Preparing for a Meeting with FDA Feldman 13 Nov 2007 41
Planning the Presentation-1 n Use the time optimally. – Presentation of the agenda and list of attendees should take no more than 2 minutes – Assume the FDA has read all of the material; do not waste time in your presentation reviewing material sent in the package. n Call a week ahead of meeting to see if the Lead Reviewer can send you a list of the questions generated at their internal meeting. Feldman 13 Nov 2007 42
Planning the Presentation - 2 n n n The preliminary questions from the reviewing team may cover deficiencies and/or other issues Compare your list of questions with the preliminary questions from the review team. Ensure your presentation will cover them and, if possible, without presenting significant new information. Focus your presentation to elicit as much information, comments, suggestions from the agency. Manage the time by rehearsing presenters so that they keep to their time allotment. Limit the number of presenters – too much time can be lost during change of speakers. Feldman 13 Nov 2007 43
Preparing for the Meeting n Do a mock rehearsal with two groups of people: – Those that know a lot about the product and research - to ensure you have not omitted critical information and have included all possible issues – Those that do not know anything abut the product and have read only the “package” to ensure your presentation is comprehendible and flows smoothly Feldman 13 Nov 2007 44

Ensure that at least one person from your company is taking notes during the meeting. Feldman 13 Nov 2007 47
