About everycure.org

In 2010, Every Cure’s cofounder Dr. David Fajgenbaum was a third-year medical student when he became critically ill with Castleman disease (CD). He spent months hospitalized in critical condition and nearly died five times. David was told there were no more options for his disease and waiting for a new treatment – requiring billions of research dollars and 10-15 years – was not a possibility. Repurposing an existing drug was his only hope. Repurposing existing drugs for new uses is possible, because many diseases share the same underlying problem or mechanism in the body and many drugs can have multiple mechanisms of action.
