Orphan Disease – Market Challenges
Orphan Drugs require a different approach in commercial marketing compared to traditional pharmaceutical products. The market for each different orphan disease is miniscule. Two Labs uses launch analogs to provide the pharma industry with a detailed understanding of successfully launched orphan drugs.

Advocacy Organization Development
Strengthening existing advocacy organization or helping create a new one
Trial Design Optimization

Access and Reimbursement Development
Developing appropriate access so that all patients can benefit from the new therapy
Appropriate Pricing
Learn from others to optimize return winning price strategies
Targeting The Orphan Drug Market
There are numerous ways a pharma & biotech company can target the patients and physicians of the orphan drug market.
During the pre-launch phase, the strategy should educate the market about the rare disease and develop more awareness. Pharma & biotech companies should use the following examples for effective promotional strategies during the pre-launch:
- Enhance awareness for patients, family, and healthcare providers, preceding the launch of the product, in cooperation with advocacy group.
- Create a sense of community for those who suffer with the rare disease. Encourage the patients to register and share their story.
- Encourage patients to register, thereby helping the pharma company build a potential client pool by the time the drug is ready to be launched.
- Use a medical claim analysis to identify the doctors currently treating these patients.
