Regulatory submission

    In Regulatory & approvals

    Also known as: marketing authorization application, MAA, new drug application, NDA

    A regulatory submission is the dossier a company files asking an authority to approve a product for sale. It brings together the manufacturing, non-clinical, and clinical evidence, including the clinical study reports and the underlying datasets. Most authorities require it in a standard electronic structure so reviewers can navigate any submission the same way.
