SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Agenda: During the morning session, the particular matter for this 
meeting will be review and discussion of the FDA Reauthorization Act of 
2017 (FDARA) mandated Relevant Pediatric Molecular Target List now 
posted on the FDA website: https://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/OfficeofMedicalProductsandTobacco/OCE/ucm544641.htm. FDA is required by 
statute to review and update the previously approved and published 
lists. The focus of the discussion will be limited to two target 
``classes'' included in the Relevant Pediatric Molecular Target List: 
(1) Targets linked to cell lineage and (2) targets on normal immune 
cells and cells in the tumor microenvironment. Planned introductory 
presentations will be on: (1) Cell-based therapy approaches to 
childhood cancer and (2) novel membrane antigen determinants in 
pediatric tumors.
    During the afternoon session, information will be presented to 
gauge investigator interest in exploring potential pediatric 
development plans for two products in various stages of development for 
adult cancer indications. The subcommittee will consider and discuss 
issues concerning diseases to be studied, patient populations to be 
included, and possible study designs in the development of these 
products for pediatric use. The discussion will also provide 
information to the Agency pertinent to the formulation of written 
requests for pediatric studies, if appropriate. The products under 
consideration are: (1) ONC201, presentation by Oncoceutics Inc., and 
(2) CD24Fc, presentation by OncoImmune, Inc.
    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 website 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
