RARE DISEASE DRUG DEVELOPMENT SOLUTIONS Combining extensive rare disease clinical trial experience with actionable, patient-centric approaches to address high unmet medical needs

At Covance, we recognize the importance of developing therapies to address indications with high unmet medical needs. About 200 approved therapies exist for just a few of the 7,000+ rare diseases affecting more than 350 million people who live with a rare disease.

A promising outlook

▶ Accelerated time to market. Orphan drugs in development average 3.9 years from Phase II to market versus 5.4 years for drugs without orphan status.

▶ Higher approval rates. Orphan drugs have been approved by the FDA at a much higher rate – 82% versus 35% – than traditional medicines.

▶ Increasing scientific understanding and technological capabilities. 80% of rare diseases are genetically defined.

Ongoing challenges

▶ Proving significant benefit and clinical superiority of a drug candidate.

▶ Finding eligible patients among a small population.

▶ Obtaining sufficient support with healthcare sites to recruit and retain participants.

▶ Designing a robust rare disease clinical trial that also aligns with patient-centered outcomes.
