Sign The Letter
Rep. Melanie Stinnett has sponsored the "Hope for Missouri Patients Act" an expansion of right to try options for terminally ill patients.
The Hope for Missouri Patients Act-
- Allows patients with life threatening or debilitating illness access to developing drugs
- Allows for individualized treatments designed specifically for that patient
- Allows doctors to recommend patients for experimental treatments
- Provides crucial lifesaving data for drug companies to expand drugs to a wider audience
"Rapid medical innovations have made it possible to take an individual’s genetic information and create a treatment for that individual person. More patients, especially those with rare and ultra-rare illnesses, will pursue these treatments when they have exhausted other options. The FDA’s current regulatory scheme is not designed to handle these kinds of individual treatments, but luckily the Right to Try for Individualized Treatments Act creates a pathway for patients to responsibly access them to improve or even save their lives." - Goldwater Institute
