Abstract: This information is essential to CDC’s Monkeypox emergency response consistent with requirements set forth by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). CDC, in partnership with FDA, has made it easier for healthcare providers to provide tecovirimat (TPOXX) treatment to patients with monkeypox under the expanded access investigational new drug (EA-IND). CDC holds an intermediate-size patient population EA-IND (IND 116,039/Protocol 6402) to allow access to and use of TPOXX for treatment of orthopoxvirus infections, including monkeypox. The EA-IND provides an umbrella regulatory coverage so that clinicians and facilities do not need to request and obtain their own INDs.

Emergency Justfication: monkeypox continues to spread rapidly in the United States and around the world, and the exponential increase in demand for access to tecovirmat under CDC’s EA-IND. In the United States, as of July 27, 2022, there have been over 4,600 cases in 47 states and Puerto Rico, and more than 90 facilities have elected to rely on the CDC IRB. In order to facilitate access to tecovirmat to ease the suffering of those with monkeypox, CDC must fully execute written agreements with these institutions in a systematic way for recordkeeping as required by FDA.
