1 in 10 of us live with a disease without an approved therapy. Even more frightening is that 50-80% of people with rare diseases are children, 30% of whom will not survive until kindergarten. Repurposing existing drugs for new indications is both faster and less expensive than

One of the leading causes of infertility in women may be treatable with a repurposed drug! PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) affects 1 in 10 women, and a drug initially developed for malaria has shown promise in a small clinical trial. Researchers in China identified this

The doctor who deserves the next Nobel Prize created a life-saving drug and even tested it on himself! Kazu Yoshizaki was studying Castleman disease when he developed a drug called tocilizumab. However, the ethics committee in Japan wouldn’t allow him to administer it to

To develop a new drug from scratch, a drug company needs to invest 10 years and a billion dollars. However for every clinical trial that Every Cure embarks on, we're looking at an investment of $1 to $5 million. This dramatic reduction is possible because we're not starting from

Early on in my life I always thought there was “they” looking for cures for all diseases. Unfortunately I was wrong. In my book I call it the Santa Claus theory of civilization: that for every problem in the world, there are surely people working diligently—in workshops near

I first decided I wanted to go into medicine after my mom passed away from a glioblastoma brain tumor. I promised her I would dedicate my life to finding treatments for patients like her. Recently, we came across a study that found that the antidepressant Prozac might be a

Did you know that a repurposed drug saved the most promising treatment in all of cancer research? Here’s the untold story of a drug initially approved for Castleman Disease that saved CAR T-cell therapy and a young girl's life. (🧵1/6)

Viagra is one of the best examples of repurposing. It was originally developed for heart-related chest pain before being repurposed for its well-known use. But did you know it's also used to save the lives of children suffering from a rare lung disease? Here's how it works 👇

What does Nobel Prize Winner Dr. Drew Weissman think of drug repurposing? Like us, he thinks it’s a no brainer! Developing new treatments for diseases is costly, time-consuming and driven by profit. Novel drug development requires $1-2B and 10-15 years per drug, and has a 90%
