`
`
`
` 1 GOAL
`
`The goal of this REMS is to communicate the risks of VIMPAT.
`
`2 REMS ELEMENTS
` 2.1. Medication Guide
`
`A Medication Guide will be dispensed with each VIMPAT prescription. UCB will assure
`that Medication Guides are provided with each order in sufficient quantity to assure that a
`Medication Guide is available at the time of dispensing to the patient. As printed materials,
`Medication Guides will be controlled using appropriate techniques (i.e. barcoding) to assure
`that the correct Medication Guide is provided with each product order that UCB fills.
`
` The container labeling for the product will contain prominent and conspicuous instruction to
`authorized dispensers to provide a Medication Guide to each patient to whom the product is
`dispensed. In addition, the Medication Guide will be publicly available on the VIMPAT
`product website, www.vimpat.com.
`
`
`
`2.2. Communication Plan
` The VIMPAT REMS does not include a Communication Plan.
`
`
`
` 2.3. Elements to Assure Safe Use
`
`The VIMPAT REMS does not include Elements to Assure Safe Use.
`
`
`Implementation System
`2.4.
`The VIMPAT REMS does not include Elements to Assure Safe Use, therefore no
`Implementation System is required.
`
`
`2.5. Timetable for Submission of REMS Assessments
`The Sponsor will submit REMS assessments to the FDA 18 months, 3 years, and 7 years
`from the date of original approval of the REMS (28 April 2010, 28 October 2011 and 28
`October 2015, respectively). To facilitate inclusion of as much information as possible while
`allowing reasonable time to prepare the submission, the reporting interval covered by each
`assessment should conclude no earlier than 60 days before the submission date for that
`assessment. UCB will submit each assessment so that it will be received by the FDA on or
`before the due date.
