Does a treatment that is already FDA-approved for something else qualify for Right to Try?

Doctors may already prescribe treatments ‘off-label.’ Off-label means prescribing an FDA approved treatment for a condition, dose, or population other than what the FDA approved. Therefore, no special permission is needed for a physician to prescribe treatments that are approved for other conditions. Right to Try applies to treatments that are being given to patients in clinical trials but are not already FDA approved.

let me state again from my last post:
looks like black letter law to me...

Therefore, no special permission is needed for a physician to prescribe treatments that are approved for other conditions.
