Drugs Advisory Committee would be held on April 15, 2015. On page 
10700, in the first column, the Agenda portion of the document is 
changed to read as follows:
    The committee will discuss the new drug application (NDA) 204958, 
cangrelor injection, submitted by The Medicines Company, for the 
proposed indication of reduction of thrombotic cardiovascular events in 
patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous 
coronary intervention (PCI)--(PCI refers to the opening of narrowed 
blood vessels supplying the heart muscle by a balloon inserted through 
an artery puncture with or without a stent) who have not received an 
oral P2Y12 inhibitor prior to the PCI procedure and in whom oral 
therapy with P2Y12 inhibitors is not feasible or desirable (P2Y12 is a 
protein involved in blood clotting. Inhibiting this protein is a key 
mechanism of action of cangrelor).
    This notice is issued under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 
U.S.C. app. 2) and 21 CFR part 14, relating to the advisory committees.

    Dated: March 12, 2015.
