`
`Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
`Attention: My Tran, PharmD
`Post-Doctoral Fellow, Regulatory Affairs
`900 Ridgebury Road, PO Box 368
`Ridgefield, CT 06877
`
`Dear Dr. Tran:
`
`Please refer to your supplemental new drug applications (sNDAs) dated and received
`September 17, 2021, and your amendments, submitted under section 505(b) and
`pursuant to section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) for
`Tradjenta (linagliptin) tablets and Jentadueto (linagliptin and metformin hydrochloride)
`tablets, respectively.
`
`
`These Prior Approval sNDAs provide for multiple labeling updates to the Prescribing
`
`Information and Medication Guide of Tradjenta and Jentadueto. The proposed changes
`
`also include reordering of ‘Heart Failure’ in section 5 Warnings and Precautions in the
`Prescribing Information.
`
`APPROVAL & LABELING
`
`We have completed our review of these applications, as amended. They are approved,
`effective on the date of this letter, for use as recommended in the enclosed agreed-
`upon labeling.
`
`WAIVER OF ½ PAGE LENGTH REQUIREMENT FOR HIGHLIGHTS
`
`Please note that we have previously granted a waiver of the requirements of 21 CFR
`201.57(d)(8) regarding the length of Highlights of Prescribing Information.
`
`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
`FDA.gov.1 Content of labeling must be identical to the enclosed labeling (text for the
`Prescribing Information 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 SPL Standard for Content of Labeling Technical Qs and As.2
`
`
`The SPL will be accessible from publicly available labeling repositories.
`
`Also within 14 days, amend all pending supplemental applications that include labeling
`changes 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 Microsoft Word
`format, that includes the changes approved in this supplemental application, as well as
`annual reportable changes. To facilitate review of your submission(s), 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).
`
`REQUIRED PEDIATRIC ASSESSMENTS
`
`
`Under the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA) (21 U.S.C. 355c), all applications for
`new active ingredients (which includes new salts and new fixed combinations), new
`indications, new dosage forms, new dosing regimens, or new routes of administration
`are required to contain an assessment of the safety and effectiveness of the product for
`the claimed indication in pediatric patients unless this requirement is waived, deferred,
`or inapplicable.
`
`Because none of these criteria apply to your application, you are exempt from this
`requirement.
`
`PATENT LISTING REQUIREMENTS
`
`
`Pursuant to 21 CFR 314.53(d)(2) and 314.70(f), certain changes to an approved NDA
`submitted in a supplement require you to submit patent information for listing in the
`Orange Book upon approval of the supplement. You must submit the patent information
`required by 21 CFR 314.53(d)(2)(i)(A) through (C) and 314.53(d)(2)(ii)(A) and (C), as
`applicable, to FDA on Form FDA 3542 within 30 days after the date of approval of the
`supplement for the patent information to be timely filed (see 21 CFR
`314.53(c)(2)(ii)). You also must ensure that any changes to your approved NDA that
`require the submission of a request to remove patent information from the Orange Book
`are submitted to FDA at the time of approval of the supplement pursuant to 21 CFR
`314.53(d)(2)(ii)(B) and 314.53(f)(2)(iv).
