Starting June 24th, 2021, the US FDA will require all your post-marketing submissions of promotional materials and submissions of promotional materials for accelerated approval products be submitted via electronic Common Technical Document (eCTD) format. The 37-page guidance by the FDA titled, “Providing Regulatory Submissions in Electronic and Non-Electronic Format — Promotional Labeling and Advertising Materials for Human Prescription Drugs” defines ‘FDA-required labeling’ as any labeling reviewed and approved by FDA as part of the marketing application review process. Whether it’s your website, television advertisements, exhibits, product brochures, print adverts, etc., make sure you are prepared June 24th to successfully submit your promotional submissions and avoid common eCTD formatting errors. Certara’s regulatory operations experts explain the need-to-know information for providing your promotional materials submissions in the eCTD format to the Office of Prescription Drug Promotion (OPDP) in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and the Advertising and Promotional Labeling branch (APLB) in the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER).
