Meeting of the FDA Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee

Agenda

The meeting presentations will be heard, viewed, captioned, and recorded through an online teleconferencing platform. The committee will hear updates on new drug applications (NDAs) approved under 21 CFR 314.500 (subpart H, accelerated approval regulations) that have not verified clinical benefit. This update will provide information on: (1) the status and results of confirmatory clinical studies for a given indication and (2) any ongoing and planned trials. 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 each product including whether the indications should remain on the market while additional trial(s) are conducted.

Specifically, the committee will receive updates on the following products: (1) NDA 205353, FARYDAK (panobinostat) capsules, submitted by Secura Bio, Inc., indicated in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone, for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least two prior regimens, including bortezomib and an immunomodulatory agent and (2) NDA 202497, MARQIBO (vincristine sulfate LIPOSOME injection) for intravenous infusion, submitted by Acrotech Biopharma LLC, indicated for the treatment of adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome negative (Ph-) acute lymphoblastic leukemia in second or greater relapse or whose disease has progressed following two or more anti-leukemia therapies.

Meeting Materials

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: 2021 Meeting Materials, Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee.
