Trump signs right-to-try bill, says 'mas­sive' vol­un­tary drug price cuts com­ing in two weeks

Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump on Wednes­day signed in­to law the “Right-to-Try” bill, but the news of the day came in a side com­ment when he said drug com­pa­nies in the next two weeks will an­nounce “mas­sive drops in drug prices.” He did not of­fer any specifics on the vol­un­tary price re­duc­tions.

The new law, mean­while, will al­low ter­mi­nal­ly ill pa­tients with lim­it­ed op­tions to ask bio­phar­ma com­pa­nies if they can use ex­per­i­men­tal treat­ments out­side clin­i­cal tri­als.
