`Attention: Sean Humphrey
`Manager, Regulatory Affairs
`1330 Redwood Way
`Petaluma, CA 94954
`
`
`Dear Mr. Humphrey:
`
`Please refer to your New Drug Application (NDA) dated and received on July 25, 2012,
`submitted under section 505(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) for Jublia
`(efinaconazole) topical solution, 10%.
`
`We acknowledge receipt of your amendments dated August 6, 10, and 20, September 26,
`October 17 and 22, December 6, 7, 14, 19 and 20, 2012; January 9 and 17, March 18 and
`29, December 20, 2013; January 16, February 4, May 16, 23 and 27, June 4, 2014.
`
`The December 20, 2013, submission constituted a complete response to our May 13, 2013,
`action letter.
`
`This new drug application provides for the use of Jublia (efinaconazole) topical solution, 10%
`for the topical treatment of onychomycosis of the toenails due to Trichophyton rubrum and
`Trichophyton mentagrophytes.
`
`We have completed our review of this 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 (text for the package insert, text for the
`patient package insert, and text for the instructions for use). Information on submitting SPL files
`using eLIST may be found in the guidance for industry SPL Standard for Content of Labeling
`Technical Qs and As, available at
`
`Reference ID: 3519795

`
`
`NDA 203567
`Page 2
`
`http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/U
`CM072392.pdf.
`The SPL will be accessible via publicly available labeling repositories.
`
`CARTON AND IMMEDIATE CONTAINER LABELS
`
`Submit final printed carton and immediate container labels that are identical to the enclosed
`carton and immediate container labels as soon as they are available, but no more than 30 days
`after they are printed. Please submit these labels electronically according to the guidance for
`industry Providing Regulatory Submissions in Electronic Format – Human Pharmaceutical
`Product Applications and Related Submissions Using the eCTD Specifications (June 2008).
`Alternatively, you may submit 12 paper copies, with 6 of the copies individually mounted on
`heavy-weight paper or similar material. For administrative purposes, designate this submission
`“Final Printed Carton and Container Labels for approved NDA 203567.” Approval of this
`submission by FDA is not required before the labeling is used.
`
`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.
`
`ADVISORY COMMITTEE
`
`Your application for Jublia (efinaconazole) topical solution, 10% was not referred to an FDA
`advisory committee because the application did not raise significant public health questions on
`the role of the drug in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of a disease.
`
`REQUIRED PEDIATRIC ASSESSMENTS
`
`Under the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA) (21 U.S.C. 355c), all applications for new
`active ingredients, 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(s) in pediatric patients unless this requirement is waived,
`deferred, or inapplicable.
`
`We are waiving the pediatric study requirement for ages 0 years to 11 years, 11 months because
`necessary studies are impossible or highly impracticable. There appears to be few culture
`positive cases of onychomycosis in subjects less than 12 years of age in the general population.
`
`We are deferring submission of your pediatric study for ages 12 to less than 17 years for this
`application because this product is ready for approval for use in adults and the pediatric study has
`not been completed.
`
`Your deferred pediatric study required by section 505B(a) of the FDCA is a required
`postmarketing study. The status of this postmarketing study must be reported annually according
`to 21 CFR 314.81 and section 505B(a)(3)(B) of the FDCA. This required study is listed below.

`Reports of this required pediatric postmarketing study must be submitted as a new drug
`application (NDA) or as a supplement to your approved NDA with the proposed labeling
`changes you believe are warranted based on the data derived from these studies. When
`submitting the reports, please clearly mark your submission "SUBMISSION OF REQUIRED
`PEDIATRIC ASSESSMENTS" in large font, bolded type at the beginning of the cover letter of
`the submission.
`

`MEDWATCH-TO-MANUFACTURER PROGRAM
`
`The MedWatch-to-Manufacturer Program provides manufacturers with copies of serious adverse
`event reports that are received directly by the FDA. New molecular entities and important new
`biologics qualify for inclusion for three years after approval. Your firm is eligible to receive

`improvement. If you would like to have such a meeting with us, call the Regulatory Project
