Last month Utah Governor Gary Herbert signed into law the Right to Try Act, which provides terminally ill patients access to experimental drugs that have completed at least early-stage clinical testing.

We spoke to Jonathan Johnson, founder of Utah’s Right to Try Foundation, about the law, how it works, and the difference he expects it will make for patients who have exhausted available therapeutic options.
