We are experts in the strategy, design, and implementation
of global early access programs
When patients have a life threatening or debilitating illness, their physicians have exhausted current treatment options or there simply aren’t any treatment options available or they are unable to enter a clinical trial, mechanisms exist across the globe to enable access to (pre-approval access, managed access , compassionate use , expanded access ) to medicines where they are not approved in the country of intended use.
Healthcare professionals often seek to access these medicines for their patients, and biopharmaceutical companies developing innovative medicines are increasingly making these medicines available to patients through early access programs.
Successful Early Access Programs Depend on Detailed Strategic Planning
Early Access is not a ‘box-shifting’ exercise – it is a complex route of medicine provision which dovetails between your clinical development and commercial launch.
In addition to our collective experience in over 300 early access programs, Inceptua pioneered the pre-program consulting services such as Global Strategy Development and Early Access Feasibility Assessments.
These services, and our extensive in-house pharma commercial experience, mean that Inceptua has the breadth of knowledge and detailed operational experience to devise the most appropriate early access strategy for your asset, ensuring your
Broad-Spectrum Early Access Data
Inceptua can support your Early Access data requirements, whatever they might be. Inceptua Early Access can manage all aspects of your data collection, whether it is detailed outcomes data (collecting real-world evidence from the first patient population outside of your clinical trials), patient-reported outcomes, physician perception data to feed into your commercial launch (perception of product, likelihood of prescribing, issues with dosing, administration or adherence), or real-time access to detailed program metrics, Inceptua can maximize the data returns on your program.
Data generated during your Early Access Program can support:
- Program modifications
- Program expansion
- HTA submissions
- Market access
- Publications
A misfiring Early Access Program is more than just a drain on your resources – it can result in physician frustration, a negative perception of your company amongst your key prescriber base, a loss of goodwill, and ultimately can jeopardize your commercial launch.
Transferring an ongoing Early Access Program to a new vendor can be a daunting prospect – so much so that sometimes the decision may be that it’s better to persist with a sub-optimal program rather than risk any potential disruption, but transferring vendors is relatively straight forward, if managed correctly.
Inceptua utilizes its ‘Program Transfer Toolkit’ which capitalizes on its experience in this area to provide a seamless, cost-effective transfer, ensuring minimal disruption for your physicians and uninterrupted supply of medicines to your patients.
