FDA updated the guideline for Providing Regulatory Submissions in Electronic Format to reflect that the requirement for Type III drug master files (DMFs) to be filed electronically takes place 60 months after May 5, 2015.

Currently, validation issues occur in 90% of initial marketing authorisation applications (MAAs).  These validation issues create additional workload for companies and potential delays at a critical moment for the timely start of the procedure.

There is few time left until end of March and there are still quite some uncertainties with regards to the Brexit.
Asphalion can assist with the RMS transfer and provide EU QPPV, PSMF establishment and SME registration within the EU.
