There’s still time to REGISTER for this conference on RARE DISEASE AND ORPHAN DRUGS 1 – 2 October

Orphan drugs are prescription medicines designed for the detection, mitigation or treatment of life-threatening or crippling unusual disorders. They are ‘orphans’ since, under standard business circumstances, the pharmaceutical sector has no interest in producing and selling medications approved for such a limited group of people with extremely uncommon conditions.

The critical public health problem is the increasing number of uncommon diseases which need care. The shortage of opportunities for drug makers and the absence of compelling data for the approvals also restrict the amount of potential experimental products that eventually enter the market.
Most of the uncommon disorders are triggered by single gene defects, sometimes arising as genetic illnesses with a clear sequence of Mendelian inheritance. Many of the medical breakthroughs in disease science over the past few decades have emerged from studies into genetic diseases. Clinical trials are carefully and ethically conducted in order to protect patients against unwanted adverse reactions and to allow collection and accurate analysis of the information concerning the disease. Pharmaceutical firms have been focused steadily on producing infectious disorder medicines. It is partially thanks to scientific advancements helping to recognize the molecular origins of infectious diseases.



The FDA Office for the Promotion of Orphan Products (OOPD) was established to recognize and support orphan goods. Rare diseases, as described broadly in the US Orphan Drug Act (ODA), are illnesses or disorders with an incidence of fewer than 200,000 individuals. Grants to Orphan drugs for clinical research are a validated way of effectively promoting and supporting the production of novel safe and efficient uncommon disease / condition medicinal goods. After 1983 the Orphan Products Grants Program has funded clinical testing trials and promoted the marketing acceptance of over 60 products. OOPD funded grants ensure that product development occurs in a timely manner with a very modest investment. To tackle the existing unmet demand and the shortage of care for certain uncommon diseases, the FDA is concentrating its attention on a potential funding mechanism to promote and push experimental drug treatments in healthy and effective ways by promoting creative clinical research approaches such as scalable and streamlined study formats, modelling and simulations, and basket and umbrella trials. A variety of legislative opportunities have prompted an increasing commitment by the biotech and pharmaceutical industry in the production. When this law was passed very few businesses were involved in producing orphan medicines. In reality, only about ten drugs for unusual diseases had been introduced into the market in the ten years before the Orphan Drugs Act was enacted. There has been a huge interest in the room for rare diseases, particularly by small biotech companies but also by bigger biopharmaceutical companies, according to the regulations. It culminated in well over 600 orphan medicinal products licensed to date.


The goal of this Conference is uniting all well-known clinical researchers, biotech professionals, Medical Advisories, Academicians and decision makers to discuss possible ways to accelerate orphan drug development and access to rare disease patients, including the introduction of recent technologies and products to help aid the access of orphan drugs


Why to Attend?
