`
`
`
`Dear Ms. Kessler,
`
`Please refer to your Supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) dated and received on
`December 13, 2010, submitted under section 505(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
`Act (FDCA) for Fanapt (iloperidone) oral tablets 1 mg, 2 mg, 4 mg, 6 mg, 8 mg, 10 mg, and 12
`mg.
`
`This “Prior Approval” labeling supplemental new drug application proposes to remove the word
`“acute” from the Highlights and Indications and Usage sections of labeling.
`
`We have completed our review of this supplemental application. It is approved, effective on the
`date of this letter. The agreed-upon labeling is attached.
`
`CONTENT OF LABELING
`
`
`
`As soon as possible, but no later than 14 days from the date of this letter, submit the content of
`labeling [21 CFR 314.50(l)] in structured product labeling (SPL) format using the FDA
`automated drug registration and listing system (eLIST), as described at
`http://www.fda.gov/ForIndustry/DataStandards/StructuredProductLabeling/default.htm. Content
`of labeling must be identical to the enclosed labeling (text for the package insert and Medication
`Guide), with the addition of any labeling changes in pending “Changes Being Effected” (CBE)
`supplements, as well as annual reportable changes not included in the enclosed labeling.
`
`Information on submitting SPL files using eLIST may be found in the guidance for industry
`
`
`titled “SPL Standard for Content of Labeling Technical Qs and As” at
`
`
`http://www.fda.gov/downloads/DrugsGuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/U
`
`CM072392.pdf.
`
`The SPL will be accessible from publicly available labeling repositories.

`
`Also within 14 days, amend all pending supplemental applications for this NDA, including CBE
`supplements for which FDA has not yet issued an action letter, with the content of labeling
`[21 CFR 314.50(l)(1)(i)] in MS Word format, that includes the changes approved in this
`supplemental application, as well as annual reportable changes and annotate each change. To
`facilitate review of your submission, provide a highlighted or marked-up copy that shows all
`changes, as well as a clean Microsoft Word version. The marked-up copy should provide
`appropriate annotations, including supplement number(s) and annual report date(s).
