How has Expanded Access changed in the last 12–18 months - and what’s driving that shift?
The need for post-trial access continues to drive a large portion of company’s expanded access requests. Difficult reimbursement negotiations driven by tightening budgets and an unstable global economy has increased the demand and duration of programs.
What are the biggest challenges being faced by expanded access teams today?
Sustainability. It is becoming increasingly difficult to design multiple programs that center patients needs while balancing available resources.
What’s something the industry isn’t talking about enough?
Balancing the increasing demands from patients and patient advocacy groups to open programs earlier and earlier and the default nature of organizations to try to de-risk programs as much as possible.
What will your session cover and what will it help teams overcome?
My session aims to help attendees think strategically about their company’s post-trial access needs and hopefully avoid some pitfalls from prior experiences.
What are you most looking forward to at the summit?
Connecting with colleagues. These sessions are always a wonderful opportunity to learn from the best in the business and bring back learnings and best practices to implement into ongoing programs.
