Tanner Pharma Group and Biodexa Launch Global Early Access Program for FAP Patients31.3.2026 15:00:00 EEST | Press release
Tanner Pharma Group, a global provider of specialty medicine access solutions, and Biodexa Pharmaceuticals PLC (Nasdaq: BDRX), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative products for gastrointestinal cancers, have announced a strategic partnership to enable global access to eRapa for patients with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) through an Early Access / Named Patient Program. FAP is characterized by a proliferation of polyps in the colon and/or rectum, usually occurring in mid-teens.

Through this collaboration, Tanner Pharma will facilitate compliant, controlled access to eRapa
