Actavis Totowa LLC, et al.; Withdrawal of Approval of Abbreviated New Drug Applications for Prescription Pain Medications Containing More Than 325 Milligrams of Acetaminophen, 17163-17168 [2014-06801]

Download as PDF tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 59 / Thursday, March 27, 2014 / Notices appropriate RLD with an acetaminophen strength at or below 325 mg in the Orange Book. For a small minority of higher acetaminophen strength combinations, there is no approved lower acetaminophen strength product with the same active ingredients that could serve as the RLD. We believe that reformulations of these products, however, could be approved as ANDAs upon approval of an ANDA suitability petition (see section 505(j)(2)(C) of the FD&C Act and § 314.93 (21 CFR 314.93)) permitting the submission of an ANDA for a drug product that is not identical to the RLD in an active ingredient or unit dosage strength, or could be approved as NDAs following submission of applications with appropriate clinical studies. We are establishing a timeframe for responding to this notice that takes into account the estimated time needed for sponsors to obtain necessary approvals and begin to market new products with lower acetaminophen strengths. We believe that a period of 3 years from publication of this notice in the Federal Register will provide adequate time for drug sponsors to prepare to withdraw existing products with higher acetaminophen strengths, and to develop and obtain approval for lower acetaminophen strength versions of those products. We also anticipate that this will provide sufficient time for drug sponsors with approved lower acetaminophen strength products to expand their production to meet the expected increase in demand for lower acetaminophen strength products when the higher strength products become unavailable. We strongly encourage sponsors of combination prescription products with acetaminophen strengths greater than 325 mg to submit requests for withdrawal of those products’ approved applications under § 314.150(d) within the 3-year period described previously. Sponsors who intend to seek approval of one or more new products with acetaminophen strengths of 325 mg or less are encouraged to submit appropriate applications for such products in time to obtain approval within the same period. To that end, we welcome inquiries and requests for consultation from sponsors relating to specific existing or proposed products in connection with this notice. Any such requests from sponsors of currently approved products affected by this notice should be made as correspondence under the affected application(s) and should reference this notice. We are issuing this notice because we believe that voluntary action on the part VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:40 Mar 26, 2014 Jkt 232001 17163 of product sponsors to reduce the acetaminophen strengths of prescription acetaminophen combinations can achieve the needed increase in patient safety substantially sooner and with less burden on public and private resources than alternative regulatory measures. However, FDA has authority under section 505(e)(2) of the FD&C Act to withdraw approval of an NDA or ANDA if the Agency determines that the ‘‘* * * drug is not shown to be safe for use under the conditions of use upon the basis of which the drug was approved * * *’’ based on consideration of ‘‘* * * new evidence * * * together with the evidence available to [FDA] when the application was approved * * *.’’ FDA regulations describe the procedures for withdrawing approval of an application. (See § 314.150 and 21 CFR 314.151, 314.200, 314.201, and 314.235). We intend to use our authority under section 505(e) of the FD&C Act to initiate withdrawal proceedings for any prescription acetaminophen combination products with acetaminophen strengths greater than 325 mg that remain on the market 3 years after the date of publication of this notice.

ACTION: Notice. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is withdrawing approval of 108 abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) for prescription pain medications containing more than 325 milligrams (mg) of acetaminophen. The holders of these ANDAs have voluntarily requested that approval of these applications be withdrawn and have waived their opportunity for a hearing. DATES: Effective March 27, 2014. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rachel Turow, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, Rm. 6236, Silver Spring, MD 20993–0002, 301– 796–5094. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of January 14, 2011 (76 FR 2691), FDA announced its plans to reduce the maximum dosage unit strength of acetaminophen in prescription drug products. The notice SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\27MRN1.SGM 27MRN1 17164 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 59 / Thursday, March 27, 2014 / Notices announced FDA’s conclusion that, based on a reevaluation of the relative risks and benefits of prescription acetaminophen products, fixedcombination prescription drugs containing more than 325 mg of acetaminophen per dosage unit (tablet or capsule) do not provide a sufficient margin of safety to protect the public against the serious risk of acetaminophen-induced liver injury. Accordingly, we asked product sponsors to limit the maximum amount of acetaminophen per dosage unit to 325 mg and, for those products containing more than 325 mg of acetaminophen per dosage unit, to submit requests that FDA withdraw approval of their applications under § 314.150(d) (21 CFR 314.150(d)). FDA asked that all such requests be made before January 14, 2014. Table 1 lists the applications for which FDA has received such requests. The sponsors of the applications listed in table 1 have also waived their opportunity for a hearing.

Therefore, under § 314.150(d), and under authority delegated to the Director, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, by the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, approval of the applications for the drug products listed in table 1 of this document, and all amendments and supplements thereto, is withdrawn (see DATES). Distribution of these products 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)). The safety issue discussed in this document and the January 14, 2011, Federal Register document is limited to products containing more than 325 mg of acetaminophen per dosage unit. Thus, the withdrawal of approval of products containing more than 325 mg of acetaminophen per dosage unit listed in table 1 does not change the approval status of any products with 325 mg or less of acetaminophen per dosage unit that were approved under the same application. In addition, the withdrawal of approval of products containing more than 325 mg of acetaminophen per dosage unit does not change the approval status of products with 325 mg or less of acetaminophen per dosage unit that refer to or rely on the withdrawn products. For example, this withdrawal action will not affect the approval status of an ANDA for a product that contains 325 mg or less per dosage unit that references a product listed in table 1, but for which FDA approved a suitability petition for a lower strength under section 505(j)(2)(C) of the FD&C Act and § 314.93 (21 CFR 314.93)).

