Active Ingredients
• OTC precondition for active ingredient monograph
[21 CFR 330.10(a)(2) VII] An official United States Pharmacopeia (USP)-National Formulary (NF) drug monograph for the active ingredient(s) or botanical drug substance(s), or a proposed standard for inclusion in an article to be recognized in an official USP-NF drug monograph for the active ingredient(s) or botanical drug substance(s).

• Mid-2010 USP 2010-2015 Resolutions 2 (Strengthen Focus on Core Compendial Activities) and 3 (Strengthen Relationship with FDA).
• Oct 2010 Correspondence from Dr. Woodcock to USP on the importance of monograph modernization.
• Nov 2010 FDA task group formed. First priority list (APAP, diphenhydramine, etc).
• Aug 2011, Second FDA list. Additional priority monographs.
• And…by the way… include “products including the ai’s”
USP OTC Monograph Modernization History
5/11/2015
5
Modernization of Monographs Achieved by:
• Replacing outdated procedures (e.g., packed column GC, TLC, wet chemistry tests, etc)
• Adding critical tests to the monograph (e.g., impurities/degradants)
• Deleting non-value added tests, as needed (e.g., odor test, melting point)
• Modernization proposals published in PF for a 90-day comment period
9
Wants and Needs for USP Monograph Modernization
• Public Safety• Unambiguous enforceable specifications• Referee method(s) / surveillance • U.S. scope, participate globally
• Public Standard• Align w/ FDA as much as possible• Broad brush approach• Worldly impact
• High Quality Products • Practical, meaningful, balanced• Requirement clarity, but flexibility • U.S. focused, but worldly scope

FDA on USP’s Monograph Modernization Program:
• The direct participation of the pharmaceutical industry…. is encouraged to assist in providing updated public standards….. the submission of updated analytical methodology… as well as materials which could be used for independent validation….
• FDA encourages all stakeholders to fully support this effort.
11
USP on USP’s Monograph Modernization Program
• USP’s greatest challenge is obtaining updated procedures and acceptance criteria—manufacturers are encouraged to submit proposals to USP

USP OTC Monograph Modernization
• Substance monographs are relatively easy– 140 are in need of modernization
– Separate task force for priority substance updates
– Ex-US USP laboratories HPLC / UPLC methods
USP OTC Monograph Modernization
• Much of the industry sentiment from 2010 persists today
• The FDA OTC monograph system accommodates a large variety of products
• USP activities need to keep-up with OTC industry (flexible and fast to keep pace with seasonal and market driven needs)
• Alternatives needed for publishing methods, updating monographs
• Establish primary USP method and publish additional methods from industry

USP OTC Monograph Modernization
• It’s still big (2600+ monographs to address to begin)
• It’s still complex (grouping like APIs/DPs and using general chapters is part of the solution … but is that enough?)
• It’s still wanted by all, but especially the FDA
• Keep pushing, do it within <the next> 5-year cycle
• Benefits accrue with stakeholder input (3-legged stool, et.al.)

OTC Drug Product Monographs
• Improve the environment for participation– Use of technology for publication
– OTC company direct input according to USP template
• Compromise– Allow multiple ID tests for Products but only require two
– Let industry be the one to propose UPLC
• Work toward incremental change
Benefits and Advantages
• Transparency – Manufacturer selected compliance route which is easily enforced by FDA, etc.
• Broad application• Flexibility for Manufacturers• Assay and Impurities – fast adoption, known path,
low threshold donor model• Easily extended as new actives and products come
into the market

OTC Project Team
• Charge
The purpose is to enhance interaction between stakeholders and USP regarding the process and framework for modernization
• Consider and provide feedback on the proposed USP OTC monograph and General Chapter approach, and suggest other new or novel approaches (i.e. FDA guidance).
• Advise USP on strategy for development and prioritization of monograph revisions.
• Consider communication of OTC-related initiatives to industry, regulatory, and other stakeholders.
• Work with FDA and counsel to develop a better understanding of the legal requirements, goals and flexibility that the agency is willing to consider while modernizing the USP OTC drug substance and drug product monographs
