FDA Approval Summary: Capecitabine Labeling Update under Project Renewal
On December 14, 2022, the FDA approved revisions to the United States Prescribing Information (USPI) for capecitabine that revised existing indications and dosage regimens, added new indications and their recommended dosage regimens, revised safety information, updated the description of the risk of capecitabine in patients with dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency, and edited other sections of the USPI to conform with FDA's current labeling guidance. These supplements were reviewed and approved under Project Renewal, a public health initiative established by the FDA's Oncology Center of Excellence that aims to update the prescribing information of certain older oncology drugs to ensure information is clinically meaningful and scientifically up to date. This article summarizes the FDA approach that supported revisions to the capecitabine USPI within the context of Project Renewal.
