Expanded Access to Investigational Medicines

The administration of an investigational product via Expanded Access is not meant to answer questions about the product’s safety and effectiveness; rather, it is intended to treat an individual patient with a serious or immediately life-threatening disease or condition for which no satisfactory alternative therapy exists. In the absence of robust guidance for assessing requests for expanded access, physicians and sponsors are left without a critical understanding of the legal, ethical, and financial considerations that ought to influence expanded access determinations.
