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

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)

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.
