The Food and Drug Administration gave the green light on Thursday to gene therapy Otarmeni, a treatment for a rare inherited form of hearing loss that leaves babies completely deaf or only able to hear very loud sounds from birth. Regeneron said it would provide the one-and-done treatment at no cost to qualifying families, although medical care linked to administering it may still carry charges. The approval was later touted by President Donald Trump, who said the medication would be available through his TrumpRx pricing scheme as part of a wider deal with the drugmaker.
