Welcome to Module 2: Target Product Profile
The first stage of any project should be to determine your existing knowledge, your resources, your goals, and your strategy. When repurposing a drug, this strategic planning is crucial to success. A good plan will allow you to remain focused on your desired outcome – a new and accessible treatment for a condition that delivers meaningful patient benefit.
The learning objectives of this module are to:
- Learn about the key tools that guide your strategic approach to repurposing – the Target Product Profile and the Repurposing Development Plan.
- Gain an understanding on the types of data that could help the repurposing process, along with suggestions for sourcing this information.
- Gain an understanding on how to consider the needs of your beneficiary patient population. How do you discover the true needs of the patient population, and how can this shape your repurposing strategy?
- Understand how to bring together all the available information to constitute a market-worthy Target Product Profile, and a strategy to develop the product it describes.
