The CAD is expected to convey a thorough and critical assessment of the sponsor’s knowledge of all such characteristics, including a comprehensive literature review specifically addressing carcinogenicity risk. Examples of such data sources include the following: Æ Prior experience with other molecules in the drug class Æ Experience with human genetic polymorphisms in the target or pathway Æ Clinical trial data Æ Genetically engineered rodent models Æ Unintended pharmacology Æ Hormonal perturbation Æ Targeted tissue genomic biomarker measurements • Genetic Toxicology Study Results The criteria in ICH S2(R1) 3 will be used to evaluate genetic toxicology data using a weight-of-evidence approach. • Histopathologic Evaluation of Repeated-Dose Rat Toxicology Studies Histopathologic risk factors of neoplasia should be evaluated in the 6month chronic rat study. Findings seen only in shorter-term repeated dose rat toxicity studies are generally considered of less value for 2-year rat study outcome prediction, but should be addressed. Histopathologic findings of particular interest include cellular hypertrophy, diffuse and/or focal cellular hyperplasia, persistent tissue injury and/or chronic inflammation, preneoplastic changes, and tumors. It is important to note that liver tumors are observed at relatively high frequency in the rat, sometimes with Leydig cell and thyroid follicular cell tumors. Hepatocellular hypertrophy associated with increased liver weight often results from hepatic enzyme induction, the latter being a well-understood mechanism of rodent specific 3 See the ICH guidance ‘‘S2(R1) Genotoxicity Testing and Data Interpretation for Pharmaceuticals Intended for Human Use,’’ available at https:// www.fda.gov/Drugs/ GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/ Guidances/default.htm or https://www.fda.gov/ BiologicsBloodVaccines/ GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/ Guidances/default.htm. VerDate Mar<14>2013 15:16 Mar 15, 2013 Jkt 229001 tumorigenesis at these sites with little relevance to humans (Refs. 1 and 2). • Exposure Margins in Chronic Rat Toxicology Studies A high exposure margin in a chronic rat toxicology study absent of any carcinogenic risk factors can provide additional support for a carcinogenicity study waiver. The inability to achieve high exposure margins in a chronic rat toxicology study because of limitations of tolerability, pharmacology, or absorption would not preclude a carcinogenicity study waiver. • Evidence of Hormonal Perturbation Evidence of hormonal perturbation should be considered from both repeated-dose and reproductive toxicology studies. Such evidence can come from weight, gross and/or microscopic changes in endocrine organs, or parameters from reproductive toxicology studies. Serum hormone levels can be useful to address findings but are not always essential. • Immune Suppression Immunosuppression can be a causative factor for tumorigenesis in humans. As such, immunotoxicological parameters should be examined according to the ICH S8 guidance.4 • Special Studies and Endpoints Data from special stains, new biomarkers, emerging technologies, and alternative test systems can be submitted with scientific rationale to help explain or predict animal and/or human carcinogenic pathways and mechanisms when they would contribute meaningfully. • Results of Non-Rodent Chronic Study Assessment of carcinogenic risk factors in the non-rodent toxicology studies should be considered for human risk assessment regardless of results in the chronic rat study. • Transgenic Mouse Study A transgenic mouse carcinogenicity study (usually rasH2 or p53+/¥ mouse) is not required for the WOE argument. However, if conducted on a case-by-case basis, a transgenic mouse carcinogenicity study can contribute to the WOE.

ACTION: Notice. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is withdrawing approval of Bupropion Hydrochloride (HCl) Extended-Release Tablets, 300 Milligrams (mg) (Bupropion HCl Extended-Release Tablets 300 mg), under Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) 77–415, held by Impax Laboratories, Inc. (Impax), 30831 Huntwood Ave., Hayward, CA 94544, and marketed under the name BUDEPRION XL. Impax has voluntarily requested that approval for this product be withdrawn and waived its opportunity for a hearing. DATES: Effective March 18, 2013. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carolina M.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA approved ANDA 77–415 for Bupropion HCl Extended-Release Tablets 300 mg (marketed under the name BUDEPRION XL) on December 15, 2006 pursuant to section 505(j) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355(j)). Bupropion HCl ExtendedRelease Tablets 300 mg was indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder. On September 27, 2012, FDA requested that Impax voluntarily withdraw its Bupropion HCl ExtendedRelease Tablets 300 mg from the market after results of an FDA-sponsored bioequivalence study showed that Impax’s Bupropion HCl ExtendedRelease Tablets 300 mg are not therapeutically equivalent to the 300-mg strength of the reference listed drug. In a letter dated September 30, 2012, Impax requested that FDA withdraw approval of the 300-mg strength of Bupropion HCl Extended Release Tablets, approved under ANDA 77–415, pursuant to § 314.150(d) (21 CFR 314.150(d)). In that letter, Impax also waived its opportunity for a hearing. The Agency acknowledged Impax’s requests in a letter dated November 2, 2012. Therefore, under section 505(e) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 355(e)) and § 314.150(d), and under authority delegated by the Commissioner to the Director, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, approval of the 300-mg strength of Bupropion HCl ExtendedRelease Tablets under ANDA 77–415 is withdrawn (see DATES). Distribution of this product in interstate commerce without an approved application is illegal and subject to regulatory action (see sections 505(a) and 301(d) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 355(a) and 331(d)).
