  1. 0:01Welcome to Simplify Pharma.
  2. 0:03In this lecture, we will discuss the
  3. 0:06first step of quality by design
  4. 0:08and difference between TPP and QTPP.
  5. 0:12In pharmacy, it is very essential for a
  6. 0:15student to understand the concepts and
  7. 0:18more than that it is essential to apply
  8. 0:20them.
  9. 0:21Therefore, I have introduced something
  10. 0:23interesting in this video. That is
  11. 0:25concepts are explained with the help of
  12. 0:27case studies that will allow us to
  13. 0:29students to learn application of the
  14. 0:32concepts that we are learning.

  19. 0:45Now, coming to the QBD, the very first
  20. 0:48step that we saw in our last video, it
  21. 0:50was to define product profile
  22. 0:53which constitutes of two, that is TPP
  23. 0:56and QTPP.
  24. 0:58TPP means target product profile and
  25. 1:02QTPP means quality target product
  26. 1:05profile. So, the very first step of QBD
  27. 1:08is to define product profile. Now, let's
  28. 1:11see what is TPP, that is target product
  29. 1:15profile.
  30. 1:16Now, target product profile, it is a key
  31. 1:19document
  32. 1:20which provides information to the Food
  33. 1:23and Drug Administration about a drug
  34. 1:26development process.
  35. 1:28One thing we all need to understand, the
  36. 1:31entire QBD process that we are doing but
  37. 1:35QBD is nothing but a document, a
  38. 1:38document that we submit to the FDA.
  39. 1:41And that documents, it gives information
  40. 1:44regarding the drug development process.
  41. 1:46So, this entire QBD process is about
  42. 1:49documentation.
  43. 1:51And we can say thus this TPP it's a
  44. 1:56planning tool in drug development. It's
  45. 1:58a planning tool that we use in drug
  46. 2:00development. So, what is the purpose of
  47. 2:02TPP?
  48. 2:03The purpose of TPP is to ensure that the
  49. 2:07drug development process of the
  50. 2:09manufacturer, it is efficient and it
  51. 2:12provides all the required relevant
  52. 2:15medical, technical, and scientific
  53. 2:18information for evaluating the
  54. 2:20commercial outcome of a drug.
  55. 2:24So, this is what TPP is. Now, you can
  56. 2:28imagine when you're developing a drug,
  57. 2:31you need a guideline to help you
  58. 2:33understand what you are aiming for.
  59. 2:36As I gave previous example, it's like
  60. 2:39working in a laboratory.
  61. 2:41Now, in order to make any product in a
  62. 2:44lab, obviously before starting the
  63. 2:46experiment, the teacher provides you
  64. 2:49with the aim, objective, materials,
  65. 2:51chemicals that are required, procedure
  66. 2:53that we are going to follow and the
  67. 2:55calculation that we are going to do.
  68. 2:57What is all that? That is the profile
  69. 3:00that is being given to you.
  70. 3:02So, in the similar manner, if you want
  71. 3:04to manufacture any new product you need
  72. 3:07to have a product profile.
  73. 3:09Now, why are we calling it as a target
  74. 3:12product profile?
  75. 3:13First of all, let's see the definition
  76. 3:15of TPP.
  77. 3:17A prospective summary of the quality
  78. 3:20characteristics of drug product that
  79. 3:23ideally will be achieved
  80. 3:25to ensure the desired quality
  81. 3:28taking into account safety and efficacy
  82. 3:30of the drug product.
  83. 3:34So, when I said T when you're developing
  84. 3:36a drug, you need a guideline that helps
  85. 3:39you to understand what you are aiming
  86. 3:41for.
  87. 3:43So, once we know that guideline and once
  88. 3:46we know what we are aiming for
  89. 3:49then we can also determine what will be
  90. 3:51the end results
  91. 3:52that I want to see in my drug or that I
  92. 3:55want to see in my product. So, TPP, it
  93. 3:58helps to define what those end goals
  94. 4:01are.
  95. 4:02So, it is a tool that outlines the
  96. 4:05desired profile or characteristics of a
  97. 4:08product.
  98. 4:09Jab hum kuch banana chahte hain, any
  99. 4:12product that we want to manufacture
  100. 4:14before manufacturing that product, we
  101. 4:16need a guideline. What are we
  102. 4:19manufacturing?
  103. 4:20For what disease are we manufacturing?
