CBI’s Orphan Drug Innovation Summit 2013

Conference - Philadelphia, PA, United States

CBI is proud to be a partner of the 5th US Rare Disease Day and we are looking to make a difference at our Orphan Drug Innovation Summit this year. In honor of Rare Disease Day, we will be donating a small portion of our proceeds from this year's Summit to benefit a patient organization helping to find a cure for a rare disease.

Over 20 million people in the US are currently afflicted by rare disease. However, since the inception of the Orphan Drug Act in 1983, over 350 drugs have received approval by the FDA to combat these ailments- a significant increase from the 10 passed in the decade before. While this number is impressive, pharmaceutical companies still have a lot of ground to cover. So what is the next step in orphan drug development?

Join us at this interactive summit to:

Anticipate emerging regulatory policies to successfully achieve global market access

Maximize collaboration between pharmaceutical companies, patients, government, and venture capitalists

Explore pricing and reimbursement issues

Capitalize on personalized medicine
