`
`Dear Ms. Palumbo:
`
`Please refer to your supplemental new drug application dated March 28, 2005, received March 29,
`2005, submitted under section 505(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act for Iressa
`(gefitinib) Tablets.
`
`We acknowledge receipt of your submissions dated May 24 and 25; and June 9, 2005.
`
`This supplemental new drug application provides for revised labeling. Specifically, this labeling
`includes revisions to the CLINICAL STUDIES and INDICATIONS AND USAGE sections to reflect
`the results of Trial 709 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which failed to demonstrate an
`increase in survival.
`
`We have completed our review of this application, as amended. This application is approved, effective
`on the date of this letter, for use as recommended in the enclosed agreed-upon labeling text.
`
`The final printed labeling (FPL) must be identical to the enclosed labeling (text for the package insert).
`
`Please submit an electronic version of the FPL according to the guidance for industry titled Providing
`Regulatory Submissions in Electronic Format - NDA. Alternatively, you may submit 20 paper copies
`of the FPL as soon as it is available but no more than 30 days after it is printed. Individually mount 15
`of the copies on heavy-weight paper or similar material. For administrative purposes, designate this
`submission "FPL for approved supplement NDA 21-399/S-008.” Approval of this submission by
`FDA is not required before the labeling is used.
