Abbisko Therapeutics Co., Ltd.
Single-Patient EA Policies/Criteria
Abbisko aspires to discover and develop differentiated therapeutics for the treatment of cancer diseases. One of the Abbisko’s lead products, ABSK021, is an oral, potent, highly selective CSF-1R inhibitor. It is currently being investigated as a single agent in one Phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of patients with TGCT (Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor). We are conducting clinical trials aiming at obtaining regulatory approval to make ABSK021 available to all patients as quickly as possible. As such, we believe participation in our clinical trials is the most appropriate way to access ABSK021 at this stage of development. Information about our clinical trials, including eligibility criteria and locations, is available at clinicaltrials.gov..
Abbisko understands the interest of patients in accessing ABSK021 outside of clinical trials and prior to regulatory approval for potentially life-threatening diseases, however we do not currently offer any Expanded Access Programs for ABSK021.
Abbisko recognizes the need for Expanded Access Programs and will re-evaluate the status of our policy based on data from ongoing and future clinical trials.

N/AAvailable Therapies via Single-Patient EA
The mission of Achillion is to provide better treatments for people with serious diseases. We are a science-driven company committed to putting patients first. In our endeavor to bring innovative medicines to patients as fast and safely as possible, we conduct clinical trials to establish the safety and efficacy of an ‘investigational drug’. An ‘investigational drug’ is a potential medicine that is in active clinical development, but has not yet received marketing approval by regulatory authorities. Clinical trials and the subsequent timely generation of safety and efficacy data are the most effective way of ensuring review and decision making by Regulatory Authorities. This ultimately has resulted in access to new, safe and effective approved medicines for patients.
Achillion supports the need for Early Access to investigational drugs for patients ineligible to enroll in clinical trials.
An Early Access program for a specific investigational drug may be opened if Achillion determines that all the following criteria are met:
1. The investigational drug is the subject of an active clinical development program and is not approved in any indication in the country concerned
2. An adequate supply of the investigational drug exists to perform necessary clinical studies as well as to provide Early Access to patients who do not have alternative treatment options
3. Early Access does not impede or compromise the clinical development or regulatory approval of the drug under investigation
4. There are sufficient clinical data available with respect to both the investigational drug and the disease condition for which the application is being sought, to anticipate that any potential benefits from treatment are likely to outweigh any potential risks to the patient
Achillion continues to assess the eligibility requirements and criteria for Early Access to the investigational drug danicopan (ACH-4471). At this time, an Early Access Program (EAP) is not available. We will re-evaluate this policy from time to time.

AffyImmune Therapeutics, Inc.
Expected Application Timeframe
3 business daysSingle-Patient EA Policies/Criteria
AffyImmune is committed to developing next-generation T cell therapies for cancer patients who have serious and life-threatening diseases or conditions.
Our Expanded Access Policy (EAP) refers to the use of an investigational cell therapy outside of a clinical trial. Sometimes called “compassionate use”, expanded access is a potential pathway for a patient to gain access to investigational therapies in certain rare circumstances in which a person has no other available therapies or is not eligible to participate in a current AffyImmune clinical trial. At AffyImmune, we recognize and understand the need for an expanded access policy for patients who have serious or immediately life-threatening disease and have limited available treatment options.
The decision to establish an EAP is dependent on several key factors consistent with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory agencies’ guidelines. These include, but are not limited, to the following:
• The patient or patients to be treated have a 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;
• The potential patient benefit justifies the potential risks of using the treatment and those potential risks are not unreasonable in the context of the disease or condition to be treated; and
• Providing the investigational drug for the requested use will not interfere with the initiation, conduct, or completion of clinical investigations that could support marketing approval of the expanded access use or otherwise compromise the potential development of the expanded access use.
AffyImmune believes that participation in one of our clinical trials is the best way to access our investigational cell-based gene therapies. We encourage patients to speak with their physicians regarding participating in clinical trials. In rare cases where patients with serious diseases are unable to participate in clinical trials and have exhausted all available options, AffyImmune may consider providing our investigational therapies outside of a clinical trial. As a general policy, AffyImmune will not provide our investigational therapies until sufficient preliminary safety and efficacy information has been obtained in our clinical trials, typically following Phase 2 investigation.
If you are a patient who is interested in accessing our investigational cell therapies, please speak with your physician. You may also learn more about ongoing clinical trial(s) by going to www.clinicaltrials.gov and searching for AffyImmune.
If you are a physician who is interested in learning more about our investigational cell therapies, or participating in our clinical trials, please submit a request to clinicaltrials@AffyImmune.com. We will use our best efforts to respond within 3 business days after receipt of your request.

