`
`
`Dear Ms. Suttner:
`
`Please refer to your Supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) dated December 13, 2017,
`received December 13, 2017 submitted under section 505(b)/pursuant to section 505(b)(2) of the
`Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) for Revlimid (lenalidomide) Capsules 2.5, 5,
`10, 15, 20 and 25 mg.
`
`This “Changes Being Effected” supplemental new drug application provides for updated
`Warnings and Precautions text reflecting the observed increased mortality in patients with
`multiple myeloma when pembrolizumab was administered with a thalidomide analogue and
`dexamethasone.
`
`APPROVAL & LABELING
`
`We have completed our review of this supplemental application. It is approved, effective on the
`date of this letter, for use as recommended in the enclosed, agreed-upon labeling text.
`
`We note that your December 13, 2017, submission includes final printed labeling (FPL) for your
`package insert and Medication Guide. We have not reviewed this FPL. You are responsible for
`assuring that the wording in this printed labeling is identical to that of the approved content of
`labeling in the structured product labeling (SPL) format.
`
`WAIVER OF HIGHLIGHTS SECTION
`
`Please note that we have previously granted a waiver of the requirements of 21 CFR
`201.57(d)(8) regarding the length of Highlights of prescribing information.
`
`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
`
`Reference ID: 4201579
`
`
`
`NDA 21880/S-055
`Page 2
`
`
`automated drug registration and listing system (eLIST), as described at
`http://www.fda.gov/ForIndustry/DataStandards/StructuredProductLabeling/default.htm. Content
`of labeling must be identical to the enclosed labeling (text for the package insert and Medication
`Guide), 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 titled
`“SPL Standard for Content of Labeling Technical Qs and As” at
`http://www.fda.gov/downloads/DrugsGuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/U
`CM072392.pdf.
`
`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 MS Word format, that includes the
`changes approved in this supplemental application, as well as annual reportable changes and
`annotate each change. To facilitate review of your submission, 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, 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(s) 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.
`
`All promotional materials that include representations about your drug product must be promptly
`revised to be consistent with the labeling changes approved in this supplement, including any
`new safety information [21 CFR 314.70(a)(4)]. The revisions in your promotional materials
`should include prominent disclosure of the important new safety information that appears in the
`revised package labeling. Within 7 days of receipt of this letter, submit your statement of intent
`to comply with 21 CFR 314.70(a)(4) to the address above, by fax to 301-847-8444, or
`electronically in eCTD format. For more information about submitting promotional materials in
`eCTD format, see the draft guidance for industry (available at:
`http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/U
`CM443702.pdf ).
