`
`SUPPLEMENT APPROVAL
`
`
`
`
` Dear Ms. Hoos:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Please refer to your Supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) dated and received August 7,
`
`
`2015, and your amendments, submitted under section 505(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and
`
`
`Cosmetic Act (FDCA) for Vimovo (naproxen/esomeprazole magnesium) Delayed Release
`
`Tablets, 375 mg/20 mg and 500 mg/20 mg.
`
`
`
`
`We also refer to our letter dated July 9, 2015, notifying you, under Section 505(o)(4) of the
`
`
`
`FDCA, of new safety information that we believe should be included in the labeling for the class
`
`
`
`of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). This information pertains to the risk of
`
`Cardiovascular Thrombotic Events and Heart Failure and Edema.
`
`
`
`
`This supplemental new drug application provides for the Safety Labeling Changes required
`
`
`under Section 505(o)(4) of the FDCA, consistent with our July 9, 2015, letter.
`
` APPROVAL & LABELING
`
`
`
`
`
`We have completed our review of this supplemental application, as amended. 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 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

`
` CM072392.pdf
`
` The SPL will be accessible from publicly available labeling repositories.
`
`
`
`
`Also within 14 days, amend all pending supplemental applications that includes 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 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).
`
`
`Marketing the product(s) with FPL that is not identical to the approved labeling text may render
`
`the product misbranded and an unapproved new drug.
