The target product profile sheet (TTP) is a commonly used tool in the biopharmaceutical industry that assists in the strategic decision-making process. It’s designed to help you decide whether to advance a product candidate or drug program. While the TTP is not comprehensive in nature, it focuses on the key elements necessary to make “go, no go” decisions. This session will review a standard TTP and the assumptions underlying the key elements that go into creating a TTP.
