Show full summary
- Physicians: Doctors could apply for a special registration to directly give Schedule I eligible investigational drugs to eligible patients. Applications must include proof of existing controlled‑substance registration, manufacturer verification and supply agreement, training and site details, and the Attorney General would approve or deny applications within 45 days and supplemental quantity requests would be deemed approved after 30 days unless challenged.
- Patients and manufacturers: Eligible patients under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act’s Right To Try framework would gain a clearer pathway to care, and manufacturers or sponsors must verify drug eligibility, agree to supply the drug, and provide administration guidance to the treating physician.
- Oversight and controls: The Attorney General would have to allow electronic submissions, permit a single registration to cover related sites in the same city or county under one institution, and issue an interim final rule within 240 days and a final rule within 2 years to set delivery, storage, recordkeeping, renewal, suspension, and other anti‑diversion safeguards.
