Event summary

European Medicines Agency (EMA) offers a virtual training programme organised by the Drug Information Association (DIA).

It aims to support sponsor user preparedness concerning the new way of submitting Clinical Trial Applications (CTA) in the European Economic Area (EEA). The new way of submitting is via the new Clinical Trial Information System (CTIS) and in compliance with the Clinical Trial Regulation No. 536/2014.

This training opportunity is supported by EMA Data Analytics and Methods Task Force (TDA).

A hands-on approach will be used to explain and demonstrate the functionalities of the system. These functionalities include:

  • User management
  • Submitting initial applications
  • Submitting modifications, both substantial and non-substantial
  • How to manage the life cycle of a Clinical Trial

The training programme will also address how to manage the clinical trial transparency and respond to a request for information (RFI).

Furthermore, search and download options will be demonstrated and how CTIS interacts with other EMA systems such as the XEVMPD, EMA account management and OMS. 

The training programme also includes information on how to submit Annual Safety Reports (ASRs) as well as Clinical Study Reports (CSRs).

A blended learning approach is being used, offering components on-demand, self-paced and live virtual.

Participants receive access to the CTIS training environment and will practice basic functionalities during the live training course.
