FDA is announcing an upcoming meeting of its Antiviral Drugs Advisory Committee on May 11, 2012, from 8 a.m. to 500 p.m.. The committee will discuss a new drug application (NDA) for a fixed-dose combination tablet of elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, submitted by Gilead Sciences, Inc. The application proposes an indication for the treatment of HIV–1 infection in adults who are antiretroviral naı ̈ve or have no known substitutions associated with resistance to the individual components.

The meeting will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Washington DC/Silver Spring, The Ballrooms, 8727 Colesville Rd., Silver Spring, MD. The hotel telephone number is 301–589–5200. The hotel is near the Red Line Silver Spring metro station.

The meeting is open to the public. No registration is required.

Interested persons may present data, information, or views, orally at the meeting, or in writing, on issues pending before the committee.
