Registration & Welcome Coffee

Workshop A | 9:00 – 11:00 AM

9:00 am Mastering the Launch of an Early Access Programme

Synopsis

Launching a new access programme requires making multiple critical decisions. One of the most important being partnerships. When selecting vendors for an Early Access Program it is crucial to ensure that they comply with regulatory requirements and are the right fit for the programme. It is also important to choose the appropriate programme for your product, Named-Patient, Managed Access, Early Access, or Cohort. Additionally, establishing a clear and effective communication plan with all stakeholders, including patients, healthcare providers, regulatory authorities, and vendors, is vital to ensure successful implementation of the EAP. By following these strategies, you can ensure that your EAP runs smoothly and effectively, providing patients with access to potentially life-saving treatments while adhering to regulatory guidelines.

Join this workshop to:

  • Discuss strategies for selecting the right vendors and ensuring they comply with regulatory requirements
  • Find the best programme for your product (Named-Patient, Managed Access, Early Access, or Cohort)
  • Establish a clear and effective communication plan with all stakeholders involved in the EAP, including patients, healthcare providers, regulatory authorities, and vendors
