The federal law being pushed by Pence and his apparent handlers in the Koch shop features a couple of even worse provisions. One absolves drug companies of any liability for a drug administered under right-to-try. The other prohibits the FDA from considering the results of any such treatment in its review of the drug itself. In other words, Gorski notes, "even if a patient death is clearly due to use of an experimental drug under right-to-try, that death cannot be considered by theFDA in deciding whether to approve the drug…. This is profoundly anti-patient."
