Millions of Dollars in Follow-on Funding Leveraged
Cures Within Reach measures our impact in several ways throughout the timeline of the projects we fund – both during the project and after the project is completed – including:
- Research aims met during the project: benefit is seen in patients during the project and/or publication or presentation of results
- Follow-on funding received for follow-on trials, impacting more patients
- Impacting patients broadly, wherever they live, through regulatory approval or off-label use
Our Success Stories and Case Studies
Our facilitated research has led to at least 21 treatments in use by patients today or funded for larger confirmatory clinical trials. The examples below include projects repurposing both drugs and devices, and projects that impact patients with rare diseases and diseases in larger populations.
