NCATS is hosting the Cures Acceleration Network Review Board Workshop:
Repurposing Off-Patent Drugs: Research & Regulatory Challenges on December 5-6, 2019. The workshop will assess challenges around finding new uses for drugs that are already on the market but lack commercial and regulatory incentives for research and development. On December 5 we will map out the challenges to repurposing off-patent drugs. On December 6, we will host interactive work sessions focused on capturing possible solutions.
The target audience includes patients, philanthropists, non-governmental organizations, academics, pharmaceutical developers, manufacturers, health economists, patent/intellectual property lawyers, regulatory policy experts, computational scientists, payors, and funders.

In support of this mandate, the CAN RB will co-host this public workshop to discuss challenges around finding new uses for drugs that are already on the market but lack commercial and regulatory incentives for research and development.
The workshop is being co-sponsored by the NCATS Cures Acceleration Network Review Board, NCATS Drug Development Partnership Programs, Food and Drug Administration, and Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA.
