CTD (Common Technical Document)

The Common Technical Document (CTD) is a standardized format for submitting information to regulatory authorities about pharmaceuticals and medical products. It organizes data into five main sections: quality, safety, efficacy, clinical data, and labeling. This structure helps streamline the review process by providing a clear, consistent way for manufacturers to present their information. The CTD format is used internationally, facilitating easier approval of medications across different countries, ensuring safety and effectiveness for consumers. Overall, it promotes efficiency and transparency in the drug approval process.
