Joint Meeting of the Anesthetic and Analgesic Drug Products 
Advisory Committee and the Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory 
Committee; Notice of Meeting

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice announces a forthcoming meeting of a public advisory 
committee of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). At least one 
portion of the meeting will be closed to the public.
    Name of Committees: Joint meeting of the Anesthetic and Analgesic 
Drug Products Advisory Committee and the Drug Safety and Risk 
Management Advisory Committee.
    General Function of the Committees: To provide advice and 
recommendations to the Agency on FDA's regulatory issues.
    Date and Time: The meeting will be held on September 11, 2015, from 
8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
    Location: FDA White Oak Campus, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 31 
Conference Center, the Great Room (Rm. 1503), Silver Spring, MD 20993-
0002. Answers to commonly asked questions including information 
regarding special accommodations due to a disability, visitor parking, 
and transportation may be accessed at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/AboutAdvisoryCommittees/ucm408555.htm.
    Contact Person: Stephanie L. Begansky, Center for Drug Evaluation 
and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., 
Bldg. 31, Rm. 2417, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-796-9001, Fax: 
301-847-8533, email: AADPAC@fda.hhs.gov, or FDA Advisory Committee 
Information Line, 1-800-741-8138 (301-443-0572 in the Washington, DC 
area). 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 committees will discuss new drug application (NDA) 
208090, oxycodone extended-release capsules for oral use, submitted by 
Collegium Pharmaceuticals, proposed for the management of pain severe 
enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment 
and for which alternative options are inadequate. This product has been 
formulated with the intent to provide abuse-deterrent properties. 
Pharmacokinetic data demonstrate that, in order to deliver the intended 
amount of oxycodone, the drug product must be taken with food. The 
committees will be asked to discuss the potential safety risks and the 
potential effects on efficacy associated with the extent of the food 
effect, and potential fluctuations in oxycodone levels that may occur 
if the product is not taken consistently with the same amount of food. 
In addition, the committees will be asked to review and discuss whether 
the data characterizing the abuse-deterrent properties support the 
likelihood that this drug product will have a meaningful effect on 
abuse and whether potential benefits to the public from abuse-deterrent 
properties outweigh potential risks to patients from the effect of 
food. The committees will be asked to vote on whether this product 
should be approved for marketing in the United States.
    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 meeting 
link.
    Procedure: On September 11, 2015, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., the 
meeting is

open to the public. Interested persons may present data, information, 
or views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the 
committees. Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or 
before August 27, 2015. Oral presentations from the public will be 
scheduled approximately between 1 p.m. and 2 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 August 19, 2015. 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 August 20, 2015.
    Closed Presentation of Data: On September 11, 2015, 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 product.

meetings and will make every effort to accommodate persons with
