Product Quality Review(S) CENTER FOR DRUG EVALUATION AND RESEARCH APPLICATION NUMBER: 211939Orig1s000 PRODUCT QUALITY REVIEW(S) Memorandum DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION CENTER FOR DRUG EVALUATION AND RESEARCH Date: September 19, 2019 From: Mark R. Seggel, Ph.D. Application Technical Lead Office of New Drug Products Branch V/DNDP II Through: Moo-Jhong Rhee, Ph.D. Chief, Branch V Office of New Drug Products Branch V/DNDP II To: OPQ IQA #1 for NDA 211939 BONSITY (teriparatide injection) Subject: Final Recommendation - APPROVAL Summary: The OPQ Integrated Quality Assessment (IQA) #1 dated September 11, 2019 concluded that this 505(b)(2) NDA was Not Ready for Approval in its present form per 21 CFR 314.125(b)(8). It was noted that labeling (prescribing information (PI), pen label, and carton label) negotiations had not been completed, and in its present form, the labeling did not comply with the requirements under 21 CFR 201. The NDA was otherwise complete and adequate from the OPQ perspective. Deficiencies noted in OPQ IQA #1 Chapter IV, Labeling, included use of an incorrect established name, and incorrect presentation of the dosage form, strength, and package type. From the ONDP CMC perspective the revised labeling submitted August 23, 2019 (sn 0031), September 10, 2019 (sn 0036), and September 13, 2019 (sn 0037) adequately addresses the previously identified labeling issues. Additional Comments: Per the Panorama ‘Submission Facility Status View,’ all manufacturing, packaging and testing facilities associated with this NDA remain “Compliant.” ###### Reference ID: 44945304503479 Recommendation: This NDA is now recommended for Approval from the OPQ perspective.

These labeling issues have been satisfactorily resolved based on the revisions made in eCTD-0031 and eCTD-0036, eCTD-0037. RECOMMENDATION: This application is now recommended for Approval from the CMC labeling/label perspective. Reference ID: 4503479 NDA 211939 Quality Assessment - Labeling Assessment Cycle #1 Addendum Assessment Notes Labeling deficiencies from Quality Assessment were identified in Assessment Cycle #1 dated 07/22/2019 (see N211939 Labeling R1, Section III).

It has an identical sequence to the 34 N-terminal amino acids (the biologically active region) of the 84-amino acid human parathyroid hormone. The molecular formula of teriparatide is C181H291N55O51S2 and the molecular weight is 4117.8 daltons. Its amino acid sequence is shown below: Teriparatide is manufactured using a strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens modified by recombinant DNA technology. BONSITY is supplied as a sterile, colorless, clear, isotonic solution in a glass cartridge which is pre-assembled into a single-patient-use delivery device (pen) for subcutaneous injection. Each pen is filled to deliver 2.48 mL. Each mL contains 250 mcg teriparatide (as a free base), 0.41 mg glacial acetic acid, 0.10 mg sodium acetate, 45.4 mg mannitol, 3 mg metacresol, and water for injection. The drug product is a pH 4.0 solution. Each cartridge, pre-assembled into a delivery device, delivers 20 mcg of teriparatide per dose each day for up to 28 days.

  • General Medical Treatment and First
    5.9 FIRST AID AND GENERAL MEDICAL TREATMENT Aim The excellent care of the children at The Downs is a vital aspect of the school, indeed the safety, health and welfare of the pupils, including those in Early Years (EYFS), and its employees is a priority of the School. This policy is drawn up under reference to the DfE ‘Guidance on First Aid’ and ‘Guidance on the use of adrenaline auto-injectors in schools’. Objectives To make appropriate First Aid available to all members of the community as quickly and efficiently as is possible. To ensure that the Matrons and other members of staff are suitably qualified First Aiders. In regard to EYFS this will mean Paediatric training - First Aid is provided by competent adults. To ensure the appropriate medical resources are available as necessary To ensure the proper and effective keeping of records Matrons The Matrons at The Downs are responsible for the medical care of the children. The Matron’s are based in the Medical Room. This is in Charlton House at the top of the stairs. The department’s facilities also include a Sick Bay for those who need to go to bed. There are four Matrons, a least one being on duty at all times. The Matrons are all First Aid qualified, but it is often the case that they have worked in the nursing profession. They administer first aid, deal with accidents or emergencies and provide care if someone is taken ill. Many members of the teaching staff are also trained and qualified as First Aiders.

