FDA grants orphan drug status to Vicore

Release Date: 21-Feb-2017



US Food and Drug Administration has awarded Vicore Pharmaceuticals with orphan Drug designation for the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). FDA's Orphan Drug Designation program provides certain incentives for companies developing therapeutics to treat rare diseases or conditions, defined as those affecting less than 200,000 individuals in the U.S. A drug candidate and its sponsor must meet several key criteria in order to qualify for, and obtain, orphan drug status. Once a drug has received orphan drug designation, the developer qualifies for a range of benefits, including federal grants, tax credits, reduction in certain regulatory fees, and the potential for seven years of market exclusivity for the drug following FDA marketing approval.
