Abstract in brief

  • The text discusses the development and regulation of orphan medicinal products (drugs for rare diseases) in the European Union (EU) and the United States (US), highlighting the number of designations, approvals, and indications up to December 2015.
  • In the EU, there were 1,264 orphan drug designations with 133 approved products covering 179 indications, while in the US, 3,082 designations led to 415 approved products covering 521 indications.
  • Despite incentives, certain rare disease categories lack marketed treatments in the EU, particularly for bone, connective tissue, and reproductive diseases, and many orphan drugs are approved for children; if all approvals were combined, many additional indications could be covered.]
