Letter to the U.S. House of Representatives Opposing the Newest “False Hope” Legislation
In a letter to the U.S. House of Representatives, Public Citizen strongly opposed the “Right to Try Act of 2018.” Although the bill has several improvements over the Senate-passed version of this legislation (S. 204), it still has fundamental flaws that make it dangerous for patients. In particular, the bill would offer false hope to patients by creating a dangerous pathway for access to experimental drugs and biological products that bypasses the Food and Drug Administration’s existing Expanded Access program.
