Insight Publisher Is Industry's Only eCTD Solution Built On Integrated Regulatory Information Management Platform

PHILADELPHIA and LONDON, Sept. 5 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Liquent, a Thomson business and global leader in providing regulatory software solutions, information products and related services for the life sciences industry, today announced that SMB & Galephar has selected InSight Publisher to streamline its regulatory platform. InSight Publisher is designed to accelerate the publishing process for drug submissions to the world's regulatory authorities.

InSight Publisher will enable SMB to create all the components of both electronic and paper submissions from a single assembly structure, enhancing efficiency and helping to bring new drugs to the market faster. InSight Publisher is built on the same platform as InSight Manager which offers sophisticated registration management and submission tracking capabilities and the entire platform is adaptable to many different organizational processes and designs, including centralized and decentralized publishing.

"The constantly changing regulatory framework makes it more difficult than ever to develop and register pharmaceutical products," said Philippe Baudier, SMB's CEO. "We're confident that InSight Publisher will shorten our time from finalized documents to the complete eCTD -- making complex compliance simple and seamless."

InSight Publisher also provides other new features to accelerate drug applications:

-- Step-by-step wizards for eCTDs and study reports help to streamline

the creation of submissions and reports that comply with ICH,

Japanese, Canadian, US and other regional specifications;

-- The most complete eCTD Conformity Checking that automatically performs

50 eCTD validation checks, including 32 ICH compliance requirements;

-- Templating capabilities that let companies pre-define the structure of

their content and the placement of paper publishing elements such as

tabs, slip sheets and cover pages;

-- An eCTD import wizard that helps organizations to continue their

lifecycle management of previously completed eCTD submissions.

"Liquent's InSight Publisher is the leading product in regulatory publishing," said Jim Nichols, Liquent's vice president of Product Strategy and Marketing. "Our one-of-a-kind technology is sure to save SMB critical time throughout their publishing process."
