Expanded Access Policy

Levomecor is committed to advancing novel therapies for patients with serious medical conditions

Esmethadone (REL-1017) is an investigational compound. Safety and efficacy have not been established, and no regulatory authority has approved this product for any indication. Statements herein reflect interpretations of published or presented data.

We recognize that some patients may seek access to unapproved treatments outside of a clinical trial through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Expanded Access (EA) program.

Our policy

Levomecor does not submit Expanded Access INDs directly to FDA.

  • If a treating physician believes a patient may benefit from esmethadone, Levomecor will consider providing the investigational drug to the physician.

  • The treating physician is responsible for submitting the Expanded Access request to FDA as a Physician's IND (commonly via FDA Form З926 for single-patient INDs).

Levomecor's role

If Expanded Access is deemed appropriate, Levomecor will:

  • Provide the investigational drug, subject to supply availability.

  • Supply the treating physician with necessary information (safety, dosing, CMC data).

  • Authorize FDA to reference Levomecor's IND for supporting information.

The treating physician will be responsible for:

Submitting the EA IND request to FDA.

  • Securing Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval/notification.

  • Overseeing patient care and monitoring.

  • Meeting FDA safety reporting obligations.

How to Request Expanded Access

Licensed U.S. physicians may submit requests to Levomecor at: administration@levomecor.com

Please include:

  • Physician's name, specialty, and contact details.

  • Patient's condition and medical rationale for the request.

  • Proposed treatment plan.

Levomecor will acknowledge receipt of requests within 5 business days.

Important notice

Posting this policy does not guarantee that Expanded Access will be granted. Expanded Access may only be considered if:

  • Clinical trial participation is not possible, and

  • Providing investigational product will not interfere with ongoing or planned clinical development.
