Please call the Information Line for up-to-date information on this
meeting. 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 and
call the appropriate advisory committee hot line/phone line to learn
about possible modifications before coming to the meeting.
Agenda: On July 26, 2011, the committee will discuss presentations
by the Office of Generic Drugs (OGD) on bioequivalence issues and
quality standards relative to narrow therapeutic index (NTI) drug
products as a class. In response to feedback during the April 13, 2010,
Advisory Committee for Pharmaceutical Science and Clinical Pharmacology
(ACPS-CP) meeting, the committee will further discuss the definition
and list of NTI drugs, as well as proposed bioequivalence standards for
these products. The committee will also receive awareness presentations
relevant to OGD's ongoing focus on quality and safety of generic drug
products. Presentations will outline current activities seeking to
better understand the impact of formulation and quality on the
performance of generic drug products and current thinking related to
potential regulatory pathways for these issues.
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 July
19, 2011. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled between
approximately 11 a.m. to 12 noon, and 4:30 p.m. to 5 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 July
12, 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 July 13, 2011.
