published quickly

enough to provide timely notice. Therefore, you should always check
FDA's website at <a href="https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm">https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm</a> and
scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting link, or call
the advisory committee information line to learn about possible
modifications before the meeting.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Agenda: The meeting presentations will be
heard, viewed, captioned, and recorded through an online
teleconferencing platform. The committee will discuss postmarketing
requirement 3033-11, issued to application holders of new drug
applications (NDAs) for extended-release and long-acting opioid
analgesics to evaluate long-term efficacy of opioid analgesics and the
risk of opioid-induced hyperalgesia. The discussion will focus on a
clinical trial designed to address these objectives.
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 to the Docket (see ADDRESSES) on
or before April 6, 2023, will be provided to the committee. Oral
presentations from the public will be scheduled between approximately
1:30 p.m. and 2:30 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 March 28, 2023. 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 March 29, 2023.
