the prompts to the desired center or product area. Please call the

in the Federal Register about last minute modifications 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 and call the appropriate 
advisory committee hotline/phone line to learn about possible 
modifications before coming to the meeting.
    Agenda: The committee will discuss new drug application (NDA) 200-
436, synthetic human secretin, sponsored by Repligen Corporation, 
proposed for use with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to improve 
pancreatic duct visualization for the detection of duct abnormalities 
to enhance clinical decision making in patients with known or suspected 
pancreatitis.
    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 https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee link.
    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or 
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the committee. 
Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or before May 
16, 2012. 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 8, 2012. 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 9, 2012.
    Persons attending FDA's advisory committee meetings are advised 
that the Agency is not responsible for providing access to electrical

meetings and will make every effort to accommodate persons with 
physical disabilities or special needs. If you require special

days in advance of the meeting.
