1 INTRODUCTION On August 28, 2017, Scilex Pharmaceuticals Inc. submitted for the Agency’s review a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (NDA) 207962 for ZTLIDO (lidocaine topical system) which references NDA 020612 Lidoderm Patch 5%. This application is a Class 2 resubmission in response to an Agency-issued Complete Response (CR) letter sent to the Applicant on May 10, 2016 due to several deficiencies. The proposed indication for ZTLIDO (lidocaine topical system) is for the relief of pain associated with post-herpetic neuralgia.

This collaborative review is written by the Division of Medical Policy Programs (DMPP) and the Office of Prescription Drug Promotion (OPDP) in response to a request by the Division of Anesthesia, Analgesia, and Addiction Products (DAAAP) on January 30, 2018 for DMPP and September 15, 2017 for OPDP to review the Applicant’s proposed Patient Package Insert (PPI) and Instructions for Use (IFU) for ZTLIDO (lidocaine topical system).

2 MATERIAL REVIEWED

x Draft ZTLIDO (lidocaine topical system) PPI and IFU received on August 28, 2017, and received by DMPP on January 30, 2018 and OPDP on January 31, 2018

x Draft ZTLIDO (lidocaine topical system) Prescribing Information (PI) received on August 28, 2017, revised by the Review Division throughout the review cycle, and received by DMPP on January 31, 2018 and OPDP on January 31, 2018

3 REVIEW METHODS To enhance patient comprehension, materials should be written at a 6th to 8th grade reading level, and have a reading ease score of at least 60%. A reading ease score of 60% corresponds to an 8th grade reading level.

Additionally, in 2008 the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists Foundation (ASCP) in collaboration with the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) published Guidelines for Prescription Labeling and Consumer Medication Information for People with Vision Loss. The ASCP and AFB recommended using fonts such as Verdana, Arial or APHont to make medical information more accessible for patients with vision loss. We reformatted the PPI and IFU document using the Arial font, size 10.

In our collaborative review of the PPI and IFU we:

x simplified wording and clarified concepts where possible

x ensured that the PPI and IFU is consistent with the Prescribing Information (PI)

x removed unnecessary or redundant information

x ensured that the PPI and IFU is free of promotional language or suggested revisions to ensure that it is free of promotional language

Page 6: APPLICATION NUMBER...1 INTRODUCTION On August 28, 2017, Scilex Pharmaceuticals Inc. submitted for the Agency’s review a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (NDA) 207962 for ZTLIDO (lidocaine

x ensured that the PPI and IFU meets the criteria as specified in FDA’s Guidance for Useful Written Consumer Medication Information (published July 2006)

4 CONCLUSIONS The PPI and IFU are acceptable with our recommended changes.

5 RECOMMENDATIONS

x Please send these comments to the Applicant and copy DMPP and OPDP on the correspondence.

x Our collaborative review of the PPI and IFU is appended to this memorandum. Consult DMPP and OPDP regarding any additional revisions made to the PI to determine if corresponding revisions need to be made to the PPI and IFU.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Subject: OPDP labeling comments for ZTlidoTM (lidocaine topical system)

NDA/BLA: NDA 207962

In response to DAAAP’s consult request dated September 15, 2017, OPDP has reviewed the proposed product labeling (PI), patient package insert (PPI)/Instructions for Use and carton and container labeling for the original NDA/BLA submission for ZTlido.

PI and PPI/Medication Guide/IFU: OPDP’s comments on the proposed labeling are based on the draft PI received by electronic mail from DAAAP on January 31, 2018, and are provided below.

A combined OPDP and Division of Medical Policy Programs (DMPP) review will be completed, and comments on the proposed PPI/Medication Guide/IFU will be sent under separate cover.

Carton and Container Labeling: OPDP has reviewed the attached proposed carton and container labeling submitted by the Sponsor to the electronic document room on November 17, 2017, and we have the following comments:

OPDP recommends revising the step by step directions for use included on the carton and container labels/labeling in a manner consistent with the step by step directions included in the instructions for use patient labeling document. For example, revise the labels and labeling to include material information such as, but not limited to, the following: x “ZTLIDO should only be applied to clean, dry, and intact skin to cover the most painful area”

Date of This Memorandum: January 29, 2018

Requesting Office or Division: Division of Anesthesia, Analgesia, and Addiction Products (DAAAP)

Application Type and Number: NDA 207962

Product Name and Strength: Ztlido (lidocaine topical system), 1.8%

1 PURPOSE OF MEMO We previously provided recommendations in our label and labeling review for Ztlido (lidocaine topical system).a Our review included a recommendation to add a strength equivalency statement to the principal display panel of the container label and carton labeling to indicate that Ztlido 1.8% provides equivalent lidocaine exposure as Lidoderm 5%, despite the difference in strength. However, since our previous review, we have had internal discussions with the Office of Policy for Pharmaceutical Quality (OPPQ) and DAAAP and determined that a different version of the equivalency statement would better convey this message. Thus, we provide recommendations for Scilex Pharmaceuticals below.

