Case Study: Dermavant Sciences cuts NDA timeline by up to six weeks with Veeva Systems' Vault RIM

Dermavant Sciences Shaves Weeks Off Its NDA Timeline

Dermavant Sciences, a small immuno-dermatology company based in Long Beach, CA, faced an inefficient, largely manual submissions process as it raced to bring a new plaque psoriasis drug to market. With documents scattered in SharePoint, writers handing files to external contractors, and repeated rework and late-stage fixes, the company needed to mainstream publishing into day-to-day development rather than treating it as an end-of-process task.

Under director Jason Maze, Dermavant implemented Veeva Vault RIM (Vault Submissions, Archive, and Publishing), piloted gated workflows and content templates, and moved QC upstream into the authoring channel so publishing could be handled in-house. The changes cut rework almost to zero, improved document quality and user experience, and accelerated the NDA timeline—shaving about a month off the submission and up to six weeks off internal deadlines—while creating a stable single source of truth for regulatory content.
