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: 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) ABT-414, application 
submitted by AbbVie, Inc., and (2) Lenvatinib, application submitted by 
Eisai, 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 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

    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or

scheduled open public hearing session. The contact person will notify 
interested persons regarding their request to speak by October 28, 
2015.
