The Magic of Repurposing - Celebrating 20 Years

Driving More Treatments to More Patients More QuicklyCures Within Reach(CWR) is a US-based philanthropic leader that leverages the speed, safety and cost-effectiveness of testing already approved therapies for new indications to improve patient quality and length of life that serve philanthropic and/or commercial uses. The COVID19 pandemic shined a spotlight on what CWR has known for over 15 years: clinical repurposing trials are a globally accepted way to quickly bring possible treatments to patients. CWR focuses on first-in-human or proof-of-concept clinical repurposing trials that, if successful, catalyze follow-on funding needed to continue the research – building evidence for clinicians to make their own decisions with their patients (called off-label use), or for regulatory approval. CWR is institution-, geography- and disease-agnostic, focused on finding treatments for patients with unmet medical needs. Launched in 2005 and focused solely on repurposing since 2008, its funding of over $8 million to over 100 projects has helped to catalyze more than $80 million in follow-on funding – leveraging $10 in new funding for each $1 that CWR invested.
