`
`Attention:
`
`Alexis Williams, PharmD
`Global Regulatory Strategy & CMC Manager
`
`Dear Dr. Williams:
`
`Please refer to your supplemental new drug application (sNDA) dated and received
`November 1, 2022, submitted under section 505(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and
`Cosmetic Act (FDCA) for Suboxone (buprenorphine and naloxone) sublingual film.
`
`This Changes Being Effected sNDA provides for proposed modifications to the
`approved Buprenorphine Transmucosal Products for Opioid Dependence (BTOD) risk
`evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS).
`
`We have completed our review of this supplemental application. It is approved, effective
`on the date of this letter.
`
`RISK EVALUATION AND MITIGATION STRATEGY (REMS) REQUIREMENTS
`
`The Shared System (SS) REMS for BTOD products, of which Suboxone is a member,
`was originally approved on February 22, 2013, and the most recent REMS modification
`was approved on May 3, 2022. The SS REMS consists of Medication Guide, elements
`to assure safe use, an implementation system, and a timetable for submission of
`assessments of the REMS.
`
`Your proposed modification to the REMS consists of the following:
`a. removing the “Sponsor Login” footer from the lower right corner of the landing
`pages on the website since they are no longer needed,
`b. updating the “Last Updated” notation on materials to align with the May 2022
`REMS modification approval, and
`c. replacing the manufacturer-specific Prescribing Information and Medication
`Guide information on the website with blank tables to be filled in with the
`appropriate information as Applicants join and/or are removed from the BTOD
`REMS.
`
`Your proposed modified REMS, submitted to Drug Master File (DMF)
`October 28, 2022, and appended to this letter, is approved.

`Page 2
`
`This shared system REMS, known as the BTOD REMS, currently includes products
`listed on the FDA REMS website1.
`
`Other products may be added in the future if additional NDAs or ANDAs are approved.
`
`The timetable for submission of assessments of the REMS remains the same as that
`approved on May 3, 2022.
`
`There are no changes to the REMS assessment plan described in our May 3, 2022,
`letter.
`
`We remind you that in addition to the REMS assessments submitted according to the
`timetable in the approved REMS, you must include an adequate rationale to support a
`proposed REMS modification for the addition, modification, or removal of any goal or
`element of the REMS, as described in section 505-1(g)(4) of the FDCA.
`
`We also remind you that you must submit a REMS assessment when you submit a
`supplemental application for a new indication for use, as described in section 505-
`1(g)(2)(A) of the FDCA. This assessment should include:
`
`a) An evaluation of how the benefit-risk profile will or will not change with the
`new indication;
`
`b) A determination of the implications of a change in the benefit-risk profile for
`the current REMS;
`
`c) If the new indication for use introduces unexpected risks: A description of
`those risks and an evaluation of whether those risks can be appropriately
`managed with the currently approved REMS.
`
`d) If a REMS assessment was submitted in the 18 months prior to submission of
`the supplemental application for a new indication for use: A statement about
`whether the REMS was meeting its goals at the time of that last assessment
`and if any modifications of the REMS have been proposed since that
`assessment.
`
`e) If a REMS assessment has not been submitted in the 18 months prior to
`submission of the supplemental application for a new indication for use:
`Provision of as many of the currently listed assessment plan items as is
`feasible.

`
`If you propose a REMS modification based on a change in the benefit-risk
`profile or because of the new indication of use, submit an adequate rationale
`to support the modification, including: Provision of the reason(s) why the
`proposed REMS modification is necessary, the potential effect on the serious
`risk(s) for which the REMS was required, on patient access to the drug,
`and/or on the burden on the health care delivery system; and other
`appropriate evidence or data to support the proposed change. Additionally,
`include any changes to the assessment plan necessary to assess the
`proposed modified REMS. If you are not proposing REMS modifications,
`provide a rationale for why the REMS does not need to be modified.
`
`If the assessment instruments and methodology for your REMS assessments are not
`included in the REMS supporting document, or if you propose changes to the submitted
`assessment instruments or methodology, you should update the REMS supporting
`document to include specific assessment instrument and methodology information at
`least 90 days before the assessments will be conducted. Updates to the REMS
`supporting document may be included in a new document that references previous
`REMS supporting document submission(s) for unchanged portions. Alternatively,
`updates may be made by modifying the complete previous REMS supporting document,
`with all changes marked and highlighted.
`
`Prominently identify the submission containing the assessment instruments and
`methodology with the following wording in bold capital letters at the top of the first page

`
`An authorized generic drug under this NDA must have an approved REMS prior to
`marketing. Should you decide to market, sell, or distribute an authorized generic drug
`under this NDA, contact us to discuss what will be required in the authorized generic
`drug REMS submission.
`
`We remind you that section 505-1(f)(8) of FDCA prohibits holders of an approved
`covered application with elements to assure safe use from using any element to block
`or delay approval of an application under section 505(b)(2) or (j). A violation of this
`provision in 505-1(f) could result in enforcement action.

`require the submission of a request to remove patent information from the Orange Book
`are submitted to FDA at the time of approval of the supplement pursuant to 21 CFR
