Doctors for America’s FDA Task Force is calling for data and transparency to protect our patients in light of the FDA’s recent approval of Wellcovorin (leucovorin calcium) tablets for the treatment of autism, despite insufficient evidence of efficacy.

Autism is a complex condition that demands evidence-based, clinically proven treatments. By approving a therapy without adequate data, the FDA risks undermining both its credibility and the integrity of the regulatory process. We urge the agency to take corrective action and reaffirm its commitment to rigorous scientific standards.
