Regulators now review with AI. Is your filing ready?

In June 2025 the FDA launched Elsa, its agency-wide AI tool, and agentic AI followed in December. That matters for sponsors because the first reader of a filing may now be an algorithm.

An algorithm is consistent. It does not skim, and it does not get tired at page 400. Inconsistencies between sections, missing cross-references and unsupported statements are exactly the sort of thing a machine reader finds quickly.

The practical response is not to guess what the agency tool will flag. It is to give your own team the same advantage: a systematic check that compares sections, tests them against published guidance and shows its evidence.

That is the idea behind an IND gap assessment run before filing. Software drafts the findings, a regulatory expert decides which ones matter, and every statement is linked back to a source so it can be checked.

If an algorithm reads your filing first, have it checked before you send it.
