Digital Media System and LORENZ elaborated the specifics of Japanese eCTD
Tokyo and Frankfurt/Main, 29 August 2016 // Following the 2nd International Symposium of the Japan eCTD Society on May 24, 2016 in Tokyo, the partner companies Digital Media System and LORENZ initiated a taskforce to work on a knowledge base covering the specific items relating to eCTDs submitted to PMDA, the regulatory agency for pharmaceuticals and medical devices in Japan.
The Japanese eCTD's technical aspects are defined by the written specification and the official regional schema. These are addressed by established software solutions like LORENZ docuBridge. However, the taskforce went even further and investigated aspects of content section, validation and application submittal procedure that are specific to Japanese regulations.
This knowledge base is now an essential resource for global pharmaceutical companies on Japanese eCTDs. Even though a global regulatory affairs department can process/publish eCTD submissions for many regions with one centralized team, this approach is usually not successful for Japan.
Hiroji Emoto, President and CEO of Digital Media System Co., Ltd. noted that "with docuBridge we can utilize our specialized knowledge to provide eCTD service and consultancy to our customers in Japan very efficiently."
"Our joint knowledge that we have assembled over one decade enables us to combine our software with the services appropriate to specific regional requirements - a reason why we have an exclusive partnership with Digital Media System for Japan. This is also the reason why all our agreements with other global partners always exclude Japan," said Wolfgang Witzel, President of LORENZ Life Sciences Group.
