SAFETY UPDATE

 

When you respond to the above deficiencies, include a safety update as described at 21 CFR 314.50(d)(5)(vi)(b). The safety update should include data from all nonclinical and clinical studies/trials of the drug under consideration regardless of indication, dosage form, or dose level.

 
1.Describe in detail any significant changes or findings in the safety profile.

 
2.When assembling the sections describing discontinuations due to adverse events, serious adverse events, and common adverse events, incorporate new safety data as follows:
•Present new safety data from the studies/clinical trials for the proposed indication using the same format as the original NDA submission. 
•Present tabulations of the new safety data combined with the original NDA data.
•Include tables that compare frequencies of adverse events in the original NDA with the retabulated frequencies described in the bullet above.
•For indications other than the proposed indication, provide separate tables for the frequencies of adverse events occurring in clinical trials.

 
3.Present a retabulation of the reasons for premature trial discontinuation by incorporating the drop-outs from the newly completed trials. Describe any new trends or patterns identified.

 
4.Provide case report forms and narrative summaries for each patient who died during a clinical trial or who did not complete a trial because of an adverse event. In addition, provide narrative summaries for serious adverse events.

 
5.Describe any information that suggests a substantial change in the incidence of common, but less serious, adverse events between the new data and the original NDA data.

 
6.Provide updated exposure information for the clinical studies/trials (e.g., number of subjects, person time).

 
7.Provide a summary of worldwide experience on the safety of this drug. Include an updated estimate of use for drug marketed in other countries.

Within one year after the date of this letter, you are required to resubmit or take other actions available under 21 CFR 314.110. If you do not take one of these actions, we may consider your lack of response a request to withdraw the application under 21 CFR 314.65. You may also request an extension of time in which to resubmit the application. A resubmission must fully address all the deficiencies listed. A partial response to this letter will not be processed as a resubmission and will not start a new review cycle.
