    Agenda: On October 18, 2006, the subcommittee will: (1) Receive an 
update on previous Clinical Pharmacology Subcommittee meeting 
recommendations and an introduction to three new topics of this 
meeting; (2) discuss and provide comments on the first new topic: The 
scope and strength of evidence to support the inclusion of 
pharmacogenetic information on Cytochrome P2D6 polymorphisms in a 
revision of the label for tamoxifen to improve the benefit/risk of the 
drug; and (3) discuss and provide comments on the second new topic: 
evaluation of transporter-based drug interactions. On October 19, 2006, 
the subcommittee will consider the third new topic: The impact of using 
prior knowledge on drug development and regulatory decisions. Prior 
knowledge of disease change over time and covariates, placebo variation 
and drug effects can be used to make better decisions and design more 
informative clinical trials. Examples will be used to demonstrate these 
principles.
    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or 
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the subcommittee. 
Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or before
