ACTION: Notice. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is withdrawing approval of 8 new drug applications (NDAs) and 46 abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) for prescription pain medications containing propoxyphene. The holders of these applications have agreed in writing to permit FDA to withdraw approval of the applications and have waived their opportunity for a hearing. DATES: Effective March 10, 2014. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Joy, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, Rm. 6254, Silver Spring, MD 20993–0002, 301–796–3601. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Propoxyphene is an opioid pain relief medication marketed under brand names such as Darvon and Darvocet. In 1957, FDA approved NDAs 010996 and 010997 for propoxyphene hydrochloride (HCl), alone and in combination with other active ingredients, both of which are currently held by Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Xanodyne). In 2010, after receiving new clinical data showing that when propoxyphene is taken at therapeutic doses, the drug puts patients at risk of potentially serious or even fatal heart rhythm abnormalities, and other information SUMMARY: including new epidemiological data, FDA concluded that the risks of propoxyphene outweigh its benefits as a pain reliever. In separate telephone conversations on November 18, 2010, FDA asked Xanodyne and the holders of marketed generic propoxyphene drug products to permit FDA to withdraw approval of their applications and to waive their opportunity for a hearing. In a separate notice published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA notifies other holders of ANDAs for pain medications containing propoxyphene of their opportunity to request a hearing if they wish to challenge the Agency’s proposal to withdraw approval of their applications. Xanodyne and manufacturers of generic propoxyphene products identified in table 1 have written to FDA asking the Agency to withdraw approval of their applications for propoxyphenecontaining products and have waived their opportunity for a hearing. Some products approved under the applications identified in table 1 were discontinued in the past, before FDA’s November 2010 determination that the risks of propoxyphene outweigh its benefits. Not included in table 1 are NDAs and ANDAs for which Federal Register notices were previously published announcing withdrawal of approval.

The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) is proposing to withdraw approval of three abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) for propoxyphene drug products from multiple sources and is announcing an opportunity for holders of those ANDAs to request a hearing on this proposal.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Propoxyphene is an opioid pain relief medication first approved by FDA in 1957. It has been marketed as a single active ingredient drug product and in combination with other active ingredients such as acetaminophen. It has been marketed under brand names SUMMARY: such as Darvon and Darvocet and in generic forms. After receiving clinical data and other information showing that propoxyphene puts patients at risk of potentially serious and even fatal heart rhythm abnormalities, FDA determined that the risks of propoxyphene outweigh its benefits. On November 18, 2010, FDA asked Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Xanodyne), the maker of Darvon and Darvocet, and manufacturers of then marketed generic propoxyphene drug products to voluntarily withdraw their products from the U.S. market. In a separate notice published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is withdrawing approval of 8 NDAs and 46 ANDAs from multiple sources, whose application holders have agreed in writing to permit FDA to withdraw approval of the applications and have waived their opportunity for a hearing. Although the holders of the approved applications listed in Table 1 are believed to have discontinued marketing these products prior to November 2010, FDA has not received correspondence from these application holders requesting that the Agency withdraw approval of the identified applications. Hence, in accordance with section 505(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355(e)), we hereby notify the application holders listed in Table 1 of their opportunity to request a hearing on CDER’s proposal to withdraw approval of the listed applications.

Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al.; Withdrawal of Approval of 
8 New Drug Applications and 46 Abbreviated New Drug Applications for 
Propoxyphene Products

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is withdrawing approval 
of 8 new drug applications (NDAs) and 46 abbreviated new drug 
applications (ANDAs) for prescription pain medications containing 
propoxyphene. The holders of these applications have agreed in writing 
to permit FDA to withdraw approval of the applications and have waived 
their opportunity for a hearing.

DATES: Effective March 10, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Joy, Center for Drug Evaluation 
and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., 
Bldg. 51, Rm. 6254, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-796-3601.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Propoxyphene is an opioid pain relief 
medication marketed under brand names such as Darvon and Darvocet. In 
1957, FDA approved NDAs 010996 and 010997 for propoxyphene 
hydrochloride (HCl), alone and in combination with other active 
ingredients, both of which are currently held by Xanodyne 
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Xanodyne).
    In 2010, after receiving new clinical data showing that when 
propoxyphene is taken at therapeutic doses, the drug puts patients at 
risk of potentially serious or even fatal heart rhythm abnormalities, 
and other information including new epidemiological data, FDA concluded 
that the risks of propoxyphene outweigh its benefits as a pain 
reliever. In separate telephone conversations on November 18, 2010, FDA 
asked Xanodyne and the holders of marketed generic propoxyphene drug 
products to permit FDA to withdraw approval of their applications and 
to waive their opportunity for a hearing. In a separate notice 
published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA notifies 
other holders of ANDAs for pain medications containing propoxyphene of 
their opportunity to request a hearing if they wish to challenge the 
Agency's proposal to withdraw approval of their applications.
    Xanodyne and manufacturers of generic propoxyphene products 
identified in table 1 have written to FDA asking the Agency to withdraw 
approval of their applications for propoxyphene-containing products and 
have waived their opportunity for a hearing. Some products approved 
under the applications identified in table 1 were discontinued in the 
past, before FDA's November 2010 determination that the risks of 
propoxyphene outweigh its benefits. Not included in table 1 are NDAs 
and ANDAs for which Federal Register notices were previously published 
announcing withdrawal of approval.
