Right to Try for Individualized Treatments Act
To amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to authorize the use of investigational individualized medical treatments by patients diagnosed with a life-threatening disease or condition or severely debilitating illness, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB9190, proposes to change federal law to allow people diagnosed with life-threatening or severely debilitating conditions to try experimental treatments. These treatments are not yet fully approved but could potentially help them. The bill's goal is to give patients more options for their health when traditional treatments are not working.
If this bill becomes law, it would affect people with serious illnesses who may not have other treatment options. It aims to give them access to treatments that could be life-saving or improve their quality of life, even if those treatments are still being studied. This could provide hope and additional choices for those in critical health situations.
As of the latest update on June 8, 2026, the bill was introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. This means it is now under review by a specific committee that will consider its details, propose changes, and decide if it should move forward in the legislative process.
