The Terminology section covers the controlled terminologies/vocabularies for clinical trial data or nonclinical study data.
Electronic Submission Format provides specifications and recommendations on submitting study data using the eCTD format.
Study Data Validation and Traceability detail the recommendations on conformance to standards, data validation rules, data traceability expectations, and legacy data conversion.
By following the guide, sponsors and researchers can ensure that their study data submissions are technically compliant and consistent with FDA expectations. By following the guidance, you will ensure that your study data submissions are technically compliant and consistent with FDA expectations.
