Early access programs, (EAPs) employ controlled mechanisms of access to investigational drugs outside of the clinical trial space and before the commercial launch of the drug, to patients with life-threatening diseases who have no (other) treatment option available.
They are adopted by an increasing number of pharma companies due to several benefits offered by these programs. In addition to the development of positive relationships with key opinion leaders (KOL), patient advocacy groups and regulators, the data captured from the implementation of EAPs supports the formation of global commercialization strategies.
Countries vary in their regulations regarding the allowance of Early Access Programs. It is vitally important to understand country specific regulations. Country specific assessment and communication with authorities play an important role in making decisions about implementing such programs. If this is a part of your company’s strategic plan, Luna Pharma Consulting Limited can help you to find country specific regulations and solution partners to implement and run Early Access Programs.