  104. 4:22What is the target population?
  105. 4:25And how are we going to manufacture it?
  106. 4:28Will it show the results which it is you
  107. 4:30don't which it should show.
  108. 4:33So, all this profile, it comes under
  109. 4:36target product profile.
  110. 4:38So, it includes dosage form, route of
  111. 4:41administration,
  112. 4:43dosage strength, pharmacokinetic,
  113. 4:45stability
  114. 4:48starting from usage information,
  115. 4:49indication
  116. 4:51and then adverse reaction
  117. 4:53information about overdosing
  118. 4:56description of various aspects of the
  119. 4:57drug clinical pharmacology, toxicology
  120. 5:01study, clinical studies, the references
  121. 5:03that were used, then storage and
  122. 5:06handling condition, information even
  123. 5:08about patient counseling.
  124. 5:10Anything and everything related to the
  125. 5:13drug or related to the product that we
  126. 5:15want to manufacture
  127. 5:17is included in target product profile.
  128. 5:21So, this TPP is patient and labeling
  129. 5:25centered concept.
  130. 5:26When we say patient and labeling
  131. 5:28centered concept, what does it mean?
  132. 5:31It can identify desired performance
  133. 5:34characteristics of the product.
  134. 5:36See, in order to manufacture any new
  135. 5:39product, first of all
  136. 5:41the thing that should come into your
  137. 5:42mind is the disease that you want to
  138. 5:45target.
  139. 5:46I want to manufacture
  140. 5:48a product that targets cancer. I want to
  141. 5:51manufacture anti-cancer product. I want
  142. 5:54to manufacture product, for example, uh
  143. 5:57that targets
  144. 5:59migraine. So, I want to manufacture
  145. 6:01anti-migraine product. So, this is how
  146. 6:04we come up with the aim or objective.
  147. 6:07So, as per that, we have to identify the
  148. 6:09desired performance characteristics of
  149. 6:11the product.
  150. 6:13And that should be related to the
  151. 6:15patient's need.
  152. 6:16That's why the very first thing that we
  153. 6:18have to keep in mind, what do the
  154. 6:20patient require?
  155. 6:22The patient require a sustained release
  156. 6:23dosage form, whether the patient require
  157. 6:25immediate release dosage form.
  158. 6:28How you know, we have to take into
  159. 6:29consideration the patient compliance.
  160. 6:32And it is organized according to the key
  161. 6:35section in the drug labeling.
  162. 6:38So, first thing we have to keep in mind,
  163. 6:41the patient requirement and second thing
  164. 6:43that we have to keep in mind, how the
  165. 6:45entire target product profile is
  166. 6:47organized. Main thing keeping in mind
  167. 6:49the drug labeling.
  168. 6:52So, that's why it is patient and
  169. 6:55labeling centered.
  170. 6:57So, in target product profile, first of
  171. 6:59all, you have to identify the target.
  172. 7:02How do we do that?
  173. 7:04That is we have to define what are the
  174. 7:06patient needs and as per that we have to
  175. 7:10design the drug labeling.
  176. 7:12So, first we have to identify the
  177. 7:14target, then we have to design it and
  178. 7:16then we have to implement it.
  179. 7:19Uh let's see a bit more in detail.
  180. 7:23When I say we have to identify the
  181. 7:24target, that is depending upon the
  182. 7:27patient need, the labeled use taking
  183. 7:30into consideration the safety and
  184. 7:32efficacy of the product, you will
  185. 7:34identify the target.
  186. 7:36So, that will be like defining the
  187. 7:38target product prof- profile or maybe we
  188. 7:42can also call it as a QTPP, quality
  189. 7:45target product profile.
  190. 7:47Then we have to design it. That's why
  191. 7:50come into the picture the design
  192. 7:52formulation and the design process.
  193. 7:55And this is the reason we identify CMA
  194. 7:57and CPP, critical material attributes
  195. 8:01critical process parameters.
  196. 8:03And then when we have to implement it,
  197. 8:05how are we going to implement it? By
  198. 8:07establishing the control strategy.
  199. 8:11And then we monitor and update the
  200. 8:13process. This is like a continuous
  201. 8:16process.
  202. 8:17So, we can also summarize by saying what
  203. 8:20is TPP? It outlines a desired profile or
  204. 8:24characteristics of a product.