2 CONCLUSION We revised our recommendations regarding the strength equivalency statement for the container label and carton labeling to promote safe use of this product.

3 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SCILEX PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. We recommend the Applicant implement the following prior to approval of this NDA:

A. Container Label and Carton Labeling (including Professional Sample) 1. There is risk for medication errors because the strength of Ztlido (1.8%) is lower than

the listed drug, Lidoderm (5%). Thus, users may interpret the lower strength of Ztlido as being less potent than Lidoderm, to which Ztlido provides equivalent lidocaine exposure. Therefore, we recommend you provide further information about this equivalency, by adding an asterisk after the strength statement (1.8%*) and by adding the following statement under the statement “For topical use only” on the principal display panel:

“*One Ztlido (lidocaine topical system) 1.8% provides equivalent lidocaine exposure to one Lidoderm® (lidocaine patch 5%).”

Use the same font size and style for the statement above as the other information presented after the statement “For topical use only.”

1 REASON FOR REVIEW

This review provides our evaluation of the proposed labels and labeling for Ztlido (lidocaine topical system) 1.8% from a medication error perspective. The Division of Anesthesia, Analgesia, and Addiction Products (DAAAP) requested this review as part of their evaluation of the 505(b)(2) NDA submission for Ztlido.

2 MATERIALS REVIEWED

We considered the materials listed in Table 1 for this review. The Appendices provide the methods and results for each material reviewed.

N/A=not applicable for this review *We do not typically search FAERS for our label and labeling reviews unless we are aware of medication errors through our routine postmarket safety surveillance

3 OVERALL ASSESSMENT OF THE MATERIALS REVIEWED

We performed a risk assessment of the proposed container labels, carton labeling, and prescribing information to identify deficiencies that may lead to medication errors and to identify other areas that can be improved.

Container Label and Carton Labeling

Our review of the container label and carton labeling determined that there may be risk of confusion due to the strength of Ztlido (1.8%) being lower than the strength of the listed drug, Lidoderm (5%), to which Ztlido is bioequivalent. Due to differences in formulations, Ztlido 1.8% has the same therapeutic effect as Lidoderm 5%. The concern is that users may interpret the lower strength of Ztlido to be less potent than Lidoderm, which may lead to medication errors. We concur with the Office of Pharmaceutical Quality (OPQ) that a labeling statement is necessary to convey that Ztlido is equivalent to topical systems that contain lidocaine 5%. Therefore, we recommend the Applicant add the following statement in large, red font immediately after the strength statement on the container label and carton labeling: “*Equivalent to other topical systems containing 5% lidocaine.”

Our review of the prescribing information identified the statement, “ ” under the Dosage Forms and Strengths section. This statement may lead to

(b) (4)

We do not have recommendations to the patient instructions on the carton labeling at this time; however, if the Patient Labeling Team (PLT) makes changes to the patient instructions, we recommend those changes be implemented on the carton label for consistency and to minimize the risk for confusion.

confusion because the strength is 1.8%. Thus, we recommend

(b) (4)

removing this statement to minimize the risk for confusion.

To minimize the risk for medication errors due to the lower strength of Ztlido compared to the listed drug, Lidoderm, and appearing less potent, we recommend adding the statement, “One Ztlido (lidocaine topical system) 1.8% provides equivalent lidocaine exposure to one Lidoderm® (lidocaine patch 5%)” to the Dosage and Administration section of the Highlights of Prescribing Information. Additionally, we recommend relocating the statement, “Because of the difference in bioavailability of ZTlido compared to Lidoderm® (lidocaine patch 5%), a different dosage strength is required to be administered to the patient. One ZTlido (lidocaine topical system) 1.8% provides equivalent lidocaine exposure to one Lidoderm® (lidocaine patch 5%).” from its current location at the end of the Dosage and Administration section of the Full Prescribing Information to a more prominent location at the beginning of the Dosage and Administration section.

4 CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS

We identified areas in the proposed container label, carton labeling, and prescribing information that can be improved to promote the safe use of this product.

If you have further questions or need clarifications, please contact Davis Mathew, OSE Project Manager, at 240-402-4559.

