Rare Disease Drug Development: Challenges and Strategies

A disease is defined as rare if the prevalence is fewer than 200,000 in the United States. It is estimated that there are more than 7,000 rare diseases, which collectively affect 30 million Americans or 10% of the US population. This diverse and complex disease area poses challenges for patients, caregivers, regulators, drug developers, and other stakeholders.

Rare Disease Drug Development: Challenges and Strategies provides an comprehensive overview of the common issues facing rare disease drug developers. It delves into the challenges specific to clinical development in small populations, discusses innovative drug development strategies in the evolving regulatory environment, and explores the generation and utilization of different data and evidence inside and beyond clinical trials. By using recent examples, the authors demonstrate these challenges and the development strategies that respond to them.
