`
`Attention: Nickie V. Kilgore, D.V.M.
`
`Director, Worldwide Regulatory Strategy
`
`Dear Dr. Kilgore:
`
`Please refer to your Supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) dated January 18, 2013,
`received January 18, 2013, submitted under section 505(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and
`Cosmetic Act (FDCA) for Xeljanz (tofacitinib) Tablets, 5 mg.
`
`We acknowledge receipt of your amendments dated February 6, May 2, 21, 28, and 30, June 21,
`October 28, and November 12, 2013.
`
`This Prior Approval supplemental new drug application provides the inclusion of language in the
`package insert regarding the improvement in general health status, assessed by the Short Form
`
`health survey (SF-36).
`
`APPROVAL & LABELING
`
`
`We have completed our review of this supplemental application, as amended. It is approved,
`effective on the date of this letter, for use as recommended in the enclosed, agreed-upon labeling
`text.
`
`
`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, 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

`CM072392.pdf.
`
`The SPL will be accessible from publicly available labeling repositories.
`
`Also within 14 days, amend all pending supplemental applications that includes 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 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).
`
`REQUIRED PEDIATRIC ASSESSMENTS
`
`Under the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA) (21 U.S.C. 355c), all applications for new
`active ingredients, 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(s) 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.
`
`REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
`
`
`We remind you that you must comply with reporting requirements for an approved NDA
`(21 CFR 314.80 and 314.81).
`
`If you have any questions, call Philantha Bowen, Senior Regulatory Project Management Officer
`at (301) 796-2466.
