Résumé

Janssen Research & Development, LLC, part of the Janssen pharmaceutical companies of Johnson & Johnson, and NYU School of Medicine partnered to establish the Compassionate Use Advisory Committee (CompAC) to evaluate the use of an independent, external, expert committee in ensuring transparent, fair, beneficent, evidence-based, and patient-focused compassionate access to investigational medicines, a public health challenge that has been an ongoing issue for over 3 decades. To this end, NYU School of Medicine was responsible for the formation, member selection, and operation of CompAC, consisting of physicians, ethicists, and patient advocates, under Johnson & Johnson's sponsorship. A pilot was successfully run using CompAC to provide recommendations on compassionate use access to a Johnson & Johnson oncology investigational asset called daratumumab. This innovative model provides a framework that can be emulated by the industry globally.
