Expanded Access Policy

Poxel’s mission is to develop innovative treatments for chronic serious diseases with metabolic pathophysiology. Consistent with its mission, Poxel is focused on conducting clinical studies required by regulatory authorities to fully answer important scientific questions about the potential risks and benefits of our investigational products, and to obtain regulatory approval.

The best way to see if a new medicine is sufficiently safe and effective is to conduct clinical studies. As such Poxel prefers that, where possible, patients participate in clinical studies. Poxel recognizes however that not everyone has this opportunity. Poxel is committed to making investigational products available to seriously ill patients who have exhausted other treatment options and unable to participate in a clinical study. In accordance with FDA’s regulations on expanded access to investigational drugs for treatment use under an investigational new drug application (IND) (21 CFR part 312, subpart I), a treating physician in the United States (U.S.), who is able to comply with the requirements that are stated in this policy, may request information about how to apply for access to Poxel’s investigational products by contacting the Company.

Scope

This policy applies to provision of potential Expanded Access to a Poxel investigational product(s) for patients with serious disease who have exhausted other treatment options and are not eligible or able to join in a clinical trial and for product(s) that are not approved for any purpose in the U.S.

Policy Statements

Any use of a Poxel investigational product outside a clinical trial in the U.S. must (i) comply with local laws and regulations, including Poxel policies and procedures, and (ii) meet certain conditions including the ones detailed below.

In general, the investigational product supplied via Expanded Access may no longer be provided by Poxel when it becomes commercially available.

Poxel may decide not to provide an investigational product under this policy if the Company does not intend to market the product in the U.S.

This policy is subject to change. Poxel will revisit the policy periodically and amend it as appropriate. Individuals with questions regarding this policy can contact Poxel by email at: eap@poxelpharma.com
