ACTION: Notice. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is withdrawing approval of 14 new drug applications (NDAs) from multiple holders of these applications. The basis for the withdrawals is that the holders of the applications have repeatedly failed to file required annual reports for the applications. DATES: November 17, 2014. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Florine P. Purdie, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, rm. 6366, Silver Spring, MD 20993–0002, 301– 796–3601. SUMMARY: The holders of approved applications to market new drugs for human use are required to submit annual reports to FDA concerning each of their approved applications in accordance with § 314.81 (21 CFR 314.81). In the Federal Register of November 6, 2013 (78 FR 66748), FDA published a notice offering an opportunity for a hearing (NOOH) on a proposal to withdraw approval of 14 NDAs because the firms had failed to submit the required annual reports for these applications. The holders of these applications did not respond to the NOOH. Failure to file a written notice of participation and request for hearing as required by § 314.200 (21 CFR 314.200) constitutes an election by the applicant not to make use of the opportunity for a hearing concerning the proposal to withdraw approval of the applications and a waiver of any contentions concerning the legal status of the drug products. Therefore, the Director, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, is withdrawing approval of the 14 applications listed in table 1 of this document.

A signed Confidential Disclosure Agreement will be required to receive copies of the patent applications. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Technology descriptions follow. Heterocyclic Compounds for the Treatment of Hepatitis C Virus Description of Technology: The vast majority of people infected with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) will have chronic infection. Over decades, this can lead to liver disease and liver cancer. In fact, HCV infection is the leading cause of liver transplants in the U.S. Several new drugs have recently come into the market that have changed the HCV treatment paradigm. However, the effectiveness of these new drugs can vary depending on the HCV genotype. Furthermore, all oral, interferon free therapeutic regimens for HCV infection will need combinations of drugs that target different aspects of the HCV life cycle. Thus, there is still the need for additional new therapeutics against HCV. The subject technologies are aryloxazole based small molecules that are potent inhibitors of HCV infection and replication. The compounds exhibit synergy with currently available therapeutics for HCV and represent a new class of anti-HCV compounds. The compounds affect the entry step of HCV infection, a step not targeted by currently available therapeutics against HCV. Potential Commercial Applications: Prevention and treatment of HCV infection. Competitive Advantages: • Potent inhibitors of HCV infection and replication. • Show synergistic effect with currently available HCV therapeutics. • Represent new class of HCV inhibitors that target the entry step of HCV infection. Development Stage: • Early-stage. • In vitro data available. E:\FR\FM\17NON1.SGM 17NON1

Smith Miller and Patch, Inc. et al.; Withdrawal of Approval of 14 
New Drug Applications

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is withdrawing approval 
of 14 new drug applications (NDAs) from multiple holders of these 
applications. The basis for the withdrawals is that the holders of the 
applications have repeatedly failed to file required annual reports for 
the applications.

DATES: November 17, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Florine P. Purdie, Center for Drug 
Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New 
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, rm. 6366, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-
796-3601.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The holders of approved applications to 
market new drugs for human use are required to submit annual reports to 
FDA concerning each of their approved applications in accordance with 
Sec.  314.81 (21 CFR 314.81).
    In the Federal Register of November 6, 2013 (78 FR 66748), FDA 
published a notice offering an opportunity for a hearing (NOOH) on a 
proposal to withdraw approval of 14 NDAs because the firms had failed 
to submit the required annual reports for these applications. The 
holders of these applications did not respond to the NOOH. Failure to 
file a written notice of participation and request for hearing as 
required by Sec.  314.200 (21 CFR 314.200) constitutes an election by 
the applicant not to make use of the opportunity for a hearing 
concerning the proposal to withdraw approval of the applications and a 
waiver of any contentions concerning the legal status of the drug 
products. Therefore, the Director, Center for Drug Evaluation and 
Research, is withdrawing approval of the 14 applications listed in 
table 1 of this document.
