lack approved therapies and adequate<br />
treatment. In these cases, caregivers are<br />

repository that allows cl<strong>in</strong>icians to<br />

cl<strong>in</strong>ical outcomes when drugs are used for<br />
new <strong>in</strong>dications, <strong>in</strong> new doses, or <strong>in</strong> new<br />
comb<strong>in</strong>ations. Cl<strong>in</strong>icians can also access<br />
cases entered by other users and view them<br />
as <strong>in</strong>dividual case reports or an aggregated<br />
dataset.<br />

uses can be identified for formal study by<br />
<strong>in</strong>stitutions <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> drug development,<br />

reported directly from cl<strong>in</strong>icians via the CURE<br />
ID app can help to identify drugs for further<br />
study, further drug development, and may<br />
