800-741-8138 (301-443-0572 in the Washington, DC area), to find out 
further information regarding FDA advisory committee information. A 
notice in the Federal Register about last minute modifications that 
impact a previously announced advisory committee meeting cannot always 
be published quickly enough to provide timely notice. Therefore, you 
should always check the Agency's Web site at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm and scroll down to the appropriate 
advisory committee meeting link, or call the advisory committee 
information line to learn about possible modifications before coming to 
the meeting.
    Agenda: The subcommittee will receive a presentation on pediatric 
provisions mandated by the Food and Drug Administration Safety and 
Innovation Act. This will be an awareness presentation and there will 
not be a formal Committee discussion or recommendation. In addition, 
information will be presented regarding pediatric development plans for 
four products that are in development for an adult oncology indication. 
The subcommittee will consider and discuss issues relating to the 
development of each product for pediatric use and provide guidance to 
facilitate the formulation of written requests for pediatric studies, 
if appropriate. The four products under consideration are: (1) 
Trametinib, application submitted by GlaxoSmithKline, LLC; (2) TH-302, 
application submitted by Threshold Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; (3) 
volasertib (BI 6727), application submitted by Boehringer Ingelheim 
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; and (4) blinatumomab (MT 103), application 
submitted by Amgen Inc.
    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 
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the committee. 
Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or before 
November 19, 2012. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled 
between approximately 9:15 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., 11:15 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., 
2:05 p.m. to 2:20 p.m., and 4:10 p.m. to 4:25 p.m. Those individuals 
interested in making formal oral presentations should notify the 
contact person and submit a brief statement of the general 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 8, 2012. 
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 9, 2012.

that the Agency is not responsible for providing access to electrical 
outlets.

meetings and will make every effort to accommodate persons with 
physical disabilities or special needs. If you require special 
accommodations due to a disability, please contact Minh Doan at least 7 
days in advance of the meeting.
