`
`
`
`
`Dear Ms. Thompson:
`
`
`
`
`
`Please refer to your Supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) dated and received on
`
`
`January 16, 2015, submitted under section 505(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
`
`
`(FDCA) for Saxenda (liraglutide [rDNA origin] injection).
`
`
`
`
`
`
`We acknowledge receipt of your amendment dated March 18, 2015, containing labeling.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`This “Changes Being Effected” supplemental new drug application provides for modification of
`
`the Highlights section of the package insert to revise the “Initial U.S. Approval” date from 2014
`
`to 2010.
`
` 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 (text for the package insert), 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
`
`

`
` 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).
`
`
`REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
`
`We remind you that you must comply with reporting requirements for an approved NDA
`
`
`
