Patients Need Treatments Fast

Patients Rising Podcast

There’s a new bill that could help many rare disease patients gaining traction, but it still has a long way to go. This week, we’re joined by Peter Pitts, a Former FDA Associate Commissioner, who gives us the lowdown on the Promising Pathways Act. He tells us what types of diseases are likely to be affected by this bill, and why it will make a significant difference in the lives of patients.

We also speak with Senator Mike Braun of Indiana, who introduced the bill alongside other legislators of both parties.
