analyses by the F.D.A.’s reviewers concluded there was not yet sufficient evidence that the medication could help patients live longer or slow the rate at which they lose functions like muscle control

‘The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved an experimental treatment for A.L.S., a severe neurological disorder that causes paralysis and death, despite questions about the therapy’s effectiveness.

The treatment, conceived about a decade ago by two college students, was approved even though analyses by the F.D.A.’s reviewers concluded there was not yet sufficient evidence that the medication could help patients live longer or slow the rate at which they lose functions like muscle control, speaking or breathing without assistance. Nevertheless, the agency decided to greenlight the drug without waiting two years for results of a large clinical trial, citing data showing the treatment to be safe and the desperation of patients with a disease that often causes death within two-to-five years.
