Egis Pharmaceuticals, Withdrawal of Three ANDAs
Summary
FDA is withdrawing approval of three abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) — ANDA 060453 (Ambix Laboratories), ANDA 074748 (Egis Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Captopril tablets), and ANDA 074808 (Egis Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Piroxicam capsules) — effective April 24, 2026. The withdrawal is based on the holders' repeated failure to submit required annual reports pursuant to 21 CFR 314.81 and 314.98. The ANDA holders did not respond to FDA's Notice of Opportunity for Hearing (NOOH) published December 29, 2025, constituting a waiver of the opportunity for a hearing.
ANDA holders subject to post-approval reporting obligations under 21 CFR 314.81 and 314.98 should audit their annual report submission status with FDA to confirm all approved applications are in good standing. The withdrawal here resulted from repeated non-compliance and non-response to a formal Notice of Opportunity for Hearing — demonstrating that FDA will proceed to withdrawal without a contested hearing when a holder fails to participate.

What changed
FDA is withdrawing approval of three ANDAs — ANDA 060453, ANDA 074748, and ANDA 074808 — held by Ambix Laboratories (Totowa, NJ) and Egis Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (Budapest, Hungary), effective April 24, 2026. The basis for withdrawal is repeated failure to submit required annual reports under 21 CFR 314.81 and 314.98, as well as the holders' waiver of their opportunity for a hearing following non-response to the NOOH.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers holding ANDAs must ensure ongoing compliance with annual reporting obligations under 21 CFR 314.81 and 314.98 to avoid similar withdrawal actions. The products affected — Bacitracin-neomycin sulfate-polymyxin B sulfate ointment, Captopril tablets (12.5 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg), and Piroxicam capsules (10 mg, 20 mg) — can no longer be lawfully marketed in the United States.

AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is withdrawing approval of three abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) from the holders of those ANDAs. The basis for the withdrawal is that the ANDA holders have repeatedly failed to file required annual reports for those ANDAs.
DATES:

Martha Nguyen, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 75, Rm. 1676, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-796-3471, Martha.Nguyen@fda.hhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The holder of an approved application to market a new drug for human use is required to submit annual reports to FDA concerning its approved application in accordance with §§ 314.81 and 314.98 (21 CFR 314.81 and 314.98).
In the Federal Register of December 29, 2025 (90 FR 60724), FDA published a notice offering an opportunity for a hearing (NOOH) on a proposal to withdraw approval of three ANDAs because the holders of these ANDAs had repeatedly failed to submit the required annual reports for these ANDAs. The holders of these ANDAs did not respond to the NOOH. Failure to file a written notice of participation and request for hearing as required by § 314.200 (21 CFR 314.200) constitutes a waiver of the opportunity for hearing by the holders of the ANDAs concerning the proposal to withdraw approval of the ANDAs and a waiver of any contentions concerning the legal status of the drug products. Therefore, FDA is withdrawing approval ( printed page 22157) of the three applications listed in Table 1 of this document.
| Application No. | Drug | Applicant |
|---|---|---|
| ANDA 060453 | Bacitracin-neomycin sulfate-polymyxin B sulfate ointment with diperodon hydrochloride | Ambix Laboratories, 55 West End Rd., Totowa, NJ 07512. |
| ANDA 074748 | Captopril tablet, 12.5 milligrams (mg), 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg | Egis Pharmaceuticals Ltd., 1475 Budapest 10 Pf. 100 Hungary. |
| ANDA 074808 | Piroxicam capsule, 10 mg and 20 mg | Do. |
FDA finds that the holders of the ANDAs listed in Table 1 have repeatedly failed to submit reports required by §§ 314.81 and 314.98. In addition, under § 314.200, FDA finds that the holders of the ANDAs have waived the opportunity for a hearing and any contentions concerning the legal status of the drug products. Therefore, based on these findings and pursuant to the authority under section 505(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(e)), approval of the ANDAs listed in Table 1 and all amendments and supplements thereto, is hereby withdrawn as of April 24, 2026.
Grace R. Graham,
Deputy Commissioner for Policy, Legislation, and International Affairs.
