There appears to be a new phenomenon where patient advocacy groups are able to pressure the FDA into approving medications for conditions with no existing treatment (I found out about this when reading the fact sheet that came with a medication that kept stating it had no statistically significant effect for the thing it had been prescribed for - as to why my doctor even prescribed it is another story). The people providing this pressure are either stock puppets or just desperate for hope, but either way the fact that the FDA will ever cave like this is horrendous.
