The topic focus is on rare-disease policy, access, and pricing, as well as the stakeholder landscape for low-prevalence disorders and orphan drugs. For the purposes of this analysis, local definitions for rare disease were used where available, as well as conventional definitions of both “ultra-orphan” disorders and rare tumor types.
The insights in this analysis are aimed at a general audience within the market access and pricing field, with a limited amount of disease-specific information. In this review, key market access customers for rare diseases in 20 emerging markets have been analyzed, as well as pricing and funding pathways where these specifically relate to orphan drugs.
