Why are orphan drugs so expensive? Comparing the costs of FDA-approved medicines

A new study published in Healthcare evaluates the factors associated with differences in treatment costs for orphan and non-orphan drugs in the United States.

Recently, there has been growing concern about the affordability of orphan drugs (ODs). In the US, orphan designation is associated with both higher overall prices and increased out-of-pocket expenditures. This study aims to shed light on the specific factors behind this cost difference, comparing orphan and non-orphan drugs approved by the FDA from 2017-2021.
