CTIS - New Version of the Sponsor Handbook

The go-live date for the CTIS is 31 January 2022. The System will then become the single entry point for clinical trial application submission, authorization and supervision in the EU. In order to help sponsors prepare for using the CTIS, the EMA has recently published a Sponsor Handbook. It covers priority topics identified with the help of clinical trial sponsors, with references and links to further supporting materials (e.g. List of Acronyms / Glossary). The EMA will be updating this CTIS Sponsor Handbook with further priority topics as needed and a revised version has now been published.
