Expanded Access Oversight Committee (EAOC) Review Process
In response to the steady increase in institution-wide Expanded Access requests, the EAOC was established in August 2024 to help promote transparency and streamline processes to continue to meet the needs of patients, providers, and other institutional partners across VUMC. The EAOC is charged with rapidly reviewing all non-emergency Expanded Access requests for appropriateness within the Expanded Access pathway and feasibility from an institutional perspective to ensure that clinical and pharmacy teams are appropriately resourced to support the request. For more information, please see the EAOC charter linked here.
