Compassionate Use Act (CUA)

The Compassionate Use Act (CUA) allows patients with serious or life-threatening conditions to access experimental or unapproved medications when no other effective treatments are available. It provides a legal pathway for clinicians to prescribe these drugs outside of clinical trials, ensuring patients have potential access to promising therapies while balancing safety considerations. The act aims to offer hope and treatment options to patients facing dire medical situations, facilitating access to potentially life-saving medications under careful medical supervision.
