`SUPPLEMENT PROVIDES FOR: ELIQUIS™ (apixaban) 2.5 and 5 mg film coated tablets are
`currently manufactured and released tested by BMS of Humacao, PR and BMS of Mt. Vernon, IN.
`The approved packaging sites are BMS of Mt. Vernon (blisters and bottles), BMS of Frosinone, Italy
`(blisters and bottles) and
`. This supplement provides for the
`addition of the BMS site in Humacao, PR as an additional packaging site for the drug product
`(bottles only). There are no other changes are included in this supplement. No additional
`information is provided to support this change.
`
`CONSULT:
`
`SUPPORTIVE DOCUMENT: None
`
`CONCLUSION: While SUPAC-IR does not address the addition of a new packaging site, according
`to the FDA Guidance for Industry Container Closure Systems for Packaging Human Drugs and
`Biologics, Oral Tablets and Capsules are of low packaging concern as the likelihood of packaging
`components interacting with the packaging is low. Moreover, because the container closure system has
`proven to be suitable for the intended use and the proposed site is currently approved for
`manufacturing, packaging and testing the drug product, the reviewer is confident that the risks
`associated with the addition of the Humacao, PR as a drug product packaging site are insignificant.
`Accordingly, the applicant has provided adequate information to support the addition of BMS of
`Humacao, PR as an additional packaging site for ELIQUIS™ (apixaban) 2.5 and 5 mg film coated
`tablets. The applicant was asked to commit to placing one batch of each strength of the drug product
`packaged at the new site on stability. The applicant responded affirmatively and indicated that the
`results would be reported in the NDA annual report. Accordingly, we recommend that this application
`be APPROVED.

`
`0h, ok.
`
`I didn't catch that either.
`
`202155 can remain a CBE-30 if the site is in good standing. It is an immediate release product so it can be
`a CBE.
