Meeting Details:

The committee will discuss supplemental biologics license application (sBLA) 125526 for mepolizumab for injection, submitted by GlaxoSmithKline for add-on treatment to inhaled corticosteroid-based maintenance treatment for the reduction of exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) guided by blood eosinophil counts.

Meeting Details:

The committee will discuss new drug application (NDA) 210607, tafenoquine tablet, 100 milligram (mg), sponsored by 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, LLC, for the proposed indication of prevention of malaria in adults for up to 6 months of continuous dosing.

Meeting Details:

The committee will discuss new drug application (NDA) 207356, amikacin liposome inhalation suspension, sponsored by Insmed, Inc., for the proposed indication of treatment of nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease caused by Mycobacterium avium complex in adults as part of a combination antibacterial drug regimen.

Meeting Details:

The committee will discuss new drug application (NDA) 210795, tafenoquine tablet, 150 milligram, sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline Intellectual Property Development Ltd., England, for the proposed indication of the radical cure (prevention of relapse) of Plasmodium vivax malaria.

Meeting Details:

The committees will discuss new drug application 022324, oxycodone extended-release capsules, submitted by Pain Therapeutics, with the proposed indication of the management of pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment and for which alternative treatment options are inadequate. The product is intended to have abuse-deterrent properties based on its physicochemical properties. The committees will be asked to discuss whether the data submitted by the Applicant are sufficient to support labeling of the product with the properties expected to deter abuse. Closed Committee Deliberations: On June 26, 2018, from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., the meeting will be closed to permit discussion and review of trade secret and/or confidential commercial information (5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4)). During this session, the committees will discuss the drug development program of an investigational opioid formulation with properties designed to deter abuse.

Meeting Details:

The particular matter for this meeting will be review and discussion of a list of molecular targets for which evidence and/or biologic rationale exist to determine their potential relevance to the growth or progression of one or more pediatric cancers and a list of those targets deemed unlikely to be associated with the growth or progression of pediatric tumors. These lists are expected to fulfill the statutory obligation of the Food and Drug Administration Reauthorization Act (FDARA) and provide some guidance to industry in planning for initial Pediatric Study Plan submissions for new drug and/or biologic products in development for cancer in accordance with the amended provisions of the Pediatric Research Equity Act. The committee will review and discuss considerations other than scientific relevance that FDA will include in decision making with respect to the need and timing of pediatric evaluation of specific new drug and biologic products. The committee will discuss possible criteria and mechanisms for the prioritization by sponsors and the clinical investigator community of select targeted new agents for pediatric evaluation especially in the setting of multiple same in class agents. Preliminary discussion will focus on approaches to coordination and collaboration for pediatric clinical investigations of new agents that might be pursued to efficiently accommodate international regulatory requirements and global pediatric product development. The open public hearing sessions are: Topic 1: Target List, Topic 2: FDARA Implementation, and Topic 3: Mechanisms to Assure Efficiency and to Enhance Global Coordination Through International Collaboration.
