Navigating CTIS for EU Clinical Trials

An Overview of Technical and Process Implications for Sponsors

The CTIS will soon become mandatory for all sponsors running EU trials

From additional documentation to increased exposure of files, CTR compliance can seem overwhelming and even intimidating.

This paper will help you gain a better understanding of the changes dictated by CTR, to better prepare your company for using CTIS effectively.

Multiple submissions are being consolidated into one, under the CTR

When CTD was in effect, trial sponsors had to submit separate applications to NCA (National Competent Authorities) and EC (Ethics Committee) in each country of involvement before awaiting individual assessment and approval. This fragmented and long-winded process left much to be desired and has since been superseded by CTR (Figure 1).

One of the primary benefits of CTR to trial sponsors is the introduction of submission portal and database, CTIS. By submitting just one clinical trial application, the assessment and governing of EU trials will be better coordinated, maximizing efficiency and fostering innovation—particularly for multinational studies.
