Laromustine Injection, with the proposed trade name ONRIGIN, has a proposed use for ‘‘remission induction therapy’’ for AML. This is an initial approach to AML treatment designed to induce, or bring about, remission (reduction or disappearance) of leukemia in patients 60 years or older with de novo, or first occurrence, AML designated as ‘‘poorrisk,’’ or more likely to have a poor outcome. FDA intends to make background material available to the public no later than 2 business days before the meeting.