AlloVir, Inc.
Expected Application Timeframe

AlloVir is committed to developing safe and effective therapies addressing severe and potentially life-threatening virus-associated diseases and their potential sequelae. Our goal is to provide access to our investigational therapies at the appropriate time and in the correct manner for patients.
Expanded access refers to the use of an investigational therapy outside a clinical trial when the primary purpose is to diagnose, prevent, or treat a serious condition in a patient. This is different from a clinical trial, where more comprehensive safety and efficacy data are collected. We understand the need for expanded access programs, and we recognize the importance of having an appropriate policy.
A number of factors consistent with the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) and other regulatory agencies’ guidelines should be taken into account when considering expanded access. They include:
• The illness must be serious or immediately life-threatening with no other satisfactory treatment options (such as approved products or enrolling clinical trials).
• The patient must have undergone appropriate standard treatments without success and no comparable or satisfactory alternative treatment is available or exists to treat the disease or condition.
• The patient is ineligible for participation in any ongoing clinical study of the investigational product, which includes lack of access due to geographic limitations.
• The patient has a disease for which there is sufficient evidence of a projected benefit from the use of the investigational product and the benefit outweighs the known or anticipated risks.
• There is an ability to provide the product in a fair and equitable manner and there is adequate manufacturing capacity for ongoing programs.
• Whether granting expanded access would potentially compromise the scientific validity of broader development programs or interfere with or delay current clinical trials or regulatory filings designed to make the therapy available to many more patients.
At this time, AlloVir believes that participation in one of our clinical trials is the most appropriate way to access our investigational therapies. If you have additional questions, please speak with your physician or contact expandedaccess@allovir.com. We anticipate acknowledging receipt of requests sent to this email within five business days.

Aravive, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing treatments designed to halt the progression of life-threatening diseases, including cancer. The following is Aravive’s policy for evaluating and responding to requests for individual patient access to its investigational drugs that are intended to treat serious diseases.
Aravive believes that investigational drugs should be studied in patients as part of clinical trials designed to obtain data on safety and efficacy that may be used to support approval of the product and subsequent wider accessibility to patients. We encourage patients to speak with their physicians and to participate in clinical trials. In rare cases when patients with serious diseases are unable to participate in clinical trials and have exhausted all available therapies, Aravive may consider providing an investigational drug outside of a clinical trial.
General Criteria
We consider a number of factors when determining whether or not to support expanded access for a given investigational drug:
Will the potential benefit potentially outweigh the collective potential risks to the patient?
Is there adequate drug supply for both the clinical development program (current and future trials) and broad expanded access?
Is there enough evidence to reasonably assess that the drug will be safe and effective so that it can be provided to patients under expanded access in an environment that is less controlled than a sponsored clinical trial?
To meet regulatory requirements, will the safety data be adequately provided to Aravive by a local physician outside of a sponsored clinical trial?
Is there a good understanding of the indication for which use is requested?
Will it jeopardize the ongoing development work that Aravive is conducting to bring a therapeutic to market as quickly as possible and to as many patients as possible?
In addition, the program must be compliant with local rules and laws and the treating physician has to be willing to open a single-patient (Investigator) IND with the FDA.

