==Appeal to NIH for a clinical trial for Ampligen== In May 2016, the [[Trans-NIH ME/CFS Working Group]] published a Request for Information (RFI) seeking the public’s input on needs, opportunities and strategies for ME/CFS research and research training.<ref>https://www.nih.gov/research-training/medical-research-initiatives/mecfs/nih-requested-comments-me/cfs-research-efforts</ref> Robert and Courtney Miller wrote that the: "NIH should immediately fund a small, well-powered clinical trial to demonstrate efficacy of Ampligen for treatment of ME/CFS patients or a subset thereof, soliciting applications in 2016 from clinicians experienced in treating patients with Ampligen. The trial should be double-blind, placebo-controlled, demonstrating efficacy and characterizing responders." The RFI was co-signed by several other ME/CFS advocacy groups and included an attachment of "a sampling of 800 email testimonies appealing to the FDA to approve Ampligen"...[and] "a 2015 letter by leading ME/CFS clinicians and experts urging the federal government to move toward approval of Ampligen."<ref>https://www.nih.gov/sites/default/files/research-training/initiatives/mecfs/rfi-responses-patients.pdf</ref>
