meeting. A 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 and 
call the appropriate advisory committee hot line/phone line to learn 
about possible modifications before coming to the meeting.
    Agenda: The committee will discuss the following new drug 
applications (NDAs): (1) NDA 022-042, EVISTA (raloxifene hydrochloride) 
Tablets, Eli Lilly and Co., proposed indications for the reduction in

Inc., proposed indication for the treatment of patients with androgen 
independent (hormone refractory) prostate cancer (HRPC) that has failed 
prior chemotherapy.
    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

    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or

public hearing session. The contact person will notify interested 
persons regarding their request to speak by July 3, 2007.
