At Viela Bio, we work every day to improve the lives of people impacted by serious, underserved, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. We share the urgency of patients seeking new treatments for potentially life-altering diseases, and understand the interest in accessing our therapies outside of clinical trials and prior to regulatory approval.
Expanded access, also referred to as compassionate use, is a channel through which the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows physicians to request investigational medicines for patients. We do not currently offer any expanded access programs, as we are focusing our resources – including supply of complex investigational medicines – on clinical trials and regulatory approval.
We encourage patients who are interested in accessing therapies in our pipeline to talk to their doctor about participating in a clinical trial. Information about all of our trials, including eligibility criteria and locations, is available at ClinicalTrials.gov.
If we are able to offer expanded access in the future, we will update this policy. If you have further questions, please email eap@vielabio.com.
