Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New 
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 31, Rm. 2417, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-
796-7973, Fax: 301-847-8533, email: [email protected], 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 FDA's website at 
https://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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Agenda: The meeting presentations will be heard, viewed, captioned, 
and recorded through an online teleconferencing platform. The committee 
will hear an update on supplemental new drug application 208447/S-025, 
for ZEJULA (niraparib) capsules, submitted by GlaxoSmithKline, LLC., 
for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with recurrent 
epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who 
are in a complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy. 
The update includes the final overall survival data from the NOVA 
trial. Based on the information provided, the committee will consider 
whether the indication should remain in the U.S. labeling.
    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 website prior to the meeting, the 
background material will be made publicly available on FDA's website at 
the time of the advisory committee meeting. Background material and the 
link to the online teleconference meeting room will be available at 
https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll 
down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting link. The meeting 
will include slide presentations with audio components to allow the 
presentation of materials in a manner that most closely resembles an 
in-person advisory committee meeting.
    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or 
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the committee. 
All electronic and written submissions submitted to the Docket (see 
ADDRESSES) on or before November 7, 2022, will be provided to the 
committee. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled between 
approximately 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Eastern Time. 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 October 28, 2022. 
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 October 31, 2022.
    For press inquiries, please contact the Office of Media Affairs at 
[email protected] or 301-796-4540.
    FDA welcomes the attendance of the public at its advisory committee 
meetings and will make every effort to accommodate persons with 
disabilities. If you require accommodations due to a disability, please 
contact Joyce Frimpong (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT) at least 7 
days in advance of the meeting.
    FDA is committed to the orderly conduct of its advisory committee 
meetings. Please visit our website at https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/AboutAdvisoryCommittees/ucm111462.htm for procedures 
on public conduct during advisory committee meetings.
    Notice of this meeting is given under the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act (5 U.S.C. app. 2).

    Dated: September 15, 2022.
