Drug repurposing includes approved drug indication expansion, drug-like compound repositioning, and drug reformulation strategies to help get medicines to patients faster. Because repositioning leverages sunk costs for compounds that have failed to reach market, and approved drugs can be reformulated or repurposed to treat a different disorder, the cost often times to get the new therapy to market is reduced. Will “repurposing" disrupt the current market? How can academia, industry, and health authorities collaborate to advance drug repurposing efforts? What is needed to overcome economic, patent, and regulatory hurdles to get repurposed drugs to patients faster? These questions and others will be addressed during this DIAmond session by an esteemed panel of representatives from NIH NCATS, Cures Within Reach, industry, and academia.

Learning Objectives

Define the concept of drug repurposing; Discuss opportunities and challenges for academia, industry, and health authorities to collaborate to advance drug repurposing efforts; Review the economic, patent, and regulatory hurdles that exist to get repurposed drugs to patients faster.
