This week, Jeremy is joined by co-host Jessica Chapman to get an update on all the work being done to speed up the process of getting promising new treatments to people with ALS. They turn to Abram Bieliauskas, associate director of government affairs for The ALS Association, and Dave Zook, a consultant for the Association. Dave and Abram reflect on the recent We Can’t Wait Action Meeting with the FDA and lay out two promising bills recently reintroduced in Congress – the Promising Pathways Act and ACT for ALS.
