The compassionate supply of Janssen medicine through AccessPlus is subject to your understanding, agreement and compliance with the following Terms and Conditions:
- The medicine supplied is only to be prescribed and used for the specific AccessPlus enrolled patient for which it is requested and supplied (Enrolled Patient), and cannot be transferred to any other patient;
- Supply of any medicine to any patient through AccessPlus is subject to review and approval by Janssen, at its sole discretion. Janssen may refuse to supply any medicine through AccessPlus.
- You have obtained all approvals, including where applicable any additional authorisation, required to supply the relevant medicine to the Enrolled Patient;
- If the patient stops treatment, you will update the patient record in the AccessPlus portal, or notify via 0800 462 486.
- Prior to prescribing the medicine, you acknowledge and agree that:
- you have read and understood the Medicine Information for the medicine approved by the New Zealand Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Authority;
- you have discussed with your patient the potential risks and nature of side effects of the relevant medicine;
- you have explained to your patient that Janssen will supply the medicine on a shared cost basis (i.e. Janssen will supply every other dose free-of-charge, as advised by Janssen), and there will be ongoing costs of treatment with the medicine should the patient choose to continue. An Enrolled Patient will be required to pay for each alternate dose of the relevant medicine;

- Subject to clause 8, the medication will continue to be provided on a cost-share basis by Janssen to the Enrolled Patient for as long as the patient is judged to benefit clinically from the treatment and until the medicine is available to those patients through a formal funding mechanism, such as listing on the relevant PHARMAC pharmaceutical schedule or other relevant formulary.
- Janssen reserves the right to discontinue or suspend supply for factors that may be out of its control including but not limited to if the medication is deregistered or discontinued, there is a safety issue or any regulator action or in the event of limited or no availability of the medication.
- You shall advise each Enrolled Patient of the fact that Janssen cannot guarantee ongoing free supply of this medicine and that the ongoing use of this medicine will be a financial cost borne solely by the Enrolled Patient
- You may terminate this arrangement at any time on notice to Atlantis. You understand that if you terminate the arrangement, all of your Enrolled Patients will cease to receive medicine through the AccessPlus program unless enrolled by an alternate doctor.
- All adverse events and medicine complaints must be reported via fax to Janssen Drug Safety on +61 2 9888 9817, email to LSO_AUST@its.jnj.com or directly to a Janssen Representative.
