Target product profile (TPP) in the US

A TPP can be prepared by a sponsor and then shared with the appropriate FDA review staff to facilitate communication regarding a particular drug development program. Submission of a TPP is voluntary. Purpose of a TPP is to provide a format for discussions between a sponsor and the FDA that can be used throughout the drug development process, from pre-investigational new drug application (pre-IND) or investigational new drug application (IND) phases of drug development through post marketing programs to pursue new indications or other substantial changes in labeling.

  • Dosage strength(s);
  • Container closure system
  • Therapeutic moiety release or delivery and attributes affecting pharmacokinetic characteristics (e.g., dissolution,aerodynamic performance) appropriate to the drug product dosage form being developed;

Drug product quality criteria (e.g., sterility, purity, stability and drug release) appropriate for the intended marketed product.
