Identifying repurposing opportunities
• Random screening – Modest hit rate using phenotypic (cell-based)
disease models yields: • Novel (off-target) activities of known molecules • Intersections of known biology with disease
pathways in unexpected ways
• Observational (informatics) approaches – Complement screening approaches
• Key is then translating these opportunities (TRND)

Repurposing Development Models ‘The best way to develop a drug is to start with a drug’
• NIH’s goal is to affect public health – Ideally, by facilitating commercial development
• Exclusivity based on patent, orphan, pediatric, product differentiation (route, formulation …)
– Or not • Partnerships to support clinical characterization • Registration might not be end goal (oncology off-
label compendia)
![Page 11: Competing & Collaborating to Achieve Successful Drug ... · ‘The best way to develop a drug is to start with a drug’ • Repurposing extends beyond existing products – Dose,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062921/5f05185c7e708231d4113d0b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Repurposing Development Models ‘The best way to develop a drug is to start with a drug’
• Repurposing extends beyond existing products – Dose, route, prodrug – Clinical candidates (e.g. safe but not efficacious),
GRAS, biochemical intermediates, DESI, etc. – Drug lead to drug (thalidomide to Revlimid)
Repurposing is not to avoid all costs of filing an IND, but dramatically reduce the cost and risk of development to address unmet needs; re-doing preclinical tox studies is relatively cheap in exchange for overall reduced risk
