Rare and Orphan Diseases in Regulated Development

So, you didn’t receive a rare/orphan disease designation as expected. What does that mean? What are your next steps?

During the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) orphan drug designation process, it’s important to maximize your chance for success. Therapies to treat rare/orphan diseases are often not available, and even more importantly, the development and regulatory challenges for these diseases are constantly evolving. Orphan drugs have historically faced a number of barriers, such as limited research and development (R&D) investment due to an expected lack of profitability as well as challenges in clinical trial design and recruitment.

The good news: The Orphan Drug Act’s (ODA) original impetus was to spur drug development to help treat orphan/rare diseases. It has resulted in measurable improvements in the number of drugs approved over the 30 years of the ODA.

In other news: Clinical development challenges and meeting key agency regulatory milestones continue to impede the impetus of bringing life-changing, innovative therapies to market quickly and safely. Understanding FDA expectations is the first step to ensure a successful designation and go-to-market process.
