Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a revised draft guidance for industry, “Expanded Access to Investigational Drugs for Treatment Use Questions and Answers.”
This revised draft guidance responds to frequently asked questions
about the FDA’s regulation of expanded access to investigational drugs
and includes the agency’s recommendations for fulfilling new
requirements of the 21st Century Cures Act and the FDA Reauthorization
Act of 2017 that are related to expanded access.
Since
FDA issued the “Expanded Access to Investigational Drugs for Treatment
Use — Questions and Answers" final guidance in June 2016 (revised in
October 2017), the agency has received questions from stakeholders
related to the implementation of the regulatory requirements of the
expanded access program. The revised draft guidance provides further
clarification to some of the recommendations included in the 2017
guidance and includes additional recommendations about FDA’s current
processes and policies regarding expanded access to investigational
drugs.
FDA
is providing this revised guidance in a question-and-answer format, to
address the most recently asked questions and sharing recommendations to
fulfill new statutory requirements.
When
finalized, this guidance will replace the June 2016 (updated in October
2017) final guidance, "Expanded Access to Investigational Drugs for
Treatment Use — Questions and Answers."
