What is Orphan Drugs Market?
Germany had the highest approval rate of orphan drugs at 98% however, most of these recommendations (73%) were awarded a ‘non-quantifiable benefit’ rating, the automatic rating for an orphan drug, which shows the regulator did not see any benefit compared to comparator products Orphan drugs are the drugs used to treat, prevent, or diagnose an orphan disease. An orphan disease is a rare disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. Orphan diseases are often serious or life-threatening. In 1983, the United States government passed a law, called the Orphan Drug Act, to give drug companies certain financial benefits for developing orphan drugs that are safe and effective.
