What’s happening with Clinical Trial Modernization Act?
The Clinical Trial Modernization Act remains stalled in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Committee on Ways and Means as of June 2026. Members of these committees must take action to advance the bill, but most legislation fails to receive a committee vote and dies in this stage. The Senate version, S. 4440, has also seen no movement since its referral to the Committee on Finance on April 28, 2026.
