AuroMedics Pharma LLC Attention: Vincent P. Andolina Vice President, Regulatory Affairs 279 Princeton-Hightstown Road East Windsor, NJ 08520
Dear Mr. Andolina:
Please refer to your New Drug Application (NDA) dated July 21, 2018, received July 23, 2018, and your amendments, submitted pursuant to section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act for Cyclophosphamide Solution, 500 mg/2.5 mL and 1 g/5 mL.
We acknowledge receipt of your amendment dated July 30, 2018, July 31, 2018, August 1, 2018, and August 10, 2018, which constituted a complete response to our April 26, 2018, action letter.
We have completed our review of this application, as amended, and have determined that we cannot 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.
PRODUCT QUALITY
1. In the resubmission, the presence of visible particles at the 24-month timepoint for the 1 lg configuration is reported that you attribute to The observed particles could be present but not detected at release and at earlier stability timepoints due to inadequate inspection procedure. Provide the following information to demonstrate that this issue has been satisfactorily resolved:
a) Detailed analytical procedures for the proposed and the original inspection methods for visible particulate matter in English. Identify the differences between these two methods and provide evidence to demonstrate that the detection capability of the proposed method is sufficient to detect all the visible particulate matter in the filled vials.
b) Any non-compliant observations or results from 100% visual inspection of the filled placebo (trial batch FE-17-005) and drug product vials manufactured with aa ©® should be included. In CAPA-16-015 you indicate tha |
after filling one Cyclophosphamide Placebo batch. This indicates that there

are quality issues with © The rejected vials were found to contain particles oo]
. Propose your approach to resolve this issue and demonstrate that visible particulate matter will not be an issue for the proposed commercial product.
c) Acopy of CAPA-15-006. d) Results of investigations on stoppers as a possible source of visible particles.
e) Status and results of the corrective and preventive actions you proposed on Page 28 - 30 of the quality event report Req-16-117, req-16-119, req-16-123 in the amendment dated 12/13/2017 (Sequence 0007).
f) Data to demonstrate that visible particles are not observed for the 500 mg configuration. If the results show that 500 mg strength vials do not have visible particulates, provide your rationale for the observation an aed tification of not manufacturing three registration batches using If visible particulates were observed for the 500 mg configuration, see 2(a) below.
Based on the information you provided, we determined that the detection capability of the original inspection method for visible particulate matter is not sufficient to detect all the particulate matter in the stability and batch release samples, which made the release and stability data for visible particulate matter at time 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18 months invalid. Since all three registration batches for the 1 g configuration, 000663, 000664 and 000665, failed the visible particulate matter test, you should:
a. Manufacture three new registration batches for the 1 g strength as well as the 500 mg strength (if visible particulates are not observed, see 1(f) above) with aa which is compatible with the drug product and provide adequate batch release and stability data as recommended in ICH Q1A. Provide the executed batch records and revised master batch records.
b. If stoppers are potential source of visible particles, the registration batches should be manufactured using the new stopper that will not cause particulates in the filled vials (see 2(a) above). Ifa change to the stopper is proposed and the proposed stopper dimensions do not significantly overlap with or fall within the critical (i.e., at the stopper/vial interface) dimensions of the previously validated stopper, then container- closure integrity validation data should be provided for the proposed container closure system. A change in the stopper should be supported. oe
validation information or a Letter or Authorization (LOA) authorizing access to the Agency to review the associated DMF for the processes used by the manufacturer of the rubber stoppers.
c. Inspect! after each batch and provide pictures of the OM filling operation. Note any) deterioration or leak and take appropriate action (e.g., © replacement).

3. Revise the quantitative statement of the immediate container and carton labels to include the amount of dehydrated alcohol, as described in Section 11 of the Package Insert.
FACILITY INSPECTIONS
During a recent inspection of the © manufacturing facility for this application, our field investigator conveyed deficiencies to the representative of the facility. Satisfactory resolution of these deficiencies is required before this application may be approved.
PRESCRIBING INFORMATION
We reserve comment on the proposed labeling until the application is otherwise adequate. Upon resubmission of your application, you must submit a revised proposed label that is current with any revisions in the reference listed drug. 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.
If you revise labeling, use the SRPI checklist to ensure that the prescribing information conforms with format items in regulations and guidances. Your response must include updated content of labeling [21 CFR 314.50(1)(1)(i)] in structured product labeling (SPL) format as described at http://www. fda.gov/ForIndustry/DataS tandards/StructuredProductLabeling/default.htm.
CARTON AND CONTAINER LABELING
Submit draft carton and container labeling with your resubmission. We reserve comment on the proposed labeling until the application is otherwise adequate.
SAFETY UPDATE
When you respond to the above deficiencies, include a safety update as described at
21 CFR 314.50(d)(5)(vi)(b). The safety update should include data from all nonclinical and clinical studies/trials of the drug under consideration regardless of indication, dosage form, or dose level.
1. Describe in detail any significant changes or findings in the safety profile.
2. When assembling the sections describing discontinuations due to adverse events, serious adverse events, and common adverse events, incorporate new safety data as follows:
e Present new safety data from the studies/clinical trials for the proposed indication using the same format as in the original submission.
Reference ID: 4376130
NDA 210735 Page 4
¢ Present tabulations of the new safety data combined with the original application data.
e Include tables that compare frequencies of adverse events in the original application with the retabulated frequencies described in the bullet above.
e For indications other than the proposed indication, provide separate tables for the frequencies of adverse events occurring in clinical trials.
3. Present a retabulation of the reasons for premature trial discontinuation by incorporating the drop-outs from the newly completed trials. Describe any new trends or patterns identified.
4. Provide case report forms and narrative summaries for each patient who died during a clinical trial or who did not complete a trial because of an adverse event. In addition, provide narrative summaries for serious adverse events.
5. Describe any information that suggests a substantial change in the incidence of common, but less serious, adverse events between the new data and the original application data.
6. Provide updated exposure information for the clinical studies/trials (e.g., number of subjects, person time).
7. Provide a summary of worldwide experience on the safety of this drug. Include an updated estimate of use for drug marketed in other countries.
8. Provide English translations of current approved foreign labeling not previously submitted.
