Expanded Access/Compassionate use
- Thread starter musclemania70
- Start date
Are you speaking of a drug that already has a compassionate use clause? If so, your doctor contacts the pharma co. or a local participating cf center regarding enrolling you. It is a leg of the clinical trial and thus you will have to travel to a participating hospital if your own hospital is not participating.

How do I find out if the drug has a compassionate use clause?

Start by contacting your CF center.
I was involved in the Expanded Access program for Aztreonam Lysine (Cayston) for several years before it got FDA approval.
Participation was through my CF center. The center was a participant in the Expanded Access program. Not all centers were. They applied for me and supplied the drug. There was no cost - until it got FDA approval.
Wishing you all the best.
