This month, FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D. announced he plans to strengthen the FDA's expanded access program, including efforts to implement Right to Try legislation that was signed into law earlier this year. Congressman Biggs, a leading sponsor of the Right to Try bill, released the following statement:

"I applaud Commissioner Gottlieb and the FDA for their diligence in swiftly implementing Right to Try. This policy will give hope to countless of patients facing terminal illnesses around the country. It was an honor to play a small role in passing this legislation earlier this year, and I look forward to seeing the FDA's continued work to give Americans the right to try."
