Every Cure, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit, has been awarded a $48.3 million federal contract to develop an AI-driven program aimed at repurposing existing medications for rare diseases. This innovative approach will utilize algorithms to analyze thousands of approved drugs and identify potential new uses, streamlining a traditionally slow process. The initiative is backed by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health, which seeks to accelerate medical breakthroughs.
The project aims to create an open-source database and a portal for medical professionals and patients to contribute ideas. By generating predictive efficacy scores, Every Cure will evaluate which drugs have the highest potential for repurposing, ultimately recommending candidates for clinical trials. This could revolutionize treatment options for patients with rare diseases, highlighting the untapped potential of existing medications.
• Every Cure aims to automate drug repurposing using AI algorithms.
• The project will create a database for drug repurposing and patient input.
In this context, AI is used to analyze drug data and identify new treatment possibilities.
This scoring will guide decisions on which drugs to consider for further clinical trials.
