“Suffice to say that Donald Trump’s claim that right-to-try is saving the lives of ‘thousands’ of patients is utterly divorced from reality. As a number of news sources have pointed out, for instance, Politico:

‘However, the Right to Try pathway was only used for four drugs last year. In fiscal 2023, the FDA received nearly 2,300 compassionate use requests and allowed most to proceed.’

“In actuality, 99% of expanded access requests had been granted by the FDA in the year prior to the passage of ‘right-to-try.’”
