timely notice. Therefore, you should always check the FDA's website at 
https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm and scroll down to 
the appropriate advisory committee meeting link, or call the advisory 
committee information line to learn about possible modifications before 
coming to the meeting.

(NDA) 210730, for oliceridine 1 milligram/milliliter injection, 
submitted by Trevena, Inc., for the management of moderate-to-severe 
acute pain in adult patients for whom an intravenous opioid is 
warranted. The committee will also be asked to discuss the efficacy and 
safety data and benefit-risk considerations.
    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 website 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 website after the meeting. Background material is 
available at https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting
