One changed section, from conflict to signature
Veltrimab BLA — a humanized anti-IL-23p19 antibody for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis — is due for submission on December 14, 2026, as eCTD sequence 0000. It is October 6, 69 days out. Here is what happens next, screen by screen, in the working solution.

Module 2 as a binder, with its evidence on every node
Dr. Maya Chen · Clinical efficacy leadMaya owns 2.7.3 Summary of Clinical Efficacy. The binder shows the ICH M4 tree — 14 sections, 4,812 statements each cited to a page, 312 facts across modules, 6 of 14 signed. Every node shows the studies it cites, a citation-coverage ring and who signs. Her own section already carries a conflict: 2.7.3.2 says 818 patients randomized in VLT-302; 2.5.4 says 824.
“2.7.3.2 uses the full-analysis-set count (818) but calls it ‘randomized’. The final CSR and 2.5.4 both give 824 randomized.”

Sam updated 2.7.4 — exposure turns amber
Consistency agentSam Patel, the clinical scientist, has just updated 2.7.4.1 Exposure to the drug. Maya opens 2.7.4 and the consistency agent checks its 29 facts against 2.5, 2.7 and Module 5, live. 2.7.4.1 states 1,947 patients exposed, from the final Integrated Summary of Safety (Sep 9, page 22, Table 1.2). 2.5.5 says 1,935 — it still cites the June data cut, now superseded. Twelve patients apart, both pages side by side, and the owner named: Dr. Omar Haddad owns 2.5.
“Patients exposed to veltrimab: 2.5.5 says 1,935, 2.7.4.1 says 1,947.”

The superseded page, opened at the passage
Dr. Maya Chen · Clinical efficacy leadMaya opens the source 2.5.5 cites: Integrated Summary of Safety — June data cut, draft v0.9, page 22 of 296, marked superseded. The passage is highlighted: 1,935 subjects received at least one dose, for 2,207 patient-years of exposure, data cut June 30, 2026.

It finds why they differ and drafts the fix
Consistency agentThe agent opens both versions of Table 1.2, finds that 12 patients enrolled in VLT-303 after the June 30 cut, and proposes a tracked change to 2.5.5 cited to the final report, page 22: “Across the program, 1,947 patients received at least one dose of veltrimab, for 2,316 patient-years of exposure.”
The consistency agent proposes; it never applies a fix or closes a conflict.

The fix goes to the person who owns 2.5
Dr. Maya Chen → Dr. Omar HaddadMaya does not own 2.5, so she cannot apply the change — she sends it to Dr. Omar Haddad, the clinical lead who owns the Clinical Overview. The conflict stays open on the node until he applies it.
“Fix sent to Dr. Omar Haddad. 2.5.5 will read 1,947 once Omar Haddad applies it; the conflict closes then.”

2.7.3 cannot be signed while one statement disagrees
Dr. Maya Chen · Clinical efficacy leadIn the 2.7.3 draft, 213 of 214 statements are verified against their cited pages. One is red: “In VLT-302, 818 patients were randomized 2:1 to veltrimab (n=546) or placebo (n=272).” The citation verifier opened CSR VLT-302, page 112, Table 14.1.1.1 Subject disposition: 824 randomized, 818 in the full analysis set. Until it is fixed, Approve section will not let her sign: “2.7.3 cannot be signed yet.”
“Disagrees with the source. Says 818 randomized. The cited table shows 824 randomized and 818 in the full analysis set — and 2.5.4 states 824.”
- 07Fix with agent
The right population, each number with its page
Consistency agentOn Facts across modules, the agent compares populations and proposes: “In VLT-302, 824 patients were randomized 2:1 to veltrimab (n=549) or placebo (n=275); 818 received at least one dose and formed the full analysis set.” It re-checks 2.5.4 and 2.7.6 — both already say 824. Maya owns 2.7.3, so she applies it herself.
“You decide — nothing changes until it is applied.”

She signs with the meaning of her signature
Dr. Maya Chen · Clinical efficacy leadNow 214 of 214 statements are verified, all figures match 2.5.4, 2.7.6 and the sources, and the one tracked change is listed. Maya signs as Dr. Maya Chen · Clinical efficacy lead, meaning “Approved as section owner”, with her password.
