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 at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm and scroll down to the appropriate 
advisory committee meeting link, or call the advisory committee 
information line to learn about possible modifications before coming to 
the meeting.
    Agenda: The committees will be asked to discuss new drug 
application (NDA) 207621, oxycodone hydrochloride and naltrexone 
hydrochloride extended-release capsules, submitted by Pfizer, Inc., 
with the proposed indication of management of pain severe enough to 
require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment and for 
which alternative treatment options are inadequate. The product is an 
extended-release formulation intended to have abuse-deterrent 
properties based on the

[[Page 14452]]

presence of naltrexone, an opioid antagonist, in the formulation. The 
committees will be asked to discuss whether the data submitted by the 
Applicant are sufficient to support labeling of the product with the 
properties expected to deter abuse.
    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 
available at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting 
link.
    Procedure: On June 8, 2016, from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., the meeting 
is open to the public. Interested persons may present data, 
information, or views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before 
the committees. Written submissions may be made to the contact person 
on or before May 24, 2016. Oral presentations from the public will be 
scheduled between approximately 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Those individuals 
interested in making formal oral presentations should notify the 
contact person and submit a brief statement of the general nature of 
the evidence or arguments they wish to present, the names and addresses 
of proposed participants, and an indication of the approximate time 
requested to make their presentation on or before May 16, 2016. Time 
allotted for each presentation may be limited. If the number of 
registrants requesting to speak is greater than can be reasonably 
accommodated during the scheduled open public hearing session, FDA may 
conduct a lottery to determine the speakers for the scheduled open 
public hearing session. The contact person will notify interested 
persons regarding their request to speak by May 17, 2016.
    Closed Committee Deliberations: On June 8, 2016, from 8 a.m. to

development program of an investigational abuse-deterrent opioid 
product.

meetings and will make every effort to accommodate persons with
