`Attention: Robert Ashworth
`Senior Vice President, Regulatory Affairs

`
`
`Dear Mr. Ashworth:
`
`Please refer to your Supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) dated April 12, 2018, received
`April 12, 2018, and your amendments, submitted pursuant to section 505(b)(2) of the Federal
`Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) for Bendeka® (bendamustine hydrochloride) Injection
`100 mg/4 mL (25 mg/mL).
`
`This “Changes Being Effected” supplemental new drug application provides for revisions to the
`US prescribing information (USPI) in Section 8, Use in Specific Populations; and Section 12.3,
`Pharmacokinetics, in which the revisions are related to information regarding patient populations
`with renal or hepatic impairment to align with changes made to the listed drug (LD), Treanda®.
`
`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.
`
`WAIVER OF HIGHLIGHTS SECTION
`
`We are waiving the requirements of 21 CFR 201.57(d)(8) regarding the length of Highlights of
`prescribing information. This waiver applies to all future supplements containing revised
`labeling unless we notify you otherwise.
`
`
`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
`
`Reference ID: 4299048
`
`

`

`NDA 208194/S-013

`
`
`of labeling must be identical to the enclosed labeling (text for the prescribing information), 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
`http://www.fda.gov/downloads/DrugsGuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/U
`CM072392.pdf.
`
`The SPL will be accessible from publicly available labeling repositories.
`
`Also within 14 days, amend all pending supplemental applications that include 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).
`
`REQUIRED PEDIATRIC ASSESSMENTS
`
`Under the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA) (21 U.S.C. 355c), all applications for new
`active ingredients (which includes new salts and new fixed combinations), 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 in pediatric
`patients unless this requirement is waived, deferred, or inapplicable.
`
`Because none of these criteria apply to your application, you are exempt from this requirement.

`You may request advisory comments on proposed introductory advertising and promotional
`labeling. To do so, submit the following, in triplicate, (1) a cover letter requesting advisory
`comments, (2) the proposed materials in draft or mock-up form with annotated references, and
