Two options off the top of my head. First, Drug Info. This is put out by
the Am Soc of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP). They usually include a
section on "Other Uses" that will discuss off-label uses or indications
for
which trials are being currently run. File 229 on Dialog.
Another option may be to try Medline and not out references that discuss
the drug's labelled uses. Review articles can also be helpful.

Does anyone know of a database which describes off-label uses of various
drugs?
We have called Dialog and been told that their pharmaceutical databases
don't have this information.
Thanks
