4. The World Market for Orphan Drugs
In recent years, there has been a substantial increase in the number of drugs available to treat rare
("orphan") diseases. This comprehensive report, The World Market for Orphan Drugs, looks at this
trend and provides estimates for the market opportunity in the U.S., Europe, Japan and globally. With
over 400 pages of market analysis and over 120 figures and tables, the report provides in-depth
coverage of key competitors and important trends and challenges for makers of orphan drug
treatments.
Osteoporosis, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s are major factors affecting quality of life. Mortality
from cancer, diabetes, liver and kidney diseases has been slow to change, offering significant areas for
research breakthroughs. Cancer, poorly served by traditional chemotherapies, is a major opportunity
for biotech firms because the investment compared to return can be favorable: the field has high
priority with regulatory authorities who are willing to give it fast track status on the basis of smaller
(and therefore cheaper) clinical trials (a few extra months of survival could be enough to win FDA
approval); the clinical community is highly concentrated; and the market size is often larger than the
approved indication because of a high off-label use (for other cancers). Infectious diseases, the third
most common cause of death in many geographic regions, highlight the pressing need for new
therapies with novel mechanisms of action to avoid growing issues affecting this industry including a
top area of concern—drug resistance.
