Expanded access programs are pathways for patients with serious or life-threatening diseases to access drugs in development outside of clinical trials when there are no other treatment options available.  These programs are also known by other names, such as Compassionate Use, Early Access Programs, Managed Access Programs and Named Patient Programs. They are primarily driven by physicians on behalf of their patients.
