Citing a Pending Suitability Petition as a Basis of Submission
If an applicant submits a copy of, or refers to, a pending suitability petition, FDA will refuse-to- receive the ANDA because of the lack of a legal basis for the submission. [31] An ANDA can rely on a suitability petition as a basis of submission only after the petition has been approved by FDA. ANDAs can be submitted for drug products that differ from the listed drug, provided that a suitability petition requesting a change is submitted pursuant to section 505(j)(2)(C) of the FD&C Act and in accordance with 21 CFR 314.93 and 10.30, and the suitability petition is approved by FDA. The changes (from the RLD) that can be requested in a suitability petition are:
Change in route of administration
Change in dosage form
Change in strength
One active ingredient is substituted for one of the active ingredients in a listed combination drug
