A split dossier needs one controlled view of shared scientific documents and country-specific materials before teams commit to submission.

CTIS Part I and Part II — Define the regulatory scope

CTR Articles 6 and 7 distinguish assessment content. Classify each document by Part I or Part II rather than by the department that happens to prepare it.

CTIS Part I and Part II — Build the working record

Build a country-by-document matrix showing protocol version, consent language, site suitability and reviewer. Add dependencies so that a protocol revision triggers the affected local materials.

CTIS Part I and Part II — Check before release

  • Match consent risks to the approved protocol.
  • Identify missing country and site evidence.
  • Confirm the final upload version independently.

CTIS Part I and Part II — Record the decision and handover

Resolve contradictory versions before release. Record which country package is ready and which remains blocked; Part I-only submission does not remove Part II requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Does Part I-only replace Part II?
No. It changes the submission sequence; applicable Part II assessment remains necessary.
Can one consent translation serve every country?
Only where the relevant requirements and content permit it; assess country suitability explicitly.
