ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease)
FDA deciding on the treatment GM604 - you can help!
There are things you can do now before the the FDA meets that could help ensure that the decision comes down in the favor of people suffering from ALS. 500,000 people need to sign the Petition for the FDA to take us seriously, and right now it is over 259,000+.
• Tweet directly to the FDA and tell them you stand with the ALS community and support approval of GM6. Tweet@US_FDA.
• Email the FDA directly to voice your support. The people at the FDA are the same as people all over the world. They have hearts. They feel empathy and compassion like everyone else, and explain why you feel that potentially life-saving treatments need to be made accessible to people with ALS now. Remind the FDA that GM604 has a very strong indication for efficacy and a huge indication of safety — it’s a “no-brainer”.
• Please email: druginfo@fda.hhs.gov and copy FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg: margaret.hamburg@fda.hhs.gov & Dr. William Dunn: william.dunn@fda.hhs.gov & Dr. Stephen Ostroff: stephen.ostroff@fda.hhs.gov (Make sure to keep it polite and professional–remember we are asking for their help.
