committee will discuss new drug
application (NDA) 214383, PEPAXTO
(melphalan flufenamide) for injection
submitted by Oncopeptides AB,
approved under 21 CFR 314.500
(subpart H, accelerated approval
regulations), in combination with
dexamethasone for the treatment of
adult patients with relapsed or

received at least four prior lines of
therapy and whose disease is refractory

CD38-directed monoclonal antibody.
The committee will hear an update
where the confirmatory trial
demonstrated a worse overall survival
in the melphalan flufenamide treatment
arm compared to the control arm.
Confirmatory studies are post-marketing
studies to verify and describe the
clinical benefit of a drug after it receives
accelerated approval. Based on the
update provided, the committee will
have a general discussion focused on
next steps for the product including
whether the indication should remain
on the market while additional trial(s)
are conducted.
FDA intends to make background
material available to the public no later
than 2 business days before the meeting.
If FDA is unable to post the background
material on its website prior to the

‘‘Ruby Chocolate’’ Deviating From
Identity Standard; Temporary Permit
for Market Testing
AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration,
HHS.
ACTION:
Notice.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA or we) is
announcing the extension of a
temporary permit issued to Barry
Callebaut U.S.A. LLC (the applicant) to
market test products (designated as
‘‘ruby chocolate’’) that deviate from the
U.S. standards of identity for cacao
products. The extension allows the
applicant to continue to evaluate
commercial viability of the product and

to collect data on consumer acceptance
of the product in support of a petition
to establish a standard of identity for
‘‘ruby chocolate.’’ We also invite other
interested parties to participate in the
market test.
DATES: The new expiration date of the
permit will be either the effective date
of a final rule establishing a standard of
identity for ‘‘ruby chocolate’’ that may
result from the petition or 30 days after
denial of the petition.

Regulations and Policy (HFS–024), Food
and Drug Administration, 5001 Campus
Dr., College Park, MD 20740, 240–402–
2378.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with § 130.17 (21 CFR
130.17), we issued a temporary permit
to Barry Callebaut U.S.A. LLC, 600 West
Chicago Ave, Suite 860, Chicago, IL
60654, to market test products identified
as ‘‘ruby chocolate’’ that deviate from
the requirements of the standards of
identity for cacao products in part 163
(21 CFR part 163) (84 FR 64541,
November 22, 2019). We issued the
permit to facilitate market testing of
products that deviate from the
requirements of the standard of identity
for cacao products issued under section
401 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 341). The
permit covers limited interstate
marketing tests of products identified as
‘‘ruby chocolate.’’ These test products
deviate from the U.S. standards of
identity for cacao products (§§ 163.111,
163.123, 163.124, 163.130, 163.135,
163.140, and 163.145).
For the purpose of this permit, ‘‘ruby
chocolate’’ is the solid or semi-plastic
food prepared by mixing and grinding
cacao fat with one or more of the cacao
ingredients (namely, chocolate liquor,
breakfast cocoa, cocoa, and low-fat
cocoa), citric acid, one or more of
optional nutritive carbohydrate
sweeteners. ‘‘Ruby chocolate’’ contains
not less than 1.5 percent nonfat cacao
solids, not less than 2.5 percent by
weight of milk fat, not less than 12
percent by weight of total milk solids,
not more than 1.5 percent of
emulsifying agents, and not more than
5 percent of whey or whey products. It
may also contain other ingredients such
as antioxidants approved for food use,
spices, natural and artificial flavorings,
and other seasonings. However, these
other ingredients cannot imitate the
PO 00000
Frm 00045
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
flavor of chocolate, milk, butter, berry,
or another fruit. Additionally, ‘‘ruby
chocolate’’ contains no added coloring.
The test product ‘‘ruby chocolate’’
contains the principal ingredients used
in most of the current standards for
cacao products under part 163;
however, it deviates from the current
standard of identify for chocolate
products in terms of its final
composition, taste, and color.
On February 19, 2021, the applicant
asked us to extend the temporary permit
so the applicant could have more time
to market test the ‘‘ruby chocolate’’ and
gain additional consumer acceptance in
support of the petition to establish a
standard for ‘‘ruby chocolate.’’ We find
that it is in the interest of consumers to
extend the permit for continued market
testing of ‘‘ruby chocolate’’ to gain
additional information on consumer
expectations and acceptance. Therefore,
under § 130.17(i), we are extending the
temporary permit granted to Barry
Callebaut U.S.A. LLC for temporary
marketing of approximately 60 million
pounds (27,215,540 kilograms) of ‘‘ruby
chocolate’’ to provide continued market
testing of the specified amount of
product for the applicant on an annual
basis. The test products will bear the
name ‘‘ruby chocolate.’’ The new
expiration date of the permit will be
either the effective date of a final rule
establishing a standard of identity for
‘‘ruby chocolate’’ that may result from
the petition or 30 days after denial of
the petition. All other conditions and
terms of this permit remain the same.
In addition, we invite interested
persons to participate in the market test
under the conditions of the permit,
except for the designated area of
distribution. Any person who wishes to
participate in the extended market test
should notify, in writing, the Branch
Chief, Product Evaluation Labeling
Branch, Division of Food Labeling and
Standards, Office of Nutrition and Food
Labeling, Center for Food Safety and
Applied Nutrition (HFS–820), Food and
Drug Administration, 5001 Campus Dr.,
College Park, MD 20740. The
notification must describe the amount to
be distributed, the area of distribution,
and include the labeling that will be
used for the test product (see
§ 130.17(i)). For information on what to
include in the notification to FDA, see
§ 130.17(c). Test products must be
labeled in accordance with 21 CFR part
101.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Agenda: The meeting presentations will be heard, viewed, captioned,
and recorded through an online teleconferencing platform. The committee
will discuss new drug application (NDA) 214383, PEPAXTO (melphalan
flufenamide) for injection submitted by Oncopeptides AB, approved under
21 CFR 314.500 (subpart H, accelerated approval regulations), in
combination with dexamethasone for the treatment of adult patients with
relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least four
prior lines of therapy and whose disease is refractory to at least one
proteasome inhibitor, one immunomodulatory agent, and one CD38-directed
monoclonal antibody.
The committee will hear an update where the confirmatory trial
demonstrated a worse overall survival in the melphalan flufenamide
treatment arm compared to the control arm. Confirmatory studies are
post-marketing studies to verify and describe the clinical benefit of a
drug after it receives accelerated approval. Based on the update
provided, the committee will have a general discussion focused on next
steps for the product including whether the indication should remain on
the market while additional trial(s) are conducted.