4.1 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE DIVISION

We provide recommendations below for review and consideration by DAAAP.

A. Highlights of Prescribing and Full Prescribing Information 1. We recommend removing the statement, “

under the Dosage Forms and Strengths section. This statement may lead to ” (b) (4)

confusion because the strength is 1.8%. (b) (4)

2. We recommend adding the statement, “One Ztlido (lidocaine topical system) 1.8% provides equivalent lidocaine exposure to one Lidoderm® (lidocaine patch 5%)” to the Dosage and Administration section of the Highlights of Prescribing Information to minimize the risk for medication errors due to the lower strength of Ztlido compared to the listed drug, Lidoderm, and appearing less potent.

3. We recommend relocating the statement, “Because of the difference in bioavailability of ZTlido compared to Lidoderm® (lidocaine patch 5%), a different dosage strength is required to be administered to the patient. One ZTlido (lidocaine topical system) 1.8% provides equivalent lidocaine exposure to one Lidoderm® (lidocaine patch 5%).” from its current location at the end of the Dosage and Administration section of the Full Prescribing Information to a more prominent location at the beginning of the Dosage and Administration section.

4.2 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SCILEX PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

A. Container Label and Carton Labeling (including Professional Sample) 1. There is risk for medication errors because the strength of Ztlido (1.8%) is lower than

the listed drug, Lidoderm (5%). Thus, users may interpret the lower strength of Ztlido as being less potent than Lidoderm, to which Ztlido is bioequivalent. Therefore, we recommend you add the following statement in large, red font immediately following the strength statement: ZTlido (lidocaine topical system) 1.8%* *Equivalent to other topical systems containing 5% lidocaine

1 REASON FOR REVIEW Scilex Pharmaceuticals submitted NDA 207962 for Ztlido (lidocaine) topical patch. Thus, the Division of Anesthesia, Analgesia, and Addiction Products (DAAAP) requested we evaluate the container labels, carton labeling, instruction for use (IFU), and prescribing information (PI) for vulnerabilities that could lead to medication errors.

2 MATERIALS REVIEWED We considered the materials listed in Table 1 for this review. The Appendices provide the methods and results for each material reviewed.

Table 1. Materials Considered for this Label and Labeling Review

Material Reviewed Appendix Section (for Methods and Results)

Product Information/Prescribing Information A

Previous DMEPA Reviews B

Human Factors Study C-(N/A)

ISMP Newsletters D-(N/A)

FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS)* E-(N/A)

Labels and Labeling F

Prescribing Information G

N/A=not applicable for this review *We do not typically search FAERS for label and labeling reviews unless we are aware of medication errors through our routine postmarket safety surveillance

3 OVERALL ASSESSMENT OF THE MATERIALS REVIEWED We performed a risk assessment of the proposed container labels, carton labeling, PI, and IFU to identify deficiencies that may lead to medication errors and other areas for improvement.

Container Labels and Carton Labeling Our review of the container labels and carton labeling identified areas for improvement to increase clarity and prominence of important information. Thus, we provide recommendations in Section 4.2.

Prescribing Information (PI) Our review of the PI determined that the strength ( (b) (4)) is inconsistent with the strength presented on the container label and carton labeling. Therefore, we recommend revising the strength to 1.8% throughout the PI so that it is consistent with the container labels and carton labeling.

4 CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS We identified areas in the proposed labels and labeling that can be improved to increase clarity and prominence of important information to promote the safe use of this product.

If you have further questions or need clarifications, please contact Davis Mathew, OSE Project Manager, at 240-402-4559.

4.1 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE DIVISION

We have revised the Prescribing Information (See Appendix G) and have provided a detailed summary below for review and consideration by DAAAP.

A. Prescribing information 1. We recommend revising the current strength presentation ( (b) (4)) to 1.8% throughout

the prescribing information so that it is consistent with the container label and carton labeling.

4.2 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SCILEX PHARMACEUTICALS We recommend the Applicant implement the following prior to approval of this NDA:

A. Carton labeling (30-patch package size and (b) (4)patch physician sample package size)

1. Change the font color of the established name and strength from (b) (4) to black to increase its prominence.1

2. Remove (b) (4) in accordance with 21 CFR 202.1(a)(1). As currently presented, it interferes with the ability to read the lowercase “i” in the proprietary name, ZTlido.

3. Decrease the size of the Rx only statement by decreasing its size. Relocate the Rx only statement to the bottom right corner of the principal display panel. As currently presented, the Rx only statement appears more prominent than other more important information.2

4. Revise the statement, “ ” to read, to match the

(b) (4)

(b) (4)

strength presentation with the established name.
