E-drug: compassionate use?
---------------------------------------------
What does "compassionate use" mean officially? is it a dispensation
given by the FDA to move clinical trials forward prior to full
approval of the drug?
is it a legislative order? when and how has "compassionate use" been employed?
Thanks in advance for your help.
