This designation is a significant milestone in the development of XORLOTM, which may slow progression of kidney damage associated with ADPKD. While not an approval for patient use yet, it positions XORTX favorably for marketing approval.
The Orphan Drug Act provides benefits like seven years of exclusive marketing rights, 25% tax credits on clinical testing costs, and regulatory assistance, all essential for the drug's development. A planned FDA meeting on May 1, 2023, will further discuss phase 3 clinical trials. XORTX has demonstrated positive results in preclinical animal models, showing potential effectiveness in treating ADPKD.
