Dear Ms. Regan:
 
We have reviewed your submission dated December 3, 2012 to your biologics license application (BLA) for HPC, Cord Blood requesting a proprietary name review. 
 
In consultation with CBER’s Advertising and Promotional Labeling Branch (APLB) we conclude that under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and applicable regulations, your proposed proprietary name, ALLOCORD, is acceptable at this time. Please note that the utilization of tallman lettering, i.e., AlloCORD, is not recommended.
 
We will perform another proprietary name review of ALLOCORD closer to the time of the action due date to ensure that we have not approved a conflicting proprietary name for another product in the interim.
 
If you have any questions, please contact the Regulatory Project Manager, Lori A. Tull, at (301) 827-5359.
 
Sincerely yours,
 
 /s/
