Over the years, Congress has devoted extraordinary sums for research into major diseases that afflict millions of Americans. But, we've been less generous, and less successful, in mobilizing the research community to come up with therapies and cures for rare and neglected diseases. In the United States, rare diseases are defined as those that affect fewer than 200,000 people. According to the National Institutes of Health, there are nearly 7,000 rare diseases, affecting more than 25 million Americans. Yet, there are FDA-approved treatments for only as few as 200 of these diseases.

The office prints documents produced by and for the federal government, including Congress, the Supreme Court, the Executive Office of the President and other executive departments, and independent agencies. A hearing is a meeting of the Senate, House, joint or certain Government committee that is open to the public so that they can listen in on the opinions of the legislation. Hearings can also be held to explore certain topics or a current issue. It typically takes between two months up to two years to be published. This is one of those hearings.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Over the past few decades, a number of legislative actions have been taken to encourage the development of therapies to treat people affected by rare diseases and to encourage therapies for pediatric patients. During this same time period, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has invested substantial effort in support of these same goals. As described in this book, recent legislative actions have prompted new initiatives. Continuing the response to the laws' specific requirements and FDA's commitment under PDUFA, this book includes input from the public and FDA and discusses the many complex issues involved in medical product development for people with rare diseases. Following a brief overview of both legislative and FDA efforts over the years to foster development of therapies for these patients, the book summarizes the three days of the public meeting and presents FDA's strategic plan for accelerating the development of the urgently needed therapies for pediatric rare diseases.
