Rev Up eCTD Production With Microsystems DocXtools™ at Drug Information Association Annual Meeting

Microsystems, a leading provider of document authoring, editing, formatting and quality control solutions for the life science industry, is launching a new and improved version of DocXtools™ for Life Sciences at the Drug Information Association (DIA) Annual Meeting, June 18–22.

DocXtools for Life Sciences dramatically cuts the time required to review electronic common technical documents (eCTD) before submission. The software, which integrates with Microsoft® Word, helps medical writers, regulatory operations and reviewers accelerate document creation, formatting and review, improve efficiency and ensure document quality meets company and industry standards.

Along with a complete refresh of the user interface, DocXtools has new features. Users can now easily quality check abbreviations and fix inconsistencies.

“We conducted independent market research and found that 88 percent of medical writing professionals believe technology could speed up eCTD document quality checks and help them complete submissions sooner,” said Avaneesh Marwaha, president of Microsystems. ‘’Knowing that it typically takes 300-plus days for a regulatory agency to approve a new drug application, our goal is to provide innovative software that speeds up eCTD preparation so clients can submit documents earlier.’’

Feedback from market testing of the abbreviations functionality has been extremely positive.

“The software has become an extension of our team, eliminating manual review processes, accelerating production and increasing our confidence in the quality of our regulatory documents,” said Cullen Vogelson, president of Illuminated Research. “We’ve seen our review times associated with abbreviation checking plummet—from hours to minutes across lengthy and complex documents.”

Microsystems is a long-time innovator in document production solutions. The DocXtools update expands its offering to medical writers, regulatory teams and pharmaceutical consultants.
