The Consultant Connection features unique solutions designed for consultants to help you and your client be more productive and successful.

Scientific Feature: Target Product Profile

As a consultant, your expertise is called upon to provide strategic insight. We can work with you to add another asset to your toolkit: a Target Product Profile. As a planning tool, a Target Product Profile can drive the vision for your client’s drug development journey ahead.

Considered a working document, the Target Product Profile outlines a product’s ideal properties and long-term goals to advance your client’s molecule more effectively. Let us help you accelerate your client’s process by:

Setting up a solid foundation
By defining the profile of your client’s final marketed product, you’ll help them determine which studies are most effective and reveal key assets—earlier in development. Whether selling the compound or guiding it through a clinical trial, the Target Product Profile can serve as the valuable starting point.
Optimizing product labeling
When you identify desired labeling claims, you’ll illuminate specific clinical endpoints that support measurement goals. With this information at the ready, your client will be well supported for reviews across several regulatory agencies.
Building a commercial story
Success in the market requires validated evidence to demonstrate how your client’s product differentiates against competitors. A Target Product Profile can also estimate market potential and build confidence with investors and stakeholders.
Enabling earlier decision making
The comprehensive nature of the Target Product Profile enables continuity between nonclinical, clinical, regulatory and economic leaders. Aligning these parties earlier in the process streamlines communication and leads to more productive decision making, before essential resources are allocated.

Take your client’s molecule farther with our multidisciplinary team that can include commercial, clinical, regulatory, CMC and nonclinical expertise, based on your team’s needs. We’re ready to help you solidify your client’s focus and add value to their drug development journey.

How We Help You Develop a Robust Target Product Profile

Consultants are increasingly taking advantage of outsourcing partnerships to support their clients through specific challenges. At Covance, we provide a unique combination of scientific, regulatory and operational support to extend your own expertise as we develop your client’s Target Product Profile.

The process starts with determining your client’s specific needs and bringing together the right experts. You and the client’s team are closely involved to fully support the creation of the Target Product Profile and develop downstream iterations of the working document. Together, we work collaboratively to fully define your client’s product, from the safety profile of the compound to the value proposition across global markets.

Throughout the development, our job is to make you shine in the eyes of the client. As the Target Product Profile evolves with the program, you’ll continue to help guide your client’s strategic direction and facilitate more effective communication between parties, toward the shared goal of a stronger product in the market.
