NDS Level 2: Practical CTD and eCTD Preparation for Drug Product Submissions

Greetings!


There is a big difference between understanding how an NDS is structured and actually knowing how to work through one.


Once you move beyond the fundamentals, the questions get more specific.


What belongs in Modules 3, 4, and 5? How do you manage an eCTD submission once it is already in motion? What happens when Health Canada comes back with questions? And how do you prepare for the parts of the submission process that rarely look quite as tidy in practice as they do on paper?


That is where NDS Submissions Explained: Level II picks up.


And this time, the workshop is being led by someone who has spent years working on these questions from inside regulatory affairs.


Meet Your Instructor: Raymond Ho


Raymond Ho is a regulatory affairs professional with more than seven years of experience across pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and natural health products.


His work has included drug submissions to Health Canada and the FDA, new and supplemental drug submissions, drug master files, eCTD filings, product lifecycle activities, pharmacovigilance reporting, and regulatory compliance.


At Johnson & Johnson MedTech, Raymond has also worked on regulatory strategy for a portfolio of high-risk orthopedic medical devices, leading submissions through Health Canada and securing approvals.


That breadth matters here.


Because Level II is not simply about learning what the CTD modules are. It is about getting closer to how submissions are prepared, managed, questioned, amended, and moved through the regulatory process in practice.


Raymond will take participants deeper into:

  • Preparing and working through CTD Modules 3, 4, and 5
  • Managing quality, nonclinical, and clinical documentation within an NDS
  • Preparing for pre-submission meetings with Health Canada
  • Responding to Notices of Deficiency (NOD) and Notices of Non-Compliance (NON)
  • Managing the eCTD lifecycle, including amendments and additional information
  • Formatting, cross-referencing, and hyperlinking submission documents effectively
  • Understanding where eCTD and non-eCTD submissions differ
  • Working through regulatory questions while keeping a submission compliant
  • Looking at case studies to understand what successful NDS submissions involve

The goal is not simply to know more regulatory terminology.



It is to leave with a better understanding of what happens when an NDS becomes real work, and how an experienced regulatory professional approaches the decisions, documentation, and regulator interactions that come with it.

If you already have a grounding in CTD and eCTD, have completed Level I, or work with regulatory submissions and want to go further into the practical side of the process, Level II is designed to take the conversation a step deeper.


And with Raymond leading it, you will be learning from someone who has worked with regulatory submissions across products, jurisdictions, and stages of the lifecycle.


All participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance upon completion.

AI Is Changing Pharma. But What’s Actually Working?

Proof, Not Promise: How AI Is Actually Changing Pharma

Greetings!


There is no shortage of talk about AI in pharma.


The harder question is: what is it actually doing?


Big Data and AI are already changing parts of drug discovery, clinical trials, and safety. But the picture is far from uniform. Some applications have real evidence behind them. Others are still largely experimental. And as the technology moves further into regulated work, another question becomes increasingly important: what do regulators actually expect?


Proof, Not Promise: How AI Is Actually Changing Pharma is built around that distinction.


Rather than another broad conversation about what AI might eventually do, this workshop looks at where things actually stand today, what the evidence tells us, and where the regulatory landscape is heading next.


We’ll get into:

  • How Big Data and AI have changed some of the basic assumptions behind pharma R&D
  • Where AI is actually making a difference across discovery, clinical trials, and safety
  • What has been proven so far, and what hasn’t
  • Where FDA, EMA, and ICH currently stand on AI
  • How “context of use” and risk can help you make sense of AI tools and claims
  • What to keep an eye on over the next 12-18 months as regulation continues to evolve

The point is not to come away believing that AI will change everything.


It is to come away with a much clearer sense of what has already changed, what deserves some skepticism, and what people working in pharma should be paying attention to now.

If you work in clinical research, regulatory affairs, safety, pharmaceutical R&D, or another area touched by these changes, this is a chance to cut through some of the noise around AI and look at what is actually happening in the industry.
