Access to experimental medical treatments is expanding across the US

Montana’s recent expansion of its Right to Try law has allowed experimental treatments for non-serious patients, marking a significant shift in access to unproven therapies. A new bill now aims to regulate how clinics can legally sell these treatments, raising concerns about regulating unproven options and deviating from evidence-based medical practices, which typically require rigorous clinical trials before approval. This trend reflects a broader trend in the U.S., where compassionate use programs bypass traditional safety checks for experimental drugs, potentially endangering patients with desperate needs.
