Worldwide pharmaceutical R&D spend is increasing each year, and the competition for a share of that investment is becoming fiercer. Companies need to demonstrate the potential value of their asset in commercial as well as scientific and clinical terms.
The slides in this deck define and identify value from a financial, clinical and commercial perspective while also exploring how to derive value for patients.
This slide highlights the changing environment and new focus on the research and development of orphan drugs in rare disease. The orphan drug market is growing at a significant rate. For example, in just two years, there was a 53% increase in orphan drug approvals from 2013 to 2015.

We understand the market because we have an experienced staff that works in it everyday. Although the network of people involved in the treatment and management of rare disease is relatively small, they are very important and frequently inter-related to one another. Relationships with individuals, whether they are patients or physicians are of paramount importance and must be leveraged. Since they are such a small group, you need to maximize your interactions with them through efficient interactions.
Thought leaders, patient support organizations and registries provide critical access to a limited patient population. These individuals need to be identified and engaged in a meaningful way. As patients and caregivers are typically more knowledgeable about their rare condition than in other diseases, deep insight can be obtained from them, which is really invaluable.
