Dear Mr. Gasperlin:

Please refer to your New Drug Application (NDA) dated and received September 14, 2017, and your amendments, submitted pursuant to section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act for the following drug product:

> Efavirenz, Lamivudine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Tablets, 400 mg/300 mg/300 mg

We acknowledge receipt of your amendment dated March 15, 2018, which constituted a complete response to our March 13, 2018, action letter.

We have completed our review of this application, as amended, and have determined that we cannot tentatively approve this application in its present form. We have described our reasons for this action below and, where possible, our recommendations to address these issues.

FACILITY INSPECTIONS

1. During a recent inspection of the Macleods Pharmaceuticals Limited (FEI # 3007517881) manufacturing facility for this NDA, our field investigator observed objectionable conditions at the facility and conveyed that information to the representative of the facility at the close of the inspection. Satisfactory resolution of the observations is required before this NDA may be approved.

PRESCRIBING INFORMATION

2. We reserve comment on the proposed labeling until the application is otherwise adequate. We encourage you to review the labeling review resources on the PLR Requirements for Prescribing Information and Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling Final Rule websites, including regulations and related guidance documents and the Selected Requirements for Prescribing Information (SRPI) — a checklist of important format items from labeling regulations and guidances.

A partial response to this letter will not be processed as a resubmission and will not start a new review cycle.

What happens to the company after a letter like this

A complete response letter moves a timeline, a cash runway and a valuation at once. FuzeBio reads a biotech end to end on demand — the pipeline in plain English, trial design and endpoints, competitors, the cash position, and a valuation with its assumptions on the page. Moderna’s report is open in full, no account.
