Frankfurt/Main, Germany and Singapore, Singapore 30 May 2023
The consortium of LORENZ Life Sciences Group, VRG Pte. Ltd. & Websparks Pte. Ltd. has been awarded the contract to provide an eCTD reviewing solution to the Singapore Health Authority (HSA). This solution will receive and review eCTD dossiers and assist in the development of a regional schema and eCTD specification.
The consortium will provide a complete eCTD solution comprising LORENZ’s core software applications: docuBridge, eValidator, and Automator, and a portal offering from Websparks. Project management, consulting, training services, and support will also be provided by all consortium members.
HSA intends to introduce the eCTD system gradually, and its adoption for dossier submissions will be optional. The system’s initial release will cater to new drug applications, generic drug applications, and their corresponding Drug Master File (DMF) submissions.
“We are honoured to be part of the consortium which will support Singapore’s efforts to optimize its drug evaluation and approval system. We are confident that together, we can provide an integrated, world-class solution that will fully address their needs,” says Wolfgang Witzel, President of LORENZ Life Sciences Group.
Websparks is committed to working closely with HSA to ensure a successful implementation of the eCTD system. This partnership with LORENZ Life Sciences Group and VRG marks a significant milestone in Websparks’ commitment to providing integrated, world-class solutions that address the client’s needs.
