Drug repurposing is the process of discovering new therapeutic uses for existing drugs.

Drug repurposing can encompass any one of the following activities: 

• Repositioning drug candidates that are currently in clinical development to new disease indications
• Targeting drugs that have been abandoned or failed to demonstrate efficacy for a particular indication during phase II or III trials to new disease indications 
• Targeting marketed or off-patent drugs to new disease indications
• Reformulation of drugs including novel delivery systems 
• Novel combination therapies

With the Repurposing TIN, we want to: 

• Identify the Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ repurposing community 
• Scope and engage with new members 
• Attract and educate the existing repurposing community
• Provide an overview of key issues within the community and work together to overcome these 
• Explore new opportunities 
• Provide funding/translation advice
