Drug Repurposing for COVID-19 with CORONA Registry (COvid 19 Registry of Off-label & New Agents)
The global crisis due to COVID19 and the urgent need to identify effective therapeutics prompted Dr. David Fajgenbaum from the University of Pennsylvania and his research team to create a database that tracks every off-label and experimental drug being used to treat COVID-19 patients. This registry, dubbed the COvid19 Registry of Off-label & New Agents, will help researchers identify treatments that deserve to be more fully examined in clinical trials. Dr. David Fajgenbaum, MD, MBA, MSc, is a groundbreaking physician-scientist, disease hunter, speaker, and bestselling author of the acclaimed memoir, Chasing My Cure: A Doctor’s Race to Turn Hope Into Action.
