There are "right to try" laws both Federally and in 40+ states. It's unfortunate the author doesn't address those, I'm curious how they interact with his case.

It appears that he is in New York, which doesn’t have a right to try law on the books.

If that is the reason, perhaps temporarily moving to another state might help? The author appears to still be mobile.

Absolutely, the closest state to NY with a "right to try" law is Connecticut. Pennsylvania also has one. https://righttotry.org/in-your-state/

Edit: Also, the federal law applies regardless of location: https://righttotry.org/rtt-faq/

"I do not live in a state with a Right to Try law. Can I still use Right to Try?

"Yes. S.204 makes Right to Try the law of the land. So long as a patient and treatment meet the qualifications of the federal law, Right to Try applies, regardless of whether the patient’s state adopted Right to Try."
