SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 28, 2021, FDA approved NDA 214622 for 
TRUSELTIQ (infigratinib phosphate) Capsules, 25 mg and 100 mg, for the 
treatment of adults with previously treated, unresectable locally 
advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma (advanced bile duct cancer or 
advanced cholangiocarcinoma) with a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 
fusion or other rearrangement as detected by an FDA-approved test, 
under the Agency's accelerated approval regulations, 21 CFR part 314,

intended to verify the clinical benefit of TRUSELTIQ.
    On October 5, 2022, Helsinn voluntarily requested withdrawal of 
approval of TRUSELTIQ (infigratinib phosphate) Capsules, 25 mg and 100 
mg. On February 15, 2023, FDA recommended that the applicant submit a 
letter to voluntarily request withdrawal of approval of TRUSELTIQ 
(infigratinib phosphate) Capsules, 25 mg and 100 mg, according to Sec.  
314.150(d) (21 CFR 314.150(d)) due to the company's inability to 
conduct a clinical trial to verify clinical benefit. On April 21, 2023, 
FDA requested Helsinn waive its opportunity for a hearing.
    On May 30, 2023, Helsinn submitted a letter asking FDA to withdraw

25 mg and 100 mg, according to Sec.  314.150(d) and waiving its

approval, Helsinn stated that it is voluntarily requesting withdrawal 
due to difficulties in recruiting and enrolling study subjects for the

(a new indication under investigation for TRUSELTIQ), and the 
determination that, as a result, continued distribution of TRUSELTIQ in 
second line cholangiocarcinoma (the accelerated approval indication) is 
not commercially reasonable. Helsinn stated

[[Page 42888]]

that it agreed to withdrawal of the application for this reason only.
    For the reasons discussed above, and in accordance with the 
applicant's request, approval of NDA 214622 for TRUSELTIQ (infigratinib 
phosphate) Capsules, 25 mg and 100 mg, and all amendments and 
supplements thereto, is withdrawn under Sec.  314.150(d). Distribution
