A $1.5M grant funds FIU research using existing drugs to treat hard-to-treat cancers, showing early promise.
A $1.5 million grant from the Tyler Trent Foundation is funding Florida International University research into repurposing safe, existing drugs—like antibiotics and antifungals—for hard-to-treat cancers.
The approach tests hundreds of non-cancer drugs directly on patients’ living tumor cells to find effective combinations, offering a faster, less toxic alternative to traditional chemotherapy.
Early results show improved responses, especially when more drugs are tested.
The work, led by Dr. Diana Azzam, aims to accelerate treatment access by using medications already approved and familiar to doctors.
The foundation was created in memory of Tyler Trent, a young osteosarcoma patient whose advocacy and optimism continue to inspire cancer research and patient care efforts.
