Are Orphan Diseases an Entry Point to Larger Markets?
— A Webinar from Decision Resources
You are invited to attend a complimentary webinar from Decision Resources, one of the world’s leading research and advisory firms focusing on pharmaceutical and healthcare issues.
This presentation is based on our Orphan Disease Series reports. Orphan drug status can offer companies a number of unique advantages for their agents, particularly as competition increases in larger disease states and the hurdles to gaining regulatory approval increase. The Orphan Disease Series provides critical market information for diseases with smaller patient populations, including disease prevalence, profiles of marketed and emerging agents and insight into the prescribing choices of disease specialists. These reports will help you to maximize the potential of your agents in these challenging markets, including insights into the regulatory benefits available and the potential for partnership with charitable organizations.
Current titles in the Orphan Disease Series:
Presented by Decision Resources’ Program Manager Jennifer Moniz Carpenter, M.B.A. the webinar will answer the following questions:
- How did makers of drugs like Remicade, Gleevec and Rituxan incorporate orphan drug designation in their lifecycle strategies?
- How has the Orphan Drug Act changed drug development? How many diseases are currently designated as orphan and how many drugs have received orphan status?
- What incentives do regulatory agencies offer to developers of orphan drugs? How do orphan drug policies differ across geographic regions? What other incentives are available for developers of orphan drugs?
- What opportunities do glaucoma, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and cystic fibrosis offer to agents looking for an entry point into larger markets? Which drugs in these markets could jump to larger patient populations?
Jennifer Moniz Carpenter and New Product Development Vice President Jason LaBonte, Ph.D., will conduct a live question and answer session after the presentation.
