Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Medical Need Program (MNP)?

An unmet medical need is present when the Medical Need Program (MNP) or Compassionate Use Program (CUP) patient population has a life threatening disease, a chronic disease or a seriously debilitating disease which cannot be treated satisfactorily with a product that is licensed AND reimbursed for this indication and commercially available in Belgium.

Can you collect data in an Medical Need Program (MNP)?

Patients should always be considered for inclusion in clinical trials before being offered inclusion into a CUP or MNP. Clinical data collection in MNP/CUP is NOT POSSIBLE. MNP/CUP cannot replace clinical trials for investigational purposes. However, data collected during a CUP or MNP that are necessary to conduct the program (e.g. to check inclusion / exclusion criteria, to follow-up the benefit / risk of a patient, pharmacovigilance data) could be used to increase the understanding of the treatment. Processing of data collected (e.g. AE information) can only happen to evaluate the dossier with focus on quality and cost of the medicine. It is not possible to collect more data than strictly needed for the conduct and evaluation of the program.

What are the components of a Medical Need Program (MNP)?

There are 4 main components in a Medical Need Program: - Patient Eligibility Assessment - Consent & Letter of Agreement - Medication Provision - Monitoring Supplies

What medicines can patients receive in an Medical Need Program (MNP)?

The law from 1964, March 25, outlines conditions for providing unapproved medicinal products in Belgium, either for compassionate use or medical need programs. Compassionate use is allowed for non-authorized products undergoing clinical trials or seeking marketing authorization. Medical need programs apply to authorized products when other treatments are inadequate. Additional conditions include ongoing authorization processes, unavailability in the market, ongoing trials, or demonstrated relevance in the intended use. As long as eligibility criteria are met, the same company can submit a marketing notification for one indication while reimbursement procedures for another indication are underway for the same medicine.
