minute modifications that impact a previously announced advisory

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Agenda: The meeting presentations will be heard, viewed, captioned, 
and recorded through an online teleconferencing platform. During the 
first session of September 22, 2022, the committee will discuss new 
drug application (NDA) 215643, for poziotinib tablets, submitted by 
Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The proposed indication (use) for this 
product is for the treatment of patients with previously treated, 
locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) 
harboring HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. Select patients with NSCLC 
for treatment with poziotinib based on the presence of HER2 exon 20 
insertion mutations using an FDA-approved test. During the second 
session of September 22, 2022, the committee will hear an update on new 
drug application (NDA) 214383, for PEPAXTO (melphalan flufenamide) for 
injection, submitted by Oncopeptides A.B. This product was approved 
under 21 CFR 314.500 (subpart H, accelerated approval regulations) for 
use in combination with dexamethasone for the treatment of adult 
patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received 
at least four prior lines of therapy and whose disease is refractory to 
at least one proteasome inhibitor, one immunomodulatory agent, and one 
CD38-directed monoclonal antibody. The confirmatory trial demonstrated 
a worse overall survival and failed to verify clinical benefit. 
Confirmatory studies are post-marketing studies to verify and describe 
the clinical benefit of a drug after it receives accelerated approval. 
Based on the updates provided, the committee will have a general 
discussion focused on next steps for the product.
    On September 23, 2022, the committee will hear an update on new 
drug application (NDA) 211155, for COPIKTRA (duvelisib) capsule, 
submitted by Secura Bio, Inc. This product was approved under section 
505(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) for use 
in the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory chronic 
lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma after at least two 
prior therapies. The update includes the final overall survival data 
from the DUO trial (IPI-145-07) submitted in response to post-marketing 
requirement 3494-3 detailed in the September 24, 2018 approval letter, 
available at <a href="https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/appletter/2018/211155Orig2s000ltr.pdf">https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/appletter/2018/211155Orig2s000ltr.pdf</a>. Based on the updated overall survival 
information along with the safety data with duvelisib, the committee 
will discuss a current assessment of benefit-risk.
    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 
<a href="https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm">https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm</a>. 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 September 8, 2022, will be provided to the 
committee. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled between 
approximately 11:40 a.m. to 12:10 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern 
Time on September 22, 2022. Oral presentations from the public will be 
scheduled between approximately 11:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Eastern Time 
on September 23, 2022. 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 30, 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 August 
31, 2022.
