Recently, the Montana legislature passed a bill that allows medical institutions to sell drugs that have only passed Phase I clinical trials without the need for U.S. FDA approval. The legislation was promoted by a group of people committed to extending human life span, including scientists, libertarians and opinion leaders. They hope that Montana can become a testing ground for medical innovation, providing more options for patients, especially those with terminal illnesses or those who are ineffective with existing treatments, so that they can have earlier access to some experimental drugs that may have potential therapeutic effects. What exactly does this bill include? First, doctors can apply for a license to open an experimental treatment clinic to recommend and sell non-FDA-approved therapies to patients. #No FDA approval required At the same time, these clinics must disclose all treatment effect and adverse event data to patients and regulators, and publish treatment ...
Intestinal microbes that survive chemo can rid the gut of excess chemo drugs and produce a vitamin that helps to stem nausea. Chemotherapy doesn’t just kill cancer cells. It also affects the microbes in the digestive tract. Researchers at UC San Francisco have discovered that some gut bacteria can reduce the side effects of these potent treatments, and that one family of cancer drugs may actually boost these protective bacteria. The phenomenon could help physicians to predict the severity of a patient’s side effects and points the way to supplements that could help those whose guts aren’t sufficiently protecting them. Clearing drugs from the body Turnbaugh’s team found that colorectal cancer patients taking a class of chemotherapy drugs known as fluoropyrimidines had much less diverse microbiomes in their digestive systems. But the surviving bacteria did something amazing. “They were able to gobble up the chemotherapy and chemically transform it ...
|In a major policy shift, federal health officials anticipate the shots will be made available to adults 65 and older as well as children and younger adults who have one or more risk factors that make them more vulnerable to severe COVID-19.

For other Americans, the Food and Drug Administration will require an additional clinical trial before signing off on their shots. FDA Commissioner Marty Makary and FDA vaccine ...
