Generex Announces Expansion Plan for the USFDA Expanded Access Treatment IND Program for Generex Oral-lyn in the United States
The FDA’s Treatment IND program allows companies to provide early access to investigational drugs for patients with serious or life-threatening conditions for which there is no satisfactory alternative treatment. Drugs that are granted approval by the FDA for the Treatment IND program MUST demonstrate the prospect of efficacy through clinical testing.
Under the Expanded Access Treatment IND program, Generex Oral-lyn™ will be provided to patients with serious or life-threatening Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus, with no satisfactory alternative therapy available for the treatment of diabetes, and who are not eligible to participate in the Company’s ongoing global Phase III pivotal clinical trial.
This Treatment IND will be open to eligible patients that comply with the inclusion/exclusion criteria of the protocol, including those who are taking currently approved anti-diabetic medications. There are no oral or injectable medications contraindicated for this IND program.
“We are so pleased to have the opportunity to include nurse practitioners in the FDA’s Treatment IND Program in the United States”, said Anna Gluskin, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Nurse practitioners are usually at the front lines of dealing with patients with diabetes and have the skill set to work closely with patients to implement new safe and efficacious tools in the diabetes treatment paradigm.”
