committee information line to learn about possible modifications before 
the meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Agenda: The meeting presentations will be heard, viewed, captioned, 
and recorded through an online teleconferencing and/or video 
conferencing platform. The Committee will discuss supplemental 
biologics license application (sBLA) 761069/S-043, for IMFINZI 
(durvalumab) injection, submitted by AstraZeneca UK Limited. The 
proposed indication (use) is IMFINZI in combination with chemotherapy 
as neoadjuvant treatment, followed by IMFINZI as monotherapy after 
surgery, for the treatment of adult patients with resectable non-small 
cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The Committee will also be asked to discuss 
whether drug sponsors should be required to adequately justify 
treatment of patients both before and after surgery for resectable 
NSCLC prior to an approval that would include both neoadjuvant and 
adjuvant therapy.
    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 on FDA's website at 
the time of the advisory committee meeting. Background material and the 
link to the online teleconference and/or video conference meeting will 
be available at https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting 
link. The meeting will include slide presentations with audio and video 
components to allow the presentation of materials for online 
participants in a manner that most closely resembles an in-person 
advisory committee meeting.
    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or 
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the Committee. 
All electronic and written submissions to the Docket (see ADDRESSES) on 
or before July 11, 2024, will be provided to the Committee. Oral 
presentations from the public will be scheduled between approximately 
12:15 p.m. and 1:15 p.m. Eastern Time and will take place entirely 
through an online meeting platform. 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 July 2, 2024. 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 July 3, 2024.
    For press inquiries, please contact the Office of Media Affairs at 
[email protected] or 301-796-4540.
