FDA hosts live webinar for the Animal Drug Manufacturing System eSubmitter tool

The FDA announced, in a company release,¹ the launch of its live webinar titled, “Reporting of Veterinary Drug Supply Chain Information Using the Animal Drug Manufacturing System (ADMS) eSubmitter Tool.” The webinar is scheduled for June 22, 2022, from 1:00-3:30 PM ET for animal drug manufacturers, US agents and consultants, and government agencies involved in the pharmaceutical supply chain.

The eSubmitter tool is a free software that supports the creation of electronic, secure submissions to the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) for review.¹

The ADMS webinar will focus on the system’s functionality updates. The overall schedule of events of the webinar will include explaining the process for collection of supply chain information and live demonstrations of users entering information into the various ADMS Books and eSubmitter templates. The webinar will also provide a live Q&A section where users can ask questions about the system.

The new enhancements made for the eSubmitter tool is quoted by the FDA as, “a project funded by The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. Collecting facility information will enable CVM to rapidly access information on animal drug products, active pharmaceutical ingredients, and the status of manufacturing sites, so that the agency can identify and address critical facilities and animal drugs impacted by emerging diseases or natural disasters and help to identify solutions to potential animal drug shortages.”²

The webinar will be recorded and posted to CVM’s webinar webpage for those unable to make the live session.
