Webinar: Cures Within Reach new funding call: Clinical trials to validate AI-driven drug repurposing
31 July 2025 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly seen as a powerful tool in the search for new treatments – especially through drug repurposing. By analysing large sets of data, AI can help identify existing medicines that might work for different conditions – something particularly valuable in rare diseases.
However, do AI-generated predictions actually work when tested in real-life clinical trials?
Cures Within Reach is helping to explore this question through a new funding call. They’re inviting letters of intent for Phase I/IIA clinical trials that will test and validate AI-based repurposing ideas, with a preference for rare disease.
This webinar hosted by Beacon for Rare Diseases in collaboration with REMEDi4ALL and Cures within Reach will cover:
- A breakdown of what this funding call is about
- Advice from Cures Within Reach on what makes a strong application
- How patient groups can get involved in applications
- A practical example of a patient group contributing to an AI-led initiative
- The opportunity to ask any questions you might have to the Cures Within Reach team
