Orphan drugs have historically faced a number of barriers, such as limited research and development (R&D) investment due to an expected lack of profitability as well as challenges in clinical trial design and recruitment. Before 1983, only 38 orphan drugs had received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.
