Orphan status is granted by the FDA to promote the development of products that demonstrate promise for the treatment of rare diseases affecting fewer than 200,000 Americans annually. Orphan drug designation entitles NPS to a seven-year period of marketing exclusivity in the United States for PREOS, if it is approved by the FDA for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism, and enables the company to apply for research funding, tax credits for certain research expenses, and a waiver from the FDA's application user fee.