• If participation in clinical trials is not an option, physicians may consider other options, which may include expanded access programs managed by the company or single-patient expanded access.
• Requests are considered on a case-by-case basis in a fair and equitable manner.
GENERAL CRITERIA USED TO EVALUATE ACCESS REQUESTS FOR INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS
The patient has a serious or life-threatening condition with no satisfactory alternative.
• Assessment that benefits outweigh the risks to the patient.
• Assessment that the company has an adequate supply of the investigational medicine.
• A determination that expanded access will not interfere with the company’s ability to complete clinical trials in a timely fashion or which might otherwise delay marketing approval and ultimately availability to all patients.

Avelas Biosciences, Inc.
Single-Patient EA Policies/Criteria
At Avelas Biosciences, we are committed to developing products that bring new, innovative therapies, like pegloprastide (AVB-620), to patients with serious or life-threatening illnesses or conditions. Avelas is developing pegloprastide to improve the ability of surgeons to identify cancerous tissue on the surface of tissue during breast cancer surgery. Pegloprastide must be used in conjunction with a specific imaging device to visualize potentially cancerous tissue during surgery.
At this time, Avelas does not offer an expanded access program and is not accepting expanded access requests for investigational products, such as pegloprastide.
Avelas’ current focus and priority is to complete the product development program for its investigational product(s), such as pegloprastide, in order to obtain the required safety and efficacy data needed for regulatory approval. We believe that focusing our resources on our clinical trial program is the best path forward to bring our investigational product(s) to patients as quickly and safely as possible.
As we continue to develop investigational product(s), we will review our expanded access policy for investigational product(s) and may make updates to this policy.
Patients can gain access to our investigational product(s), such as pegloprastide, by participating in a clinical trial. If you or someone you know would like to learn more about Avelas Biosciences’ clinical trials, we encourage you to view our trials at www.clinicaltrials.gov.
If you have additional questions about Avelas’ expanded access policy, please email us at info@avelasbio.com.

Available Therapies via Single-Patient EA
AVB-114 is an autologous investigational product under evaluation in Seeded Cells on Matrix Plug Treating Crohn's Perianal Fistulas (STOMP-II; a prospective, multicenter, randomized, blinded outcome assessment, controlled, add-on therapy phase II study) for the treatment of complex perianal fistulas in subjects with Crohn's disease. EAP-STOMP2 is an expanded access protocol for patients who had adipose tissue collected per the STOMP-II protocol, but who were subsequently unable to receive AVB-114 treatment due to screen failure or product manufacturing issues and thus withdrew from the study. Patients who withdrew from STOMP-II for other reasons will not be considered for EAP-STOMP2. This EAP will only be considered at Clinical Investigative Sites who enrolled subjects in STOMP-II.
Inclusion Criteria
In order to be eligible to participate in this EAP, an individual must meet all of the following criteria:
1. Provision of signed and dated ICF.
2. Adipose tissue previously collected per the STOMP-II protocol, but were
subsequently unable to receive AVB-114 treatment due to screen failure or product manufacturing issues and thus withdrew.
3. Diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and a target perianal fistula with one internal
opening and at least one external opening.
Exclusion Criteria
An individual who meets one or more of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this EAP:
1. Suffer from any condition or illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would compromise patient safety.
2. Pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or are breast feeding. Women of childbearing potential (WCBP) and males who have sexual partners that are WCBP must agree to use an adequate method of contraception while participating in this EAP.
3. Known allergies or hypersensitivity to aminoglycosides.
4. History of clinically significant fat-directed autoimmunity.
5. Active, unresolved infection requiring parenteral antibiotics.
6. Unresolved abscess at time of treatment (if screening Pelvic MRI identifies an
abscess, it must be resolved before treatment).
7. Target fistula with any of the following characteristics (note that presence of a second fistula tract that is distinctly separate from the target fistula, or a target fistula with a single internal opening and multiple external openings is not exclusionary):
a. Target fistula has a branching blind ending sinus tract (no external opening) that investigator assesses to be at elevated risk of abscess formation if treated with AVB-114.
b. Target fistula is a genito-urinary fistula, including rectovaginal (i.e., fistulae that
transverse the vaginal canal).
c. Any anatomical limitation to successfully securing the fistula plug disk.
