Arimoclomol for Niemann-Pick type C (NPC)
In general, Orphazyme will consider granting access to an investigational drug on a case-by-case basis if an Early Access Program is open in the country of residence of the patient and the following criteria are met:
• The patient has a serious or life-threatening medical condition within the disease area and the patient population that Orphazyme is investigating and planning to pursue approval by the national regulatory authorities.
• The patient has no access to a suitable approved treatment for the disease condition or no adequate treatments are available.
• The patient does not qualify to participate in any ongoing or planned clinical trials in a reasonably accessible geographical location.
• The patient has a disease for which there is sufficient clinical evidence of benefit from the use of the investigational drug, and the benefits likely outweigh the known or anticipated risks.
• Providing Early Access does not in any way disrupt the clinical development program and/or the regulatory pathway towards marketing authorization leading to broader access.
• There is an adequate and sustainable supply of the investigational drug, beyond what is required for all ongoing and planned clinical trials.
• The request for Early Access is received from a licensed physician with expertise in treating the disease and understands the potential risks and benefits of the investigational drug.
• The requesting physician agrees to comply with Orphazyme’s Early Access Program specifications as well as with the applicable laws and regulations governing the use of the investigational drug. Early Access
ends once the investigational drug is commercially available or reimbursed in a country. If Orphazyme decides to discontinue clinical development of the investigational drug for a specific disease area, Early Access will be discontinued.
