Mission: Cures Within Reach (CWR) leverages the speed, safety and cost-effectiveness of testing already approved therapies for new indications that improve patient quality and length of life, serving philanthropic and/or commercial uses – driving more treatments to more patients more quickly. CWR's focus: funding the projects that, when successful, will catalyze follow-on funding and/or further trials and publications. CWR focuses on impacting patients with unmet medical needs, whether a repurposed treatment may have philanthropic value or commercial value.
Results: For nearly 15 years, our disease-agnostic funding of over $8 million to over 115 projects at over 75 institutions has helped to catalyze more than $80 million in follow-on funding – leveraging $8 in new funding for each $1 that CWR invested. To date, our successful projects are impacting patients broadly in more than 19 indications.
Target demographics: patients with unmet medical needs
Geographic areas served: medical repurposing research
