On Christmas Eve in 2015 in Texas, 14-year-old Hannah was tethered to a hospital bed relying on a ventilator to stay alive. Plagued by rare airway disorder tracheobronchomalacia, doctors told her parents it might be time to let her go. On Christmas morning, the family woke up with new hope, thanks to a life-saving 3-D printed airway splint procedure at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital.
Transforming Expanded Access to Maximize Support and Study
Expanded Access Resources
We want to help you help your patients when they need experimental therapies.
Expanded Access provides an opportunity for patients who either lack therapeutic options or who are ineligible for clinical trials to potentially benefit from the clinical use of experimental drugs, biologics, and medical devices.
Transforming Expanded Access to Maximize Support and Study (TEAMSS) has worked to develop resources and a network of support for physicians seeking Expanded Access for their patients. Whether an individual physician, institutional official, or support staff, our resources are available to help you make obtaining Expanded Access for patients.
Dissemination of this knowledge is core to our purpose. We invite you to browse and share our findings, our tools, our publications, and our videos.
Who We Are
Transforming Expanded Access to Maximize Support and Study (TEAMSS) is project funded by the National Center for Advancing Translational Research (NCATS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). By developing resources, best practices, and infrastructure to support Expanded Access, we hope to create a foundation for nationwide availability of Expanded Access for physicians and medical centers nationwide. This consortium for Expanded Access interventions is a partnership led by the University of Michigan with Duke University, University of Rochester, and University of Texas Southwestern.
