Washington, DC area). A notice 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

information line to learn about possible

Agenda: The recent permanent
reauthorization of the Pediatric
Research Equity Act (Pub. L. 108–155)
and the Best Pharmaceuticals for
Children Act (Pub. L. 107–109) and
their associated amendments require
earlier consideration of pediatric study
plans. The need for suitable outcome
assessment tools to evaluate treatment
benefit of new cancer drugs on how a
patient feels and/or functions as well as
survives necessitates consideration of
the potential challenges to the use of
patient reported outcomes (PROs) in the
pediatric age group. The 2009 ‘‘FDA
Guidance for Industry: Patient-Reported
Outcome Measures Use in Medical
Product Development to Support
Labeling Claims’’ does not specifically

address the relevance and potential use
of such measures in the pediatric
development plans of oncology
products. The half-day session will
provide an opportunity to review the
Agency’s position on the use of PROs in
the pediatric population in general. As
well, participants will review the
current state of the science of the
evaluation of pertinent health-related
quality of life measures in children with
cancer across the various age and
developmental subgroups of children.
Participants will discuss potential
contexts of use for measuring both
observable and unobservable concepts
in specific pediatric cancer diagnoses
across relevant age groups and defined
disease stages using validated tools. No
specific drug or biologic products or
class of products will be discussed.
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

orally or in writing, on issues pending
before the committee. Written
