This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is withdrawing approval of a new drug application (NDA) for Wellcovorin (leucovorin calcium) tablets, EQ 5 mg base and EQ 25 mg base, held by GlaxoSmithKline, LLC, 2020 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104 (GSK). GSK notified the Agency in writing that the drug products were no longer marketed and requested that the approval of the applications be withdrawn.
DATES:
Approval is withdrawn as of April 10, 2026.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kimberly Thomas, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-796-3601,
druginfo@fda.hhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
GSK has informed FDA that for Wellcovorin (leucovorin calcium) tablets, EQ 5 mg base and EQ 25 mg base, is no longer marketed and have requested that FDA withdraw approval of the applications under the process in § 314.150(c) (21 CFR 314.150(c)). GSK has also, by their requests, waived their opportunity for a hearing. Withdrawal of approval of an application or abbreviated application under § 314.150(c) is without prejudice to refiling.
Therefore, approval of NDA 018342, and all amendments and supplements thereto, is hereby withdrawn as of April 10, 2026. Approval of the entire application is withdrawn, including any strengths and dosage forms inadvertently missing from this notice. Introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of Wellcovorin (leucovorin calcium) tablets, EQ 5 mg base and EQ 25 mg base, without an approved NDA violates sections 505(a) and 301 (d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(a) and 331(d)). Any Wellcovorin (leucovorin calcium) tablets, EQ 5 mg base and EQ 25 mg base, that is in inventory on April 10, 2026 may continue to be dispensed until the inventories have been depleted or the drug products have reached their expiration dates or otherwise become violative, whichever occurs first.
