Biogen to offer potentially life-saving drug to ALS patients this year

Drugmaker Biogen announced it will offer the drug Tofersen to ALS patients in certain circumstances this summer. Earlier this year, WCNC Charlotte's Bill McGinty began following the story of Lisa Stockman Mauriello, a woman dying from ALS, who pleaded with Biogen for access to Tofersen under "compassionate use." After initially rejecting her plea, the drugmaker relented and will make it available to patients like Mauriello. For so many families, an investigational drug is their last shred of hope. https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/hea...
