Orphan Drugs

The Orphan Drugs Market is set to Rise as a Result of Pharma Companies
now Looking to Orphan Drugs as an Essential Revenue Stream in 2014

 

As of January 2014, the EMA lifted the restriction on providing fee reductions to large companies developing new orphan drugs and the Early Access to Medicines Scheme was introduced. Key implementation of this will be a factor into further commercialisation and developments.
