Rare Diseases
350 million people live with a rare disease - the vast majority of them are children. Today, only 200 of the 7,000 rare diseases have available treatments for the impacted individuals.
We have a proud history of transforming the lives of those with rare diseases for example, treatments for people with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, haemophilia A or growth hormone deficiency.
We are strongly committed to building on this legacy, bringing the full capabilities and know-how of our scientists together to bring new treatments and diagnostic tests for rare diseases to the people living with fatal or life-limiting rare diseases to lead the most fulfilling lives possible.
Partnering opportunities we are looking for:
- Monogenetic rare diseases
Example partnerships
Sarepta therapeutics - licensing agreement to launch and commercialize SRP-9001, Sarepta’s investigational micro-dystrophin gene therapy for DMD outside the US
PTC and SMA foundation – collaboration to explore oral therapies for SMA
