Unfortunately, it's also been incredibly effective propaganda. Terminally ill patients have been weaponized against critics by #RightToTry advocates in the the same way that cancer quack Stanislaw #Burzynski weaponized terminally ill cancer patients. 1/https://twitter.com/CoyneoftheRealm/status/973529598377058304 …
It is, but it requires greatly diminishing a patient's right to legal recourse, which to me is coercive.

There's no way around that though. Drug makers shouldn't be responsible for AEs related to the optional use of an unfinished drug candidate. Terminally ill pts actively seek out drug trials that may offer hope--unfortunately, many can't get in. RTT would give them options.

I'm curious as to what the patients will be allowed to review prior to making a choice. IMO-they should have full access to the Investigators Brochure for that drug candidate so that they can be fully-informed.
