`
`REMARKS: The Re-submitted NDA 22-255 (October 16, 2009) is intended to
`be a full response to the FDA’s complete response letter dated October 28, 2008.
`Although there were no microbiology product quality deficiencies in the original
`submission, the re-submission is being reviewed due to changes made
`
`. During the review of the Lacosamide oral solution application
`in Europe, the EMEA requested the removal of
` from the
`formulation (June 2008). For consistency, it was also removed from the proposed
`US formulation. Therefore, in the re-submission, the reformulation of the oral
`syrup Lacosamide (SPM927) includes removal of
` and a change in
` level. The re-submission is in electronic format in EDR. Initial
`Quality Assessment has been filed by Martha Heinman on October 30, 2007. No
`IQA was filed for the re-submission.
