Placement of Integrated
Summaries of Safety and Effectiveness (ISS/ISE) in Applications
Submitted in the eCTD Format
The CTD summary sections in Module 2 are not the correct
location for the integrated summaries of safety and effectiveness (ISS/ISE)
required by 21 CFR 314.50 (see
ICH M4: The CTD
-- Efficacy Q&As, and presentations from the
2006 Drug Information Association Meeting).
CTD submissions are being submitted electronically, it is important
that the location of ISS/ISE information in an eCTD be consistent:
- In an eCTD, the ISE and ISS go in Module 5,
section 5.3.5.3.
- If the narrative portions of the ISE and ISS are
suitable for use in Module 2, sections 2.7.3 and 2.7.4 of the CTD,
the documents are placed once in these sections and referenced in
Module 5, section 5.3.5.3 (i.e., provide leaf elements in section
5.3.5.3).
The following table lists the various sections of the CTD that
contain summary and integrated discussions of efficacy and safety and
the corresponding FDA regulations, where applicable, that inform the
content of those sections. Any questions about these matters can be
raised with the appropriate reviewing division at FDA.
