Expanded Access Treatment Protocol With DCA for Patients With PDCD

Saol Therapeutics Inc

Overview

Expanded Access (EA) will provide a transition to continue therapy for those patients who are currently in the open label extension of the Phase III study, SL 1009-01, while also allowing new patients diagnosed with PDCD who meet the eligibility criteria to also have access to therapy that would be otherwise unavailable. The Expanded Access program (EAP) will also allow the sponsor to extend the collection of long term safety data for the current open label patients, while also expanding to an additional population of patients beyond those currently in the SL 1009-01 study.