  205. 8:26It also summarizes the drug development
  206. 8:29program in terms of labeling concept.
  207. 8:33So, what do you ultimately want to see
  208. 8:35in your drug label?
  209. 8:37It's also useful document because it is
  210. 8:40shared with appropriate FDA staff
  211. 8:42and other regulatory agency staff.
  212. 8:45This also allows us to facilitate the
  213. 8:48communication between
  214. 8:50the pharmaceutical industry and
  215. 8:51regulatory staff and also amongst the
  216. 8:55you know, people those are working in
  217. 8:57the pharmaceutical industry. It is also
  218. 8:59helpful for them.
  219. 9:01So, in a way you can say, you know,
  220. 9:03there's back and forth communication
  221. 9:05between the drug development program,
  222. 9:08all the people those are involved in the
  223. 9:09drug development program.
  224. 9:12In this way, the regulatory agency can
  225. 9:15actually kind of take a glimpse into the
  226. 9:17program to see what your end goals are
  227. 9:19and if they think there is something
  228. 9:22that needs a change, they can even
  229. 9:23comment on that.
  230. 9:25Now, this TPP is completely voluntary
  231. 9:27process and also it is dynamic.
  232. 9:31It's going to keep changing over time
  233. 9:34because as and when you get new
  234. 9:36information about the product, you have
  235. 9:37to keep adding into the TPP.
  236. 9:41Because it happens over a period of
  237. 9:43time, you will keep getting some or the
  238. 9:44other information regarding your product
  239. 9:46or the drug.
  240. 9:48The more information you have, the more
  241. 9:50your program might change. That is also
  242. 9:53a thing.
  243. 9:54The FDA has published guidelines that I
  244. 9:57have shown here for industry and it
  245. 10:00outlines what they would like to see in
  246. 10:02a target product profile.
  247. 10:04It is a good tool for drug developers to
  248. 10:06use when they're first putting together
  249. 10:08their TPP. This I have pulled from the
  250. 10:10internet. As you can see, this is the
  251. 10:13published guidelines by the FDA if you
  252. 10:16have to draft your TPP.
  253. 10:19So, the benefits of TPP.
  254. 10:21There are many benefits to having a TPP
  255. 10:24during a drug development process.
  256. 10:27The first benefit is it ensures the
  257. 10:29appropriate safety and efficacy data
  258. 10:32that are generated in order to make
  259. 10:34claims that you want to make.
  260. 10:36So, it's important to really outline in
  261. 10:39the beginning of your drug development
  262. 10:41program what safety and efficacy data
  263. 10:44you need to generate.
  264. 10:46It also identifies possible gaps in the
  265. 10:48drug development program. So, you can
  266. 10:50imagine that if you're outlining what
  267. 10:53data you want to collect, what
  268. 10:55information you want to see, or what
  269. 10:57goal you want to hit,
  270. 11:00it can really highlight some of the gaps
  271. 11:02that you might have.
  272. 11:04And it also helps prioritize resources.
  273. 11:08You use a lot of resources in terms of
  274. 11:10money and manpower in a drug development
  275. 11:12program. So, it is very very essential
  276. 11:15to prioritize those resources. We can
  277. 11:17save lots and lots of money and time and
  278. 11:19also manpower.
  279. 11:22So, having that outlined in TPP, it can
  280. 11:24be very helpful.
  281. 11:26It can minimize the risk of late-stage
  282. 11:29drug development failure.
  283. 11:32And I think part of this has to do with
  284. 11:35it, you know, really outlining what data
  285. 11:38we need to collect and what are our end
  286. 11:41goals. Once we outline that concept,
  287. 11:44obviously, the risk of failures will
  288. 11:46reduce.
  289. 11:48Then, it helps in communication with the
  290. 11:51regulatory team,
  291. 11:52with the industry, and also within the
  292. 11:54industry different departments. It helps
  293. 11:57them communicate.
  294. 12:00Uh
  295. 12:01a TPP must be reviewed and updated
  296. 12:03periodically as and when the new
  297. 12:05information is available.
  298. 12:08So, we cannot say we have one target.
  299. 12:10It's like a moving target because the
  300. 12:13new information will keep pouring and we
  301. 12:15will have to add it to the TPP.
  302. 12:18Especially when there are times of
  303. 12:20really rapid and fast-paced drug
  304. 12:22development.
