Expanded Access Policy
Equillium’s mission is to develop innovative therapies to treat patients
with severe immuno-inflammatory disorders. We are committed to providing
patients with access to approved treatments as quickly as possible and in
alignment with policies and guidelines established by regulatory agencies.
Equillium puts patients first and recognizes the importance of developing a
policy around expanded access, often referred to as “Compassionate Use.”
We understand the need for expanded access and our goal is to provide study
drug access at the appropriate time and in the correct context for patients.
We have reviewed the following considerations to determine whether or not to
offer our investigational drug products for expanded access at this time:
-
Is there strong data to support the drug’s safety and efficacy so that it
can be provided outside of a clinical trial?
-
Will safety data, which is necessary to meet regulatory approval, be
adequately provided to Equillium by a local physician outside of a
sponsored clinical trial?
-
Is there adequate supply to provide the drug to all equally qualified
expanded access patients and for our clinical development programs?
-
Will it jeopardize our ability to bring a therapeutic to market as quickly
and to as many patients as possible?
After evaluating these considerations, Equillium has determined that
expanded access for the investigational drug products cannot be offered at
this time. This policy will be re-assessed periodically. Although expanded
access is not currently offered, prospective patients are encouraged to
consult with their healthcare provider about participating in ongoing
clinical studies of itolizumab.
