During the meetings, scheduled from April 27-29, the committee will hear updates on several cancer drugs that don’t have verified clinical benefit, including Tecentriq from Merck and Opdivo from Bristol-Myers Squibb, among others.
The drug makers’ updates will cover the “status and results of confirmatory clinical studies for a given indication,” and “any ongoing and planned trials.”
Based on the updates, the committee will determine whether the drugs should remain on the market while further trials are conducted.
