`
`Attention: Beth Connelly
`Associate Director, Regulatory Affairs
`
`
`
`Dear Ms. Connelly:
`
`Please refer to your Supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) dated August 10, 2011,
`received August 12, 2011, submitted under section 505(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and
`Cosmetic Act (FDCA) for OxyContin (oxycodone hydrochloride) Controlled-Release Tablets.
`
`This “Prior Approval” sNDA proposes changes to the HIGHLIGHTS and WARNINGS
`
`sections of the Prescribing Information to include language instructing prescribers to use caution
`in patients who have difficulty swallowing or have underlying GI disorders that may predispose
`them to obstruction.
`
`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.
`
`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
`http://www.fda.gov/ForIndustry/DataStandards/StructuredProductLabeling/default.htm. Content
`of labeling must be identical to the enclosed labeling (text for the package insert) 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 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).
`
`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 or by fax to 301-847-8444.
`
`REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
`
`
`We remind you that you must comply with reporting requirements for an approved NDA
`(21 CFR 314.80 and 314.81).

`If you have any questions, call Lisa Basham, Senior Regulatory Health Project Manager, at (301)
