Expanded Access Policy Statement

Effective Date: January 8, 2026
Policy Version: 1.0

Our Commitment to Patients
Intuitive Fluorescence Imaging, LLC is dedicated to advancing innovative treatments for patients with serious and life-threatening diseases. We recognize that some patients may not be able to participate in our clinical trials but may benefit from access to our investigational medicines. This Expanded Access Policy outlines our commitment to evaluating and responding to requests for expanded access (also known as compassionate use) in accordance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations under 21 CFR Part 312, Subpart I, and the requirements of the 21st Century Cures Act and FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017 (FDARA).

Our Philosophy on Expanded Access
Clinical Trials as the Preferred Pathway

We believe that participating in well-designed clinical trials is the most appropriate and ethical way for patients to access investigational medicines. Clinical trials:
  • Provide a controlled environment for treatment
  • Generate essential safety and efficacy data required for regulatory approval
  • Ensure adequate patient protection and monitoring
  • Enable broader access to treatments once approved
  • Contribute to scientific knowledge that benefits future patients
Expanded Access as an Alternative
When enrollment in a clinical trial is not possible or feasible, expanded access may offer an alternative pathway for eligible patients. However, it is important to understand that:
  • Investigational medicines are not approved by the FDA and have not been proven safe or effective
  • Efficacy is uncertain – the treatment may or may not work for your condition
  • Risks exist – investigational medicines may cause serious, unexpected side effects
  • Expanded access is voluntary – Intuitive Fluorescence Imaging, LLC is not required to provide access and retains sole discretion in evaluating requests

Eligibility Criteria
Intuitive Fluorescence Imaging, LLC will consider expanded access requests on a case-by-case basis when ALL of the following criteria are met:
Patient-Specific Criteria
  1. Serious or Life-Threatening Condition
    • The patient has a disease or condition that is immediately life-threatening (reasonable likelihood of death within months), OR
    • The patient has a serious disease with substantial impact on day-to-day functioning.

  2. No Satisfactory Alternatives
    • All approved therapies appropriate for the patient’s condition have been exhausted, are unsuitable, or are not available.
    • The patient is ineligible for enrollment in any ongoing clinical trials,
      OR
    • No clinical trials are available for the patient’s condition or geographic location.

  3. Potential Benefit Justifies Risk
    • The potential clinical benefit to the patient justifies the potential risks of treatment.
    • The patient and treating physician understand and accept these risks.
Product Development Criteria
  1. Adequate Safety and Efficacy Data Available
    • Generally, adequate data is available after completion of Phase 2 clinical trials or upon receipt of FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough Therapy designation.
    • An established recommended dose has been identified.
    • Preliminary evidence suggests potential benefit for the patient’s condition.

  2. Active Clinical Development
    • Intuitive Fluorescence Imaging, LLC is actively pursuing marketing approval for the investigational medicine.
    • Clinical trials supporting potential approval are ongoing or planned.

  3. No Interference with Clinical Development
    • Providing expanded access will not compromise the enrollment or conduct of ongoing clinical trials.
    • Adequate drug supply exists to support both clinical trials and expanded access without creating shortages for enrolled trial participants.
Regulatory and Logistical Criteria
  1. Regulatory Compliance Possible
    • The request can be fulfilled in compliance with applicable U.S. and local laws and regulations.
    • A regulatory mechanism exists to support expanded access in the patient’s country or region.
    • Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Ethics Committee approval can be obtained.

  2. Licensed Physician Oversight
    • A qualified, licensed physician agrees to:
      • Oversee the patient's treatment

      • Submit required documentation to the FDA and IRB/Ethics Committee
