Expanded Access Program (EAP) EAP criteria
As of 15 August 2024, all but one US clinical trial site (whose study participants aren’t scheduled to complete clinical trial treatment until March 2025) are either enrolled in the EAP or have applications in process to become an EAP site. Any physicians interested in referring patients to an EAP site can contact Ascendis by phone at 1-844-442-7236 or by submitting a request form at https://ascendispharmamedinfo.us. Processing of in-process applications to become an EAP site will continue - but it’s important to note these applications are governed by the physician’s institutional contracting and IRB process, for which Ascendis has no oversight. We will continue to meet with each clinical trial and EAP site as needed to address any questions they may have.
Once a patient is referred to an EAP site, the EAP treating physician may require transfer of medical histories or other information for their records, but EAP patient enrollment requires only 3 forms:
-
- Patient Access Form, required to establish the patient as part of the EAP
- An eligibility questionnaire (7 questions that can be completed via email)
- Patient consent form (reviewed with patient by physician or staff, then signed by patient)