  305. 12:23In that case, you know, it's okay. Most
  306. 12:25of the drug development teams, they do
  307. 12:27periodic review of the TPP every 6
  308. 12:30month, every 12 month, just to make sure
  309. 12:32everything in TPP is up to date and
  310. 12:36relevant.
  311. 12:38Now, coming to the next concept, that is
  312. 12:40quality target product profile.
  313. 12:44It is a set of elements that defines a
  314. 12:46drug product, same as TPP.
  315. 12:49A target or goal is set in advance,
  316. 12:51again same as TPP.
  317. 12:53It is a guide to drug development
  318. 12:55process program, again as TPP.
  319. 12:58So, we can say it is a tool for setting
  320. 13:00strategy for the drug development taking
  321. 13:02into consideration safety and efficacy
  322. 13:04of the product. So, up till now
  323. 13:07everything is similar between TPP and
  324. 13:09QTPP. Then,
  325. 13:10where does the difference lie?
  326. 13:13B is identification of those attributes
  327. 13:16that are critical to the quality of the
  328. 13:18drug product.
  329. 13:20Taking into consideration intended usage
  330. 13:23and route of administration.
  331. 13:26So, TPP indicates what a drug will do. A
  332. 13:29QTPP indicates the quality targets
  333. 13:32necessary to do it.
  334. 13:35You know, there is somewhere in the
  335. 13:37literature you will find there is
  336. 13:38overlap between TPP and QTPP. But, we
  337. 13:41have to understand what is the main
  338. 13:42difference between both.
  339. 13:44And this table will help you
  340. 13:47identify the main difference. As you can
  341. 13:49see, in target product profile, it
  342. 13:51contains all the information related to
  343. 13:54the drug, even storage, handling
  344. 13:56condition, the patient counseling,
  345. 13:59everything about the drug. Whereas QTPP,
  346. 14:03it contains only data that can affect
  347. 14:05the quality of the product.
  348. 14:08So, that's a difference. If, for
  349. 14:10example, this is like A to Z
  350. 14:13of the product, and this is just few
  351. 14:15alphabets of the product that can affect
  352. 14:17the quality of the product.
  353. 14:20So, these two documents, they are
  354. 14:21routinely used during development.
  355. 14:24However, it's very important to keep in
  356. 14:25mind that TPP focuses on the overall
  357. 14:29program needs.
  358. 14:30So, it constitutes of the entire
  359. 14:33program. Whereas QTPP, it focuses on the
  360. 14:36actual drug product itself.
  361. 14:39Example of QTPP for the topical product.
  362. 14:43This is a case study that we are taking.
  363. 14:45This is how a QTPP look like. As I told
  364. 14:47you, this entire QBD process is
  365. 14:49documentation. So, when we talk about
  366. 14:51TPP, QTPP, obviously, these are also
  367. 14:54documents. So, this is how a QTPP
  368. 14:57document is made.
  369. 14:58It will constitute of drug product
  370. 15:00quality attributes. All these attributes
  371. 15:03that can affect the quality of the drug,
  372. 15:06they are written.
  373. 15:08Then, the target,
  374. 15:09whether they are critical or not, and
  375. 15:11you have to justify the criticality.
  376. 15:15Let's understand it further by taking
  377. 15:18one more case study.
  378. 15:20This is one more research paper that I
  379. 15:22have pulled from the internet in which
  380. 15:24the author has tried to optimize a
  381. 15:27micellar-based in situ gelling system
  382. 15:30using QBD approach.
  383. 15:32So,
  384. 15:33uh this main
  385. 15:35in situ gelling system is used for
  386. 15:38ocular infection, fungal ocular
  387. 15:40infection.
  388. 15:42As you can see over here,
  389. 15:44this is how a QTPP was made for the
  390. 15:48particular
  391. 15:49product.
  392. 15:50So, the route of administration was
  393. 15:52ocular
  394. 15:53because the topical application to the
  395. 15:55targeted tissue. This is a
  396. 15:56justification.
  397. 15:58Then, the next factor, delivery system,
  398. 15:59micellar-based in situ gel. What is the
  399. 16:01justification? Increase the contact time
  400. 16:04of drug delivery system with ocular
  401. 16:06tissue. In the similar manner,
  402. 16:08all the important characteristics that
  403. 16:11can affect the quality of the product,
  404. 16:13they are considered over here. What is
  405. 16:16the target and what is the
