Agenda: The committee will discuss the following new drug applications (NDAs): (1) NDA 022-042, EVISTA (raloxifene hydrochloride) Tablets, Eli Lilly and Co., proposed indications for the reduction in risk of invasive breast cancer in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, and for the reduction in risk of invasive breast cancer in postmenopausal women at high risk of breast cancer; and (2) NDA 021- 801, proposed trade name ORPLATNA (satraplatin capsules), GPC Biotech Inc., proposed indication for the treatment of patients with androgen independent (hormone refractory) prostate cancer (HRPC) that has failed prior chemotherapy.
