About Expanded Access for CAL02
At Eagle, we are committed to developing first-in-class treatments for patients with severe pneumonia and physicians who treat them.
CAL02 has been designed and is being developed as an adjunctive treatment for patients with severe pneumonia. We will conduct clinical studies to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of CAL02 and obtain regulatory approval, and ultimately make CAL02 available.
Before regulatory approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and foreign regulatory authorities, patients gain access to investigational treatments, such as CAL02, by participating in clinical trials and by ‘Expanded access,’ also referred to as compassionate use, ‘Early Access,’ and ‘Emergency Use.’ Patients who seek access to investigational medicines outside of an established clinical study and before health authority marketing authorization may wish to do so because standard treatments have failed, because they cannot tolerate already approved medicines, because they are unable to participate in a clinical study or because there are no comparable or satisfactory therapy options available outside of clinical trials. The primary purpose of expanded access is to use the investigational drug for patient treatment purposes rather than to gather data on safety, tolerability, and effectiveness.
Currently, Eagle Pharmaceuticals does not offer an expanded access program and does not accept expanded access requests outside of clinical trials. We believe that access to CAL02 should be limited to clinical trials until such time as its safety, tolerability and effectiveness for a particular indication has been determined and confirmed by regulatory authorities. Ongoing clinical trials can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov, NCT05776004. Patient access to CAL02 outside of a clinical trial may interfere with the conduct of our ongoing and future clinical trials and may also disrupt the progress of our development program, which would, in turn, delay access to many patients in need.
Accordingly, while clinical trials are ongoing, we believe participation in our clinical trials is the only safe and appropriate way to access CAL02.

In line with the 21ST Century Cures Act, Eagle may revise this policy at any time.
