Update on eCTD submissions in China: Chinese CDE conducted eCTD Pilot
Posted on January 15, 2020
The CDE, China's regulatory agency conducted an eCTD pilot from November 25th through December 4th 2019. A selected number of industry companies were nominated to submit electronic submissions in eCTD format (CN v1.0 DRAFT).
Several of the selected companies were LORENZ customers, and they were able to use docuBridge (both cloud and on premises versions) to publish and submit their test eCTDs to the CDE. Feedback indicates that the process ran efficiently and without any problems.
We understand that the CDE is now sharing its experiences with the pilot with the NMPA and will soon be specifying next steps.
