How a pharmaceutical company prepares and files a marketing application (dossier) with regulators and handles their queries.

Regulatory submission flowchart: regulatory affairs plans the submission, departments author documents (quality/CMC, non-clinical, clinical) in the CTD format, documents go through review and approval in the document management system, the team compiles and validates the eCTD, publishes it and submits it to the regulator's gateway. The regulator validates and reviews; queries (deficiency letters) are answered in response cycles until approval or rejection, then labelling is finalised.

How a suspected side effect reported by a doctor or patient is captured, assessed and reported to the regulator on time (pharmacovigilance).
The systems that run a clinical trial: trial management, electronic data capture, randomisation, drug supply and safety reporting.
How medicine packs are serialised and traced from factory to pharmacy to stop counterfeits: unique codes, aggregation and verification.
A schema for electronic batch records in pharmaceutical manufacturing: products, master recipes, batches, steps, materials used and deviations.
