The reason being their low market value and sales of orphan a drug is so miniscule that it will not enable them to even recover a fraction of the investment made in them.</p> <p>After the inception of “Orphan Drugs” act 4500 orphan designations have been approved, 730 biologic drug products have been approved to treat 250 Orphan designations.</p> <p>In the past decades, orphan designations have doubled in number when compared to its preceding decade but only 1/5th of the developed medications to treat them and received regulatory approval.</p&gt;}, number={4}, journal={International Journal of Drug Regulatory Affairs}, author={S.
