Tumbling over the patent cliff, many Big Pharma companies are being forced to find new strategies for sustaining sales growth, wherever possible minimizing the risk of generic competition. One of the sectors often cited as an opportunity for this is orphan diseases, where companies are provided incentives to develop drugs for these rare disorders which might otherwise be less commercially viable. The biggest and most pertinent benefit is clearly the guaranteed 7-year exclusivity period. Unsurprisingly then, Big Pharma has bought into orphan drugs in a major way, most notably Sanofi with its acquisition of Genzyme.
Indeed, Big Pharma now has the lion’s share of the orphan drugs market, as 77% of approved orphan drug sales in 2011 are derived from Big Pharma players. The implications of this are two-fold: in recent years, Big Pharma has been shifting away from the primary care blockbuster model while placing greater focus on specialty sectors, and personalized medicines targeting smaller patient populations with high value drugs. Consequently, many established companies have turned to deal-making activity with specialist players in an effort to secure promising pipeline candidates.
