This statistic displays a projection of the top 10 global orphan drugs based on revenues in 2024. For that year, it is projected that Roche's and AbbVie's Venclexta will generate some 3.2 billion U.S. dollars in revenue. Orphan drugs are used to target rare diseases or disorders, which in the United States is defined as less than 200,000 patients. The development of orphan drugs are currently incentivized in the United States through the Orphan Drug Act of 1983.

* Products that have orphan and non-orphan drug
designations and are expected to generate less than 50% of their sales in 2024 from
their orphan-designated indication/s, are excluded from this statistic. This has led to the exclusion
of therapies such as Avastin, Opdivo, Enbrel, Herceptin, Humira and Remicade.
