Abstract

Orphan drugs are the stepchildren of the pharmaceutical industry. These medicinal products that are used primarily for the prevention or treatment of life‑threatening or debilitating rare diseases have restricted markets and thus limited profitability. As a consequence, the pharmaceutical industry has little interest in developing and marketing these drugs which are intended for patients who suffer from rare conditions.
