The BMS experience
Patients are better informed than ever about novel treatments and as shown by the number of high-profile patient-driven campaigns we have recently seen, calling companies to open up access to medication ahead of commercial launch. Regulators are increasingly scrutinising early access to medicines and considering (see the draft Cures Act in the US) mandating companies to make their access policies public. Are you and your company ready to respond to this changing environment? Do you have an ethical, compliant and fair policy in place to manage requests for access to your investigational products?
With an unrivalled level of experience, Clinigen Consulting helps pharmaceutical companies navigate the complexities of providing access to unlicensed and unavailable medicines around the world.
In this webinar, Sue Hannah (BMS) and Romina Oxborough (Clinigen), will present on their experience in developing a Policy for Early Patient Access and examples of the benefit for BMS and for their patients.
