The Orphan Drug Act (ODA) defines a rare disease as a disease or condition that affects less than 200,000 people in the United States.  Within this range we see conditions like sickle cell disease with a prevalence of over 100,000, down to rare genetic diseases that may occur in a handful of patients. As approaches to clinical development are constrained by issues of enrollment and statistical powering, the categories defined by prevalence distribution (rare, ultra-rare and uber-rare) require differing approaches…
