MEDICATION GUIDE

Add the following bolded statement or appropriate alternative to the carton and container labeling per 21 CFR 208.24(d): "ATTENTION PHARMACIST: Each patient is required to receive the enclosed Medication Guide."

RISK EVALUATION AND MITIGATION STRATEGY REQUIREMENTS

Section 505-1 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) authorizes FDA to require the submission of a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) if FDA determines that such a strategy is necessary to ensure that the benefits of the drug outweigh the risks [section 505-1 (a)].

In accordance with section 505-1 of the FDCA, we have determined that a REMS is necessary for |") to ensure that the benefits of the drug outweigh the risks of accidental overdose, misuse, and abuse. Your application cannot be approved without a REMS; therefore, you must include your proposed REMS as part of your response to the deficiencies cited in this letter.

Your proposed REMS must include the following:

Medication Guide: As one element of a REMS, FDA may require the development of a Medication Guide as provided for under 21 CFR 208. Pursuant to 21 CFR 208, FDA has determined that |") poses a serious and significant public health concern requiring the distribution of a Medication Guide. The Medication Guide is necessary for patients’ safe and effective use of |/—I). FDA has determined that (PW is a product that has serious risks (relative to benefits) of which patients should be made aware because information concerning the risks could affect patients’ decisions to use or continue to use |)", and that the drug product is important to health and patient adherence to directions for use is crucial to the drug’s effectiveness. Under section 505-1 of the FDCA, FDA has also determined that a Medication Guide is

U.S. Food and Drug Administration Silver Spring, MD 20993 www.fda.gov

Reference ID: 5717249

NDA 220184 Page 18

necessary to ensure the benefits of the drug outweigh the risks accidental overdose, misuse, and abuse.

Under 21 CFR 208, you are responsible for ensuring that the Medication Guide is available for distribution to patients who are dispensed .

In addition, under 21 CFR 208.24(d), you are responsible for ensuring that the label of each container or package includes a prominent and conspicuous instruction to authorized dispensers to provide a Medication Guide to each patient to whom the drug is dispensed, and states how the Medication Guide is provided. You should submit marked up carton and container labels for all strengths and formulations with the required statement alerting the dispenser to provide the Medication Guide. We recommend one of the following two statements, depending upon whether the Medication Guide accompanies the product or is enclosed in the carton:

e “Dispense the enclosed Medication Guide to each patient.” e “Dispense the accompanying Medication Guide to each patient.”

Elements to Assure Safe Use: Pursuant to 505-1(f)(1), we have also determined that elements to assure safe use are necessary to mitigate the serious risks of accidental overdose, misuse, and abuse listed in the labeling of the drug. In addition, we have determined that a Medication Guide and a communication plan are not sufficient to mitigate these serious risks.

Your REMS must include elements to mitigate these risks, including at least the following:

e The drug is dispensed to patients with evidence or other documentation of safe- use conditions e Each patient using the drug is subject to certain monitoring

Implementation System: The REMS must include an implementation system to monitor, evaluate, and work to improve the implementation of the elements to assure safe use (outlined above) that require the drug be dispensed to patients with documentation of safe use conditions. The implementation system must include mechanism(s) to provide access to REMS materials such as a website or call center, maintenance of records, and plans for monitoring for and addressing noncompliance.

Timetable for Submission of Assessments: The proposed REMS must include a timetable for submission of assessments that shall be no less frequent than 12 months from Om) , and annually thereafter. To facilitate inclusion of as much information as possible while allowing reasonable time to prepare the submission, the reporting interval covered by each assessment should conclude no earlier than 60 calendar days before the submission date for that assessment. For example, the

U.S. Food and Drug Administration Silver Spring, MD 20993 www.fda.gov

Reference ID: 5717249

NDA 220184 Page 19

reporting interval covered by an assessment that is to be submitted by July 31st should conclude no earlier than June 1st.

Your proposed REMS submission should include two parts: a REMS (REMS document and REMS materials) and a REMS supporting document. Additionally, all relevant proposed REMS materials including educational and communication materials should be appended to the proposed REMS. The REMS supporting document should expand on information in the REMS document, and provide additional information about the REMS, such as the rationale for and supporting information about the design, implementation, and plan for REMS assessment. A REMS document template and instructions for use can be found in the draft guidance for industry Format and Content of a REMS Document.'4

Once FDA finds the content acceptable and determines that the application can be approved, we will include the REMS document and REMS materials as an attachment to the approval letter. The REMS, once approved, will create enforceable obligations.

For administrative purposes, designate the proposed REMS submission as “PROPOSED REMS for NDA 220184.” and all subsequent submissions related to the proposed REMS as “PROPOSED REMS for NDA 220184 -AMENDMENT.”

To facilitate review of your submission, we request that you submit your proposed modified REMS and other REMS-related materials in Microsoft Word format. If certain documents, such as enrollment forms or website screenshots, are available only in PDF format, they may be submitted as such, but Word format is preferred.
