`
`
`CONTENT OF LABELING
`
` As soon as possible, but no later than 14 days from the date of this letter, submit the
`
`content of labeling [21 CFR 314.50(l)] in structured product labeling (SPL) format using
`the FDA automated drug registration and listing system (eLIST), as described at
`FDA.gov.1 Content of labeling must be identical to the enclosed labeling, (text for the
`Prescribing Information), with the addition of any labeling changes in pending “Changes
`Being Effected” (CBE) supplements, as well as annual reportable changes not included
`
`in the enclosed labeling.
`
`Information on submitting SPL files using eList may be found in the guidance for
`industry SPL Standard for Content of Labeling Technical Qs and As.2
`
`
`The SPL will be accessible from publicly available labeling repositories.
`
`Also within 14 days, amend all pending supplemental applications that include labeling
`changes for this NDA, including CBE supplements for which FDA has not yet issued an
`action letter, with the content of labeling [21 CFR 314.50(l)(1)(i)] in Microsoft Word
`format, that includes the changes approved in this supplemental application, as well as
`annual reportable changes. To facilitate review of your submission(s), provide a
`highlighted or marked-up copy that shows all changes, as well as a clean Microsoft
`Word version. The marked-up copy should provide appropriate annotations, including
`supplement number(s) and annual report date(s).
`
`
`REQUIRED PEDIATRIC ASSESSMENTS
`
`Under the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA) (21 U.S.C. 355c), all applications for
`new active ingredients (which includes new salts and new fixed combinations), new
`indications, new dosage forms, new dosing regimens, or new routes of administration
`are required to contain an assessment of the safety and effectiveness of the product for
`the claimed indication in pediatric patients unless this requirement is waived, deferred,
`or inapplicable.
`
`Because none of these criteria apply to your application, you are exempt from this
`requirement.
`
`
`REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
`
`We remind you that you must comply with reporting requirements for an approved NDA
`(21 CFR 314.80 and 314.81).
