Overview:
Following the example of the US FDA's Orphan Drug Act established in 1983, some Asian nations have developed orphan drug legislation, such as Singapore's Orphan Drug Exemption to the Medicines Act and Japan's Orphan Drug Amendment to the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law. While orphan drug laws in Asia may provide benefits for companies registering new drugs, such as marketing exclusivity, an expedited registration process, and a reduction in the number of clinical trials required, each registration process is unique and can pose a variety of challenges. This report reviews the orphan drug regulations throughout Asia and discusses various business issues related to orphan drugs in Asia. Lists of approved orphan drugs in the U.S., Japan and Korea as well as a list of orphan drug associations are also included.
Fully updated for 2010, with complete lists of orphan drugs approved in the US, Japan and Korea. Statistics, drug registration process infomration and health authority contact information are also fully updated for2010.
This report is 106 pages.
