Advisory Committee Meetings

An advisory committee provides a forum for public discussion of certain issues regarding the efficacy and/or safety of the drug. The committee will generally vote on the efficacy and safety of the product. The FDA, while not bound by the committee decision, tend to generally ( but not always ) follow the advice given by the committee when making its decision on or before the PDUFA date. An Advisory Committee meeting is generally convened approximately 2-4 months prior to the PDUFA date.
