Iterum Therapeutics was founded with one over-arching goal: to develop an antibiotic that addresses the growing crisis of multi-drug-resistant pathogens and meets the specific needs of physicians, their patients and other important stakeholders. Among the most important demands were new treatments for common, often serious conditions, including urinary tract infections (UTI), and intra-abdominal infections (IAI). Iterum Therapeutics is committed to conducting the clinical trials required to gain regulatory approvals to allow our medicines to be available to patients. Patients are encouraged to participate in one of our clinical trials whenever possible. For those patients with an unmet need who have exhausted all available therapy options and who are unable or ineligible to participate in a clinical trial, we may be able to provide access to our investigational medicine(s) in certain circumstances through our expanded access program.
Iterum Therapeutics may provide access for patients to our investigation medicine(s) outside of a clinical trial provided the patient meets Iterum Therapeutics’ evaluation criteria for such access. At a minimum, requests must meet the following criteria in order to be considered:
• The patient has a serious or immediately life-threatening illness when there are no comparable or satisfactory alternative treatments available and the patient is ineligible or unable to participate in a clinical trial;
• The benefit-risk analysis of the patient’s condition and medical history support the use of an investigational drug and justifies the potential risks of the treatment;
• Making the investigational therapy available for expanded access will not interfere with the initiation, conduct, or completion of clinical trials being conducted by Iterum Therapeutics that could support marketing approval for a particular treatment indication;
• The investigational drug is in active clinical development with sufficient data available to determine an appropriate dose and schedule for the patient’s specific condition;
• There is an adequate supply of the investigational medicines;
• Provision of such access to investigational medicines is compliant with local regulations and laws.
All requests meeting the above criteria must be submitted by the patient’s treating physician to EAProgram@iterumtx.com. Iterum Therapeutics may request additional information from the patient’s treating physician to support the request. The treating physician must also agree to obtain appropriate regulatory and Institutional Review Board approvals and patient informed consent and to carry out patient monitoring and safety reporting.
Iterum Therapeutics is committed to assessing every early access request with the highest degree of fairness and equality, however, Iterum Therapeutics cannot guarantee access to any investigational medicine. Iterum Therapeutics regularly monitors this email box and will attempt to acknowledge each submitted request within 3 business days after receipt.
