Key dates --
The hearing will be at the FDA campus in Silver Spring, MD on Monday, February 25.
If you want to speak in person at the hearing you have to request that by the end of the business day tomorrow, Friday, February 8.
The public will be able to submit written comments from February 25 to March 25 using the online form.
It's important that as many people as possible show up in person and voice their opinions and ideas to the FDA on February 25. The have not offered an option for remote participation, but some PALS have emailed the FDA telling them that they need that accommodation. I encourage more would would like to participate but who can not travel because of their ALS to ask, too!
PALS and CALS should be the most important people at that hearing, and the more who speak up, the more likely the FDA will figure out some new, quicker ways to evaluate treatments.
