Breaking Barriers — The Future of Repurposed Drugs in Cancer Therapy

Repurposing existing drugs like ivermectin and mebendazole offers a groundbreaking path forward in the war against cancer. Learn how Courage Against Cancer’s preclinical work on ovarian cancer may help establish the safety, mechanisms, and efficacy of these overlooked therapies — and how you can help us bridge science and compassion in the fight for human healing.

Introduction: Rethinking the Path to Cancer Cures

Modern oncology has made great strides, but the staggering cost of new cancer drugs and their limited accessibility leave millions without hope. At Courage Against Cancer (CAC), we believe the future lies in reimagining what’s already in our medicine cabinet. Repurposed drugs — safe, inexpensive, and well-understood — could offer a faster, more inclusive route to healing.


Why Repurposed Drugs Matter

Repurposed therapies like ivermectin and mebendazole have shown promising anti-cancer mechanisms in preclinical research — including the ability to disrupt tumor metabolism, inhibit angiogenesis, and trigger apoptosis in resistant cancer cells. Unlike novel compounds, these drugs already have established safety profiles, which can drastically reduce development timelines and costs.

For patients fighting aggressive cancers, that difference can mean years of life gained.


The Courage Against Cancer Preclinical Study

CAC’s first major research initiative focuses on ivermectin and mebendazole against ovarian cancer, conducted through the Sood Lab at MD Anderson. This study represents a crucial first step toward FDA recognition of repurposed anti-cancer therapies.

By establishing molecular pathways and confirming tumor suppression effects in lab models, this research could pave the way for early-phase clinical trials — and open a new era of low-cost, science-based cancer care.


Overcoming Institutional Resistance

Despite growing global interest, research on nontraditional cancer treatments faces major obstacles: limited funding, regulatory barriers, and public skepticism. CAC exists to challenge that status quo. We’re building partnerships with medical researchers, patient advocates, and donors who believe that healing should not be reserved for the wealthy — but should be a human right supported by courage and compassion.


A Call for Courage — and Community Support

Every discovery begins with courage — the courage to question, to test, and to believe that better treatments are possible. Our foundation is powered by ordinary people who dare to make an extraordinary difference.


💙 Support Our Mission

Every day, thousands of families face cancer with limited options — but your generosity can change that. By donating to Courage Against Cancer (CAC), you help fund real scientific research into non-traditional, affordable, and repurposed cancer therapies like ivermectin and mebendazole. Our mission is to bring hope and healing where conventional systems have fallen short — by advancing evidence-based, natural, and alternative therapies toward FDA-recognized validation.

Every contribution, large or small, directly supports our ongoing preclinical study on ovarian cancer, educational outreach, and future clinical trial development.
Join us in transforming courage into cures.
