Follow-up Letter to the FDA
We delivered a letter to the FDA on Friday, June 4. In our letter, we requested that the agency:
- Issue a clear statement about its willingness to apply the flexibility described within the 2019 Guidance document.
- Commit to providing the ALS community with a detailed report about how it has been implementing the Guidance since it was issued.
As we made clear to the FDA, we simply cannot accept a world where people with ALS have to continually go before the agency to make our case again and again.