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Health Resources and Services Administration National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program; List of Petitions Received Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS. ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is publishing this notice of petitions received under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (the Program), as required by Section 2112(b)(2) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended. While the Secretary of Health and Human Services is named as the respondent in all proceedings brought by the filing of petitions for compensation under the Program, the United States Court of Federal Claims is charged by statute with responsibility for considering and acting upon the petitions. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about requirements for filing petitions, and the Program in general, contact the Clerk, United States Court of Federal Claims, 717 Madison Place NW., Washington, DC 20005, (202) 357–6400. For information on HRSA’s role in the Program, contact the Director, National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 11C–26, Rockville, MD 20857; (301) 443–6593. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Program provides a system of no-fault compensation for certain individuals who have been injured by specified childhood vaccines. Subtitle 2 of Title XXI of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C. 300aa-10 et seq., provides that those seeking compensation are to file a petition with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and to serve a copy of the petition on the Secretary of Health and Human Services, who is named as the respondent in each proceeding. The Secretary has delegated this responsibility under the Program to HRSA. The Court is directed by statute to appoint special masters who take evidence, conduct hearings as SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 LLC, 121 Marketridge Dr., appropriate, and make initial decisions as to eligibility for, and amount of, compensation. A petition may be filed with respect to injuries, disabilities, illnesses, conditions, and deaths resulting from vaccines described in the Vaccine Injury Table (the Table) set forth at Section 2114 of the PHS Act or as set forth at 42 CFR 100.3, as applicable. This Table lists for each covered childhood vaccine the conditions which may lead to compensation and, for each condition, the time period for occurrence of the first symptom or manifestation of onset or of significant aggravation after vaccine administration. Compensation may also be awarded for conditions not listed in the Table and for conditions that are manifested outside the time periods specified in the Table, but only if the petitioner shows that the condition was caused by one of the listed vaccines. Section 2112(b)(2) of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C. 300aa–12(b)(2), requires that ‘‘[w]ithin 30 days after the Secretary receives service of any petition filed under section 2111 the Secretary shall publish notice of such petition in the Federal Register.’’ Set forth below is a list of petitions received by HRSA on February 1, 2014, through February 28, 2014. This list provides the name of petitioner, city and state of vaccination (if unknown then city and state of person or attorney filing claim), and case number. In cases where the Court has redacted the name of a petitioner and/or the case number, the list reflects such redaction. Section 2112(b)(2) also provides that the special master ‘‘shall afford all interested persons an opportunity to submit relevant, written information’’ relating to the following: 1. The existence of evidence ‘‘that there is not a preponderance of the evidence that the illness, disability, injury, condition, or death described in the petition is due to factors unrelated to the administration of the vaccine described in the petition,’’ and 2. Any allegation in a petition that the petitioner either: (a) ‘‘Sustained, or had significantly aggravated, any illness, disability, injury, or condition not set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table but which was E:\FR\FM\27MRN1.SGM 27MRN1

[Docket No. FDA-2011-N-0021]


Actavis Totowa LLC, et al.; Withdrawal of Approval of Abbreviated 
New Drug Applications for Prescription Pain Medications Containing More 
Than 325 Milligrams of Acetaminophen

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is withdrawing approval 
of 108 abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) for prescription pain 
medications containing more than 325 milligrams (mg) of acetaminophen. 
The holders of these ANDAs have voluntarily requested that approval of 
these applications be withdrawn and have waived their opportunity for a 
hearing.

DATES: Effective March 27, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rachel Turow, Center for Drug 
Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New 
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, Rm. 6236, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-
796-5094.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of January 14, 2011 
(76 FR 2691), FDA announced its plans to reduce the maximum dosage unit 
strength of acetaminophen in prescription drug products. The notice

[[Page 17164]]

announced FDA's conclusion that, based on a reevaluation of the 
relative risks and benefits of prescription acetaminophen products, 
fixed-combination prescription drugs containing more than 325 mg of 
acetaminophen per dosage unit (tablet or capsule) do not provide a 
sufficient margin of safety to protect the public against the serious 
risk of acetaminophen-induced liver injury. Accordingly, we asked 
product sponsors to limit the maximum amount of acetaminophen per 
dosage unit to 325 mg and, for those products containing more than 325 
mg of acetaminophen per dosage unit, to submit requests that FDA 
withdraw approval of their applications under Sec.  314.150(d) (21 CFR 
314.150(d)). FDA asked that all such requests be made before January 
14, 2014. Table 1 lists the applications for which FDA has received 
such requests. The sponsors of the applications listed in table 1 have 
also waived their opportunity for a hearing.

    Therefore, under Sec.  314.150(d), and under authority delegated to 
the Director, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, by the 
Commissioner of Food and Drugs, approval of the applications for the 
drug products listed in table 1 of this document, and all amendments 
and supplements thereto, is withdrawn (see DATES). Distribution of 
these products 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)).
    The safety issue discussed in this document and the January 14, 
2011, Federal Register document is limited to products containing more 
than 325 mg of acetaminophen per dosage unit. Thus, the withdrawal of 
approval of products containing more than 325 mg of acetaminophen per 
dosage unit listed in table 1 does not change the approval status of 
any products with 325 mg or less of acetaminophen per dosage unit that 
were approved under the same application. In addition, the withdrawal 
of approval of products containing more than 325 mg of acetaminophen 
per dosage unit does not change the approval status of products with 
325 mg or less of acetaminophen per dosage unit that refer to or rely 
on the withdrawn products. For example, this withdrawal action will not 
affect the approval status of an ANDA for a product that contains 325 
mg or less per dosage unit that references a product listed in table 1, 
but for which FDA approved a suitability petition for a lower strength 
under section 505(j)(2)(C) of the FD&C Act and Sec.  314.93 (21 CFR 
314.93)).

    Dated: March 24, 2014.
