Hanmi is biopharmaceutical company developing innovative medicine where unmet medical needs exist.
Expanded Access Policy Introduction
Whenever possible, an investigational product should be used as part of a clinical trial. However, if patient enrollment is not possible (e.g., patient ineligibility, lack of ongoing clinical trials) or enrollment in a clinical trial is not feasible (e.g., distance to a trial precludes access), expanded access offers a possible route for gaining access to an investigational product.
The best way for patients to be treated with Investigational Products is through participation in a clinical trial, please visit www.clinicaltrials.gov for more information about the trial and trial sites.
Scope
This policy outlines the access to Hanmi’s investigational products that are not approved yet in the country.
Apply for access to Hanmi’s investigational products
Hanmi makes best effort for patients with a life-threatening or serious disease to gain access to an investigational product for treatment outside of clinical trials when no comparable or satisfactory alternative therapy options are available.
In general, treating physicians who have experience and knowledge of the investigational product may apply for access for their patients by contacting EA@hanmi.co.kr
Requests by treating physicians for expanded access are generally reviewed by Hanmi within 10 working days and Hanmi’s response is provided directly to treating physicians. Patients or non-health care professionals should contact their treating physicians if they want access to Hanmi’s investigational products.
