What Are Compassionate Use Programs?

Compassionate use, also called "expanded access," is a pathway for patients with serious or life-threatening conditions to access experimental drugs or therapies outside of a clinical trial. It is reserved for patients who have exhausted all approved treatment options.

Why They Are Important

These programs can be a last resort, offering hope and potential life-saving treatment when no other options exist. They provide access to promising therapies years before they become widely available.
