Dr. Hahn, Congratulations on Your Confirmation to Serve As the FDA Dr. Hahn, Congratulations on your confirmation to serve as the FDA Commissioner. We write to follow-up on your promise to Senators Murkowski and Braun to make real a pathway to provide access to promising therapies to those living with ALS today. The signers of this letter are fighting to save lives. That sentence could be written about any number of terminal illnesses. Today, it is about this generation living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Not because ALS is unique. Instead, like so many others living with terminal illnesses this ALS generations’ fight to save their lives lays bare that we must fundamentally change how we provide access to promising treatments to those who are simply fighting for a chance to live. ALS was discovered over 150 years ago. Lou Gehrig died from it nearly 80 years ago. It afflicts those as young as nine and can occur in every race, gender and ethnicity. Today someone alive is diagnosed with ALS approximately every 5 minutes. It will take their capacity to use their arms, use their legs, to speak, to eat, and ultimately rob them of their ability to breathe. For most, within two to five years. There are no survivors. Ever. This letter, however, is not about the past. It is about the present and the future which for the fight against ALS is finally bright. For the first time in history, the ALS drug development pipeline includes a diverse array of novel treatments from stem cell therapies to gene therapies like those using antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and adeno-associated viruses (AAVs). Not only do these therapies exist, but the science behind them has progressed forward more in the last decade than in the prior 140 years. The hope that this has created in this ALS generation is palpable. This hope has been turned into dire frustration, and indeed, death, for this ALS generation as our current system does not effectively and efficiently provide patients with access to promising therapies prior to full FDA approval. To be clear, FDA and Congress have made sincere efforts to create faster processes for “rare” or “terminal” diseases like ALS. These include Expanded Access Programs, Fast Track Approvals and Right to Try. We truly appreciate those efforts. The existing system, however, fails those living with ALS today. Right to Try and Expanded Access while potentially powerful weapons are nearly unused due to access, funding and regulatory transparency issues. Moreover, the last ALS drug to be approved by the FDA through the Fast Track process took over five years to wind through trials and approvals. Other drugs have been stuck in clinical trials for nearly a dozen years. Under this timeline, tens of thousands of Americans living with ALS died waiting. This reality for ALS and other terminal diseases is unacceptable. It is particularly unacceptable given that those suffering from terminal illness are willing and motivated to accept risks in the treatment trial process to speed the development of effective therapies. So far, these patient voices have been ignored. That ends now. Previous efforts failed to provide a clear, accessible, and funded pathway that would ensure: (i) access to investigational drugs for life-threatening illness where there is no comparable approved therapy; and (ii) that those terminal patients brave enough to sacrifice their bodies for science are guaranteed access to that therapy post-trial if they so desire. It’s time to provide both. Critically neither of these ideas are novel. The first merely requires updating the more than 20 year old Expanded Access Pathway which FDA has used successfully in oncology. The second adopts a practice that is quickly becoming the norm for humane clinical trials, but arrives too late for some trials that are far along the FDA clinical trial process. Both are about making real a simple principle: actually protecting the lives of Americans through a process that works for patients. Those signing this letter represent every political background because this is not a political issue. This is a human rights issue. This ALS generation lives in a time of unparalleled breakthroughs built on public and private funding. It is uniquely cruel to deprive those on whose backs progress is made the opportunity to fight to save their own lives. We recognize that this letter is short on details for both programs. Those will be coming soon as we have already wasted too much time and lost too many lives. Nothing good is easy, but this fight is too important to too many people not to press the fight with urgency today. It’s time.
