The full form of NTP in the pharmaceutical context is most commonly New Therapeutic Product.
While NTP can stand for "Normal Temperature and Pressure" in scientific contexts, in the pharmaceutical industry, it usually refers to a new medicinal product. This can include:
- A new chemical entity (NCE) or new biological entity (NBE).
- A new formulation of an existing drug.
- A new combination of existing drugs.
- A new route of administration for an existing drug.
Therefore, when discussing NTP within a pharmaceutical context, it almost always implies a New Therapeutic Product that requires regulatory review and approval before it can be marketed.
