following steps to help smooth the process.

Review the Published Guidance and Specifications documents below
View recent eCTD presentations by FDA staff
Refer to the Comprehensive Table of Contents Headings and Hierarchy for information on document location, and for a regulatory and CFR mapping to the CTD (see page 12)

Understand the Various Tools, Software and Training Opportunities
FDA as a government agency does not recommend specific software or tools. Information on tools, vendors, and eCTD preparation firms may be obtained by Internet search. We recommend that you choose eCTD software and tools that allow you to build, validate, and view an eCTD.
In addition, there are several non-profit organizations that sponsor conferences and offer training in eCTD, and FDA regularly participates in these events.
Submit a Sample eCTD to the FDA

Your first step after following the recommendations above would be to submit a sample eCTD for evaluation. For information on the process of submitting a sample, please refer to the Sample Submission Process.

Build Quality into Your Process to Ensure Success

Plan and prepare early for electronic submission
Build a knowledge base to understand the electronic submission process and clarify any questions you have on guidance documents
Ask CROs in advance to provide reports in searchable PDF format compliant with the ICH M4 Granularity Annex and FDA PDF Specification
Utilize a procedure to verify that your submission is complete and accurate
Don’t rush when submitting, since what can seem like a small error can have big implications (such as a wrong digit in your application number)
Take advantage of the Electronic Submissions Gateway and use FDA fillable forms and digital signatures for the fastest processing of your electronic submissions

It’s important to both view and validate your eCTD submission prior to submitting; see the eCTD validation specifications for more information. Review the most recent eCTD presentations by FDA staff so you’re aware of current recommendations.

If you have questions along the way, please do not hesitate to contact the CDER Electronic Submission (CDER ESUB) Support Team at esub@fda.hhs.gov.
