Address the challenges of CNS orphan diseases and learn from real-life case studies with QCTR

LONDON - Feb. 20, 2014 - PRLog -- Visiongain’s new study predicts that the overall market for medicines to treat and manage unusual Central Nervous System (CNS) disorders will expand from 2014 to 2024. The strength of this pharma segment stems from incentives in orphan drug development, including regulatory filing and first-mover advantages and protection. Also, despite small patient numbers, pharma companies can expect steady demand for a drug after approvals and commercial launches. Strong prospects exist.
