FDA Advisory Committees are panels of independent experts who advise the FDA on specific questions raised by the FDA as they consider regulatory decisions. The FDA is not bound by the Committee’s recommendation, but it takes its advice into consideration when reviewing NDAs. According to the FDA Amendment Act of 2007 (FDAAA), the FDA should refer new drugs to an Advisory Committee meeting, or alternatively justify why an Advisory Committee meeting was not requested.
