Learn more about our commitment to patients and caregivers living with rare monogenic CNS disease.
Expanded Access, sometimes called Managed Access, Compassionate Use or Early Access, is a potential pathway for a patient with an immediately life-threatening condition, serious disease or condition to gain access to an investigational medical product (drug, biologic, or medical device) for treatment outside of clinical trials when no comparable or satisfactory alternative therapy options are available.
At Taysha, we are collaborating closely with patients, caregivers, patient organizations and medical experts to conduct safe and effective clinical trials. We believe participation in well-designed clinical trials is the most ethical way to determine the safety and efficacy of investigational therapies. Clinical experience from well-controlled trials provide the highest probability of success of bringing an approved therapy to the entire patient community in a safe manner. Hence, Taysha does not offer an Expanded Access Program anywhere in the world.
If you have questions about participating in our clinical trials, please discuss with your health care provider, or contact us at: medinfo@tayshagtx.com.
We reserve the right to revise this policy at any time in accordance with the 21st Century Cures Act.
