FDA Launches Expanded Access Navigator


 

Patients with serious or immediately life-threatening diseases or conditions who have no comparable or satisfactory alternative therapy and who seek access to potentially life-saving investigational drugs can use the FDA’s new Expanded Access Navigator to guide them through the process. The Navigator was a team effort led by the Reagan-Udall Foundation in collaboration with patient advocacy groups, the pharmaceutical industry, the FDA, and others in the Federal government.
