AGENCY:  Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION:  Notice.

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an amendment 
to the notice of a meeting of the Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee. 
This meeting was announced in the Federal Register of November 17, 2009 
(74 FR 59195). The amendment is being made to reflect a change in the 
Date and Time, Agenda, and Procedure portions of the document. We also 
are cancelling a session regarding supplemental new drug application 
(sNDA) 022-059/S-007, TYKERB (lapatinib) tablets, by SmithKline Beecham 
Ltd. d/b/a GlaxoSmithKline. This portion of the meeting has been 
cancelled because the issues for which FDA was seeking the scientific 
input of the Committee have been resolved.
