`
`
`Dear Mr. Truong:
`
`Please refer to your Supplemental New Drug Applications (sNDA) dated August 24 and October
`23, 2018, received August 24 and October 23, 2018, and your amendments, submitted under
`section 505(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) for Xarelto (rivaroxaban)
`tablets, 2.5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, and 20 mg.
`
`These “Changes Being Effected” supplemental new drug applications provide for a revision to
`Section 6.2 of the package insert to include a drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic
`symptoms (DRESS) (S-030), and revisions to the package insert to align with an efficacy
`supplement recently approved in the Division of Cardiovascular and Renal Products (S-032).
`
`APPROVAL & LABELING
`
`We have completed our review of these supplemental applications, as amended. They are
`approved, effective on the date of this letter, for use as recommended in the enclosed, agreed-
`upon labeling text.
`
`WAIVER OF ½ PAGE LENGTH REQUIREMENT FOR HIGHLIGHTS
`
`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
`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 Prescribing Information and
`
`Reference ID: 4376293

`
`
`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 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.
`
`PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS
`
`You may request advisory comments on proposed introductory advertising and promotional
`labeling. To do so, submit the following, in triplicate, (1) a cover letter requesting advisory
`comments, (2) the proposed materials in draft or mock-up form with annotated references, and
