C-Path’s Cure Drug Repurposing Collaboratory will host an in-person, three-day annual Conference and Regulatory Workshop on April 18-20, 2023, at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia. Together with key stakeholder groups including clinicians, researchers, foundations, nonprofits, patient advocates and regulators, CDRC will host a series of talks and roundtable discussions to share recent accomplishments.
This conference will better define how CDRC can best collaborate to capture real-world data to generate hypothesis regarding treatment efficacy using repurposed drugs for diseases of high unmet clinical need and where there is a lack of commercial incentives. The meeting will include key opinion leaders from numerous disease communities, experts on automated EHR data extraction, regulators from the global community, and partnerships to inform and champion large adaptive platform trials.
