- The FDA defines a rare pediatric disease as a serious or life-threatening disease in which the disease manifestations primarily affect individuals aged from birth to 18 years of age.
- Pediatric diseases recognized as "rare", affect fewer than 200,000 people in the United States.
- We are delighted that MIV-711 has been granted RPDD by the FDA with the potential to become the first approved treatment option.
- To gain RPDD, there must be supportive data suggesting that the drug may be effective in the disease.
