KEY POINTS
- President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence had been major supporters of the “right-to-try”
- legislation, which would bypass drug regulators to give gravely ill patients access to experimental medicines.
Proponents say this gives patients hope they would not otherwise have.
- Critics say the legislation undermines the FDA’s authority to regulate drugs and could leave patients vulnerable to medicines that might not work or may even be harmful.
