[Docket No. FDA-2013-N-1285]
Smith Miller and Patch, Inc. et al.; Withdrawal of Approval of 14 New Drug Applications
AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is withdrawing approval of 14 new drug applications (NDAs) from multiple holders of these applications. The basis for the withdrawals is that the holders of the applications have repeatedly failed to file required annual reports for the applications.
DATES:
November 17, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Florine P. Purdie, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, rm. 6366, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-796-3601.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The holders of approved applications to market new drugs for human use are required to submit annual reports to FDA concerning each of their approved applications in accordance with § 314.81 (21 CFR 314.81).
In the Federal Register of November 6, 2013 (78 FR 66748), FDA published a notice offering an opportunity for a hearing (NOOH) on a proposal to withdraw approval of 14 NDAs because the firms had failed to submit the required annual reports for these applications. The holders of these applications did not respond to the NOOH. Failure to file a written notice of participation and request for hearing as required by § 314.200 (21 CFR 314.200) constitutes an election by the applicant not to make use of the opportunity for a hearing concerning the proposal to withdraw approval of the applications and a waiver of any contentions concerning the legal status of the drug products. Therefore, the Director, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, is withdrawing approval of the 14 applications listed in table 1 of this document.
