Research and development

MILESTONES

Specialist regulatory affairs expertise in:
  • Orphan drug designations
  • Marketing authorisation applications
  • Post-approval safety surveillance
  • Named patient use
Highly qualified, highly focused marketing and sales teams

The people in our marketing and sales teams have a personal commitment to improving the lives of people who have a rare disease. We recognise that only through working collaboratively with all stakeholders are we able to tackle the challenges in the orphan drug and rare disease field. These challenges include disease awareness, education and training, and the development of consensus around diagnostic and clinical care guidelines.

 

Our Rare Diseases Orphan Drug Specialists are highly trained experts working closely with all stakeholders to understand their needs and develop solutions for improving patient management, from diagnosis to treatment, and to help ensure patient access to our products.

Market access and focused patient access to treatment

We focus on:

  • Providing early patient access to our treatments through local regulations
  • Navigating the various requirements of Health Technology Appraisal (HTA) bodies across countries in the orphan drug space
  • Generating convincing evidence for HTA bodies and payers in insufficiently researched disease areas
  • Working closely with the rare disease community to help generate access to our treatments worldwide
Tailored, patient-centric development and clinical trial methodology

Rare diseases and orphan drugs undergo the same review processes as other pharmaceuticals and must meet the same high standards of quality, safety and efficacy. The small numbers of patients affected by a rare disease and the variability of any inherited trait (the so-called high phenotypic heterogeneity) means that randomised clinical trials are not always feasible for a rare diseases or orphan drug. Also, the use of placebo-controlled trials may be unethical and for comparisons standardised treatments are often not available.

Recordati’s production sites are equipped with state-of-the-art installations and their research laboratories are fitted with the latest equipment.

 

All plants operate in full compliance with environmental protection regulations and in compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP).. See all here: https://recordati.com/industrial-operations/
