  9. Agent Decision Meetings • Review agents in prevention trials • Make decisions to continue investment • Review promising agents or molecular targets • Make decisions to proceed with further development • Prioritize agents

  10. Agent Decision Meetings • April 6, 2001 (DFMO & Iressa) • July 23, 2001 (Bowman Birk Inhibitor) • April 23, 2002 (4HPR, retinoids, PPARs) • September 26, 2002 (oltipraz & glutathione s-transferase modulation)

  11. Interactions with FDA • 56 INDs in 6 FDA Divisions • Monthly FDA/DCP interdivisional meetings • scientific issues (endpoints) • safety issues (toxicity ) • consistency
