The application of existing drugs for a different indication is called drug repurposing. If proven suitable, the drug can be available quickly, you would think. After all, the drug is already available. The efficacy is known, the safety has been demonstrated, and regulatory assessment has been completed . The development path is shorter and cheaper in comparison to traditional new drugs. A treasure trove?
