Expanded Access Programs

Expanded Access Programs (including Named Patient, Managed Access, Early Access, Compassionate Use and Temporary Authorization for Use programs) provide patient access to investigational drugs prior to marketing approval and launch. These programs are improving access to drugs for the fulfillment of unmet patient needs in an ethical manner. 

The rapidly evolving legislative environment (“Right to Try Act”- USA, “21st Century Cures Act”- USA, “Early Access to Medicines Scheme (EAMS)”- UK, etc.), will eventually force all drug manufacturers to publicly disclose their policies and procedures for making such drugs available to patients who are in need.  

ideaPoint software helps companies manage compliant and successful, Expanded Access Programs so that companies are providing the ability to grant access to the drug(s) while approvals are sought in various countries.
