A Proposal for a Comprehensive Quality Overall Summary

ISPE

The TPP defines the indication and patient population, describes usage of the product, provides dosage and administration details, explains dosage form and strengths, and lists packaging and storage requirements. The purpose of the QTPP is to link the attributes of the DP back through the TPP to the needs of the intended patient population.
