Part II, Section P: Drug Product (Finished Product)

Section A: Quality Overall Summary (QOS)

The Quality Overall Summary (QOS) is a summary that follows the scope and the outline of the Body of Data in Module 3. The QOS should not include information, data or justification that was not already included in Module 3 or in other parts of the CTD. The QOS should include sufficient information from each section to provide the Quality reviewer with an overview of Module 3. The QOS should also emphasise critical key parameters of the product and provide, for instance, justification in cases where guidelines were not followed. The QOS should include a discussion of key issues that integrates information from sections in the Quality Module and supporting information from other Modules (e.g. qualification of impurities via toxicological studies discussed under the CTD-S module), including cross-referencing to volume and page number in other Modules. This QOS normally should not exceed 40 pages of text, excluding tables and figures.
