eSubmission Gateway and eSubmission Web Client
The eSubmission Gateway and the eSubmission Gateway Syncplicity Web Client are electronic submission channels that allow the applicants to submit documents supporting all types of applications for human and veterinary medicines to the Agency securely over the internet in structured and non-structured formats. The web-based Gateway Web Client may be more suitable for small and medium-sized companies, however it is available for all applicants. The Gateway and the Web Client users will benefit from an automated confirmation of the technical validation feedback and an automated upload to the Agency’s eCTD review system. The use of the eSubmission Gateway and the Web Client is mandatory for all human and veterinary submissions.
It is mandatory to use XML delivery files for submissions via the eSubmission Gateway and the Web Client.

eSubmissions Gateway – naming of the working documents folder
When submitted with an eCTD, the Working Documents should always be provided in a separate folder called "xxxx-workingdocuments" on the same submission zip package containing the eCTD, where the number (xxxx) matches the number of the eCTD sequence being submitted.
Any deviation will lead to a failed submission, and the package will have to be resubmitted with the correct naming. For example, if sending sequence "0007", which contains working documents, the separate folder should be named "0007-workingdocuments".
More details can be found in chapter 2.9.10 of the Harmonised guidance eCTD - version 6.0.

Opportunity to submit SEND data packages with new Market Authorisation Applications
From January 2024, EMA is launching a proof-of-concept study to evaluate the added value of using SEND data in the evaluation of new Marketing Authorisation Applications. Applicants are encouraged to submit their SEND data packages, in addition to the eCDT format, as part of their MAA submission. The SEND package must be provided outside the eCTD, inside the working documents folder to avoid eCTD technical validation failure.
An updated version of the eSubmission Gateway XML delivery file user interface will be available starting with 11 January 2024, 18:00 CET. This update introduces in the delivery file for Human submissions the option to specify if there is a “SEND Data package Included”.
Users should note that the delivery files created prior to the new release will not work after the go live.
What is SEND?
SEND is the Standard for Exchange of Nonclinical Data between organisations, which provides a standardised format for the submission of nonclinical data to regulatory bodies.
SEND was created by the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) in 2002 to execute on the Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) for the submission of nonclinical studies. A SEND dataset package contains the SEND datasets (.xpt files), the Nonclinical Study Data Reviewer's Guide (nsdrg.pdf), and the Define XML Document (define.xml).
Why a proof-of concept?
Standardisation of data presentation has been shown to significantly reduce the time regulators require for reviewing the non-clinical data packages. In this proof-of-concept study, we will evaluate whether using SEND data in the assessment of the non-clinical dossier will lead to improved and more consistent quality of assessments, to more science-driven questions to Applicants, and to faster completion of the non-clinical dossier assessment.
