How do I make sure my FDA submissions are compliant?

Read the white paper: Using Adlib PDF Enterprise for Electronic Common Technical Document Submissions Preparation

The FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) requires that submitted documentation meets their electronic common technical document (eCTD) format. In addition, the software used to create the regulatory submissions need to follow 21 CFR 11. While these requirements may seem stringent, the goal is to ensure that Life Sciences organizations have control over their data, including who enters it and who modifies it. The FDA also wants to make sure that the data can be easily and accurately accessed by the appropriate people. Overall, there needs to be controlled processes for generating this data.
