Montana Enacts New "Right to Try" Law

Montana has recently enacted a "right to try" law, a legislative measure designed to grant patients with life-threatening conditions access to experimental treatments that have not yet received full FDA approval. This new law is being met with significant hope and urgency by families facing severe medical challenges. One such family is that of Kris DeVault, whose son, Brody, born in March 2023, has been diagnosed with profound developmental delays. Brody has consistently missed critical milestones in speech, movement, and coordination, leading to a desperate search for potential remedies. The "right to try" law offers a new avenue for families like the DeVaults to explore unapproved therapies, providing a glimmer of hope where conventional treatments have been exhausted or are unavailable.
