c/o Lachman Consultant Services Inc. Attention: Jennifer Leaming, MSRA, RAC US Agent; Principal Consultant

Dear Jennifer Leaming:
Please refer to your new drug application (NDA) oe

We acknowledge receipt of your amendment dated which constituted a
complete response to our July 25, 2024, 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.
CLINICAL
The proposed risk mitigation strategies of the minor numerical adjustments to the original strengths and your nomenclature proposal to include oe

are not acceptable to allow for the safe use of for
the proposed indications.
As discussed at the oe the proposed numerical adjustment of strengths oe
alone cannot sufficiently mitigate the risk of medication errors. At that time, we encouraged consideration of the proposed slight change in strength (as a mitigation strategy to eliminate the direct numerical overlap in strength between | and the proposed |) be used in tandem with a nomenclature strategy.
As stated in our CR letter dated July 25, 2024, label comprehension studies that evaluated adding the descriptor!) after! (dasatinib tablets)” failed, and there is no evidence that your newly proposed nomenclature would result in different findings. Furthermore, we are concerned that your proposed nonproprietary

name oe is similar to nomenclature policy for biological products (b) (4)
licensed
Thus, we are concerned that your proposed nomenclature would create confusion and would not have the intended effect of mitigating the risk of medication errors associated with switching between your proposed dasatinib product and an approved dasatinib product and safe treatment initiation with your proposed dasatinib product.
Below are two possible actions that you may consider to place your application in condition for approval:
1. You may consider conducting new labeling comprehension studies with the currently proposed numerical adjustment of strengths oe ® and modified labeling (including a boxed warning and additional information in dosage and administration) to determine if these strategies are able to mitigate the risks of medication errors.
2. You also may consider reformulating your product so that there will be either:
a. identical strengths that are mg-to-mg equivalent to the listed drug relied
upon, or b. greater differences between the proposed! strengths from) (e.g., instead of oo where the slight difference in numerical
strength may not prevent inadvertent wrong substitution with
©, You could do this by reformulating! "so its strengths would result in numerically nonoverlapping or not close to overlapping strengths of the listed drug relied upon.
If you choose to reformulate your product under option a or b above, you will need to conduct studies with the new strengths to show their equivalence to the listed drug relied upon.
We recommend that you request a meeting with the Agency to discuss your plans on reformulation, the design of any new label comprehension studies, or another proposed approach that would allow for the safe use of © for the proposed indications.
