advisory committee hot line/phone line to learn about possible 
modifications before coming to the meeting.
    Agenda: On December 7, 2011, during the morning session, the

proposed trade name Inlyta (axitinib) tablets, application submitted by 
Pfizer, Inc. The proposed indication (use) for this product is for the

indication (use) for this product is for the treatment of anemia 
associated with chronic renal failure in adult patients on dialysis.
    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no 
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post 
the background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, the 
background material will be made publicly available at the location of 
the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be 
posted on FDA's Web site after the meeting. Background material is 
available at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee link.
    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or

between approximately 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., and 3:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. 
Those individuals interested in making formal oral presentations should

nature of the evidence or arguments they wish to present, the names and 
addresses of proposed participants, and an indication of the 
approximate time requested to make their presentation on or before 
November 14, 2011. Time allotted for each presentation may be limited. 
If the number of registrants requesting to speak is greater than can be 
reasonably accommodated during the scheduled open public hearing 
session, FDA may conduct a lottery to determine the speakers for the 
scheduled open public hearing session. The contact person will notify 
interested persons regarding their request to speak by November 15, 
2011.
