On May 12, 2026, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a notice in the Federal Register requesting comment on the agency’s efforts related to drug repurposing to help address unmet medical needs. In this request for information (RFI), FDA is seeking input to identify potential new uses for FDA-approved drugs—such as a new indication or a new population—to help accelerate the availability of treatments for unmet medical needs. Stakeholders are encouraged to submit priority disease areas and potential candidates for drug repurposing, particularly in cases where there is a lack of commercial incentive to pursue labeling changes or a significant unmet need.
