The FDA will then speed up the process of development. Expanded Access granted by the FDA and allows for the use of an investigational new drug outside of a clinical investigation (study) for patients who have serious or immediately life- threatening disease or condition and there is no comparable or satisfactory alternative therapy to diagnose, monitor, or treat the disease or condition.