  • Adverse Events: the Role of Formulations and Delivery Systems

Drugs are often the smallest proportion of a medicine, and the variety of other ingredients within most dose forms is large. Some of these excipients serve more than one purpose and some have some biological activity. The reason we discuss in this textbook adverse events which may follow from administration of medicines is that some of the problems that arise are the result of excipients interacting physically or chemically with drugs or with themselves, or creating instability or, in some instances, having biological activity of their own. That activity may not be a direct pharmacological or toxicological action, though some agents, such as some non-ionic surfactants, may cause anaphylactic responses or affect drug absorption rates and extent by solubilisation effects or by acting on P-glycoprotein receptors, thus influencing bioavailability.

  • The Device Side of Combination Products Technical and Regulatory Challenges in Life Cycle Management
    The Device Side of Combination Products Technical and Regulatory Challenges in Life Cycle Management Bob Laughner Associate Director, Combination Products 04 May 2016 What are combination products? Combination Product Combination products are the combination of two or more regulated entities (e.g. drug/device, biologic/device). Each entity (constituent part) contributes one or more mode of action to the final product. Example: Prefilled syringe has at least two modes of action • Syringe = subcutaneous injection • Medication = pharmaceutical action A CP is generally approved by a regulator based on its primary mode of action (i.e. the mode that contributes the most important therapeutic effect) 3 Combination Product Types There are three types of combination products: 1. Single-entity (e.g. integral) 2. Co-packaged (e.g. kits) 3. Cross-labeled (e.g. virtual) 4 Combination Product Types Single-entity (e.g. integral) examples: • Prefilled drug delivery systems – Prefilled syringes – Prefilled autoinjectors – Prefilled pen injectors – Prefilled on-body delivery systems – Dry-powder inhalers – Metered dose inhalers – Prefilled nasal sprayers – Transdermal patches – Iontophoretic delivery systems 5 Combination Product Types Single-entity (e.g. integral) examples (cont.): • Medicated devices – Drug-coated stents – Drug-coated catheters – Drug-coated pacemaker leads – Antimicrobial surgical scrubs – Antimicrobial wound dressings – Antibiotic-impregnated surgical mesh – Antibiotic bone cements – Spermicidal condoms 6 Combination Product Types Co-packaged (e.g. kits) examples: • Convenience kits – Surgical trays with anesthetic and/or surgical scrub – Vial and syringe packs – Injector pen with user-loaded prefilled cartridge – Liquid medication with dose-dispenser • Other – Collagen sponge with bone morphogenic protein 7 Combination Product Types Co-labeled (e.g.

  • Drug Delivery Devices - Does the Toolkit Need Changing?
    Drug delivery devices - does the toolkit need changing? Getting drugs into the body to the target organs and tissues is not always easy. The concept of the swallowable pill that can survive the hostile conditions of the human digestive tract and yield its payload throughout the body at safe and efficacious levels is an ideal that cannot always be realized. Instead, over the last century, a range of devices has So is the toolkit good enough or does it need to evolved which are designed to deliver pharmaceutical change? Whatever your views are on the subject, ingredients more precisely, overcoming natural barriers there are signs that the industry is waking up to the and avoiding the body’s defences. So, in the standard possibility of some radical new approaches to drug drug developer’s toolkit, we have the hypodermic delivery, driven by a number of specific needs. Here needle syringe and its close relatives the injector pen are four examples of recent additions to the delivery and autoinjector for percutaneous delivery into dermis, toolkit: muscle and bloodstream.
