Protocol-Based Access Programs

How Can Sponsors Provide Treatment Access to Defined Patient Groups?

While the regulatory pathway for accessing investigational or unlicensed medicines outside of clinical trials in most countries is on a single, named patient basis, some countries either require or offer program sponsors a protocol-based option for a group, or cohort, of patients.

Whether it’s an Early Access Program, Expanded Access Program, Post-Trial Supply Program, or a Managed Access Program,
