Merck & Co., Inc. The proposed 

indication (use) for this product is for 

the treatment of patients with high-risk,

FDA intends to make background

be made publicly available on FDA’s 

website at the time of the advisory 

committee meeting. Background 

material and the link to the online 

teleconference meeting room will be 

available at https://www.fda.gov/ 

AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/ 

default.htm. Scroll down to the 

appropriate advisory committee meeting 

link. The meeting will include slide 

presentations with audio components to 

allow the presentation of materials in a 

manner that most closely resembles an 

in-person advisory committee meeting. 

Procedure: Interested persons may 

present data, information, or views, 

orally or in writing, on issues pending 

before the committee. All electronic and 

written submissions submitted to the 

Docket (see ADDRESSES) on or before 

January 26, 2021, will be provided to 

the committee. Oral presentations from 

the public will be scheduled between 

approximately 12 noon and 1 p.m.

names and addresses of proposed 

participants, and an indication of the 

approximate time requested to make 

their presentation on or before January

presentation may be limited. If the 

number of registrants requesting to 

speak is greater than can be reasonably 

accommodated during the scheduled

conduct a lottery to determine the 

speakers for the scheduled open public 

hearing session. The contact person will

request to speak by January 19, 2021.
