How can I get a researcher to research a drug for my affliction?
I have a relatively rare disease, and just recently discovered that a drug helps me with some of my symptoms. The drug is not approved by the FDA for how I am using it.

Who do I contact, and how do I contact them, to get the research done so that this drug can become approved by the FDA for how I am using it?

You can contact the FDA from their website, fda.gov.

Since you're a patient with a disease, I would use the FDA Patient Network Program.

Office of Health and Constituent Affairs: 301-796-8460; email: PatientNetwork@fda.hhs.gov

Please note that your doctor does not need FDA approval to use a drug in an off-label manner.

Can there be any problems for doctor if a drug is prescribed for conditions that are not on the label or FDA-approved?
