CTD - Common Technical Document

The Common Technical Document (CTD) must now be Electronic for Easy Accessibility in an Enterprise

The common technical document (often abbreviated as CTD) was developed by the ICH (International Conference on Harmonization) working group with representatives from regulatory bodies in Europe, Japan and the United States. The CTD is a set of specifications for the submission of regulatory data in the application for the right to market pharmaceuticals. The format of the common technical document is not to be confused with its content or submission type; rather, it is the means by which information in a submission is organized. The eCTD (electronic CTD) is the fully electronic application message which is most commonly used for regulatory submissions.
