Summary

The FDA issued a Complete Response letter for New Drug Application (NDA) 210852 for Cyclophosphamide Injection, indicating that the application cannot be approved in its current form due to deficiencies related to facility inspections and requiring a comprehensive safety update.

Key points

  • Satisfactorily resolve objectionable conditions observed during the manufacturing facility inspection.
  • Include a safety update as described at 21 CFR 314.50(d)(5)(vi)(b) when responding to deficiencies.
  • Describe in detail any significant changes or findings in the safety profile.
  • Incorporate new safety data from studies/clinical trials for the proposed indication, presenting it in the same format as the original submission, with combined tabulations and comparative tables.
  • Present separate tables for frequencies of adverse events occurring in clinical trials for indications other than the proposed indication.
  • Retabulate reasons for premature trial discontinuation by incorporating dropouts from newly completed trials and describe any new trends or patterns.
  • Provide case report forms and narrative summaries for each subject who died during a clinical trial or who did not complete a trial due to an adverse event, and for serious adverse events.
  • Describe any information suggesting a substantial change in the incidence of common, but less serious, adverse events between new data and original application data.

Cited reasons

  • Unresolved Manufacturing Facility Deficiencies
  • Comprehensive Safety Update Required
  • Labeling Review Reserved
  • The application received a Complete Response due to unresolved objectionable conditions observed during a manufacturing facility inspection and significant deficiencies in the submitted safety data update. Comments on labeling are reserved until these primary issues are addressed.

Deficiency summary

The application received a Complete Response due to unresolved objectionable conditions observed during a manufacturing facility inspection and significant deficiencies in the submitted safety data update. Comments on labeling are reserved until these primary issues are addressed.

Findings

Unresolved Manufacturing Facility Deficiencies

Severity: critical

During a recent inspection of the manufacturing facility, objectionable conditions were observed. Satisfactory resolution of these observations is required before the application can be approved.

Recommended response: Immediately address all objectionable conditions identified during the facility inspection and provide evidence of satisfactory resolution to the agency.

Comprehensive Safety Update Required

Severity: major

The safety update must include: detailed changes in safety profile; new safety data from studies/clinical trials for the proposed indication (same format as original, combined with original data, comparative tables); separate tables for adverse events for non-proposed indications; retabulation of premature trial discontinuations with new trends; case report forms and narrative summaries for deaths/serious adverse events; information on changes in common adverse events; updated exposure information; a summary of worldwide safety experience; and English translations of current approved foreign labeling not previously submitted.

Recommended response: Prepare and submit a complete safety update addressing all specified data requirements, including detailed analyses, worldwide experience, and translations of foreign labeling.

Cited: 21 CFR 314.50(d)(5)(vi)(b)

Labeling Review Reserved

Severity: minor

Comments on the proposed labeling (Prescribing Information, Carton and Container Labeling) are reserved until the application is otherwise adequate. The agency encourages review of specific labeling resources.

Recommended response: Await resolution of critical and major deficiencies before preparing a comprehensive labeling submission, utilizing FDA's labeling resources.
