Rare diseases Chiesi Farmaceutici works on
Each disease page lists every open trial, not only Chiesi Farmaceutici's, plus approved treatments.
Acromegaly is a rare hormonal disorder caused by excessive growth hormone production, typically from a pituitary adenoma, resulting in abnormal growth of hands, feet, and facial features.
How common: About 50 to 70 people per million, according to NORD, with 3 to 11 new cases per million people each year
Acute hepatic porphyria (AHP) is a group of 4 rare inherited disorders of heme production in the liver: acute intermittent porphyria, hereditary coproporphyria, variegate porphyria and ALAD...
How common: Symptomatic acute intermittent porphyria, the most common type, affects about 5 to 6 people per million in Europe (NORD cites 5.9 per million; a European prospective study found 5.4 per million), roughly 1 in 170,000 to 1 in 185,000 people, and the rate is thought to be similar in the United States
Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disorder affecting the lungs and liver, caused by insufficient production of the protective protein alpha-1 antitrypsin.
How common: 1 in 1,500 to 3,500 people of European ancestry; about 100,000 people in the U.S
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder affecting the CFTR protein, which normally regulates chloride transport.
How common: Nearly 40,000 children and adults in the U.S.; 1 in 2,500 to 3,500 births among Caucasians
Epidermolysis bullosa is a group of rare genetic blistering disorders caused by mutations affecting proteins anchoring the epidermis to the dermis.
How common: 1 in 50,000 births; approximately 25,000-30,000 Americans affected
Fabry disease is a rare inherited lysosomal storage disorder where a missing enzyme causes fatty substances called globotriaosylceramide to accumulate in cells throughout the body.
How common: 1 in 40,000 to 60,000 males; higher in females when accounting for carrier status
Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome
Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome is a rare inherited metabolic disorder where the body cannot break down certain fats (triglycerides) normally, causing dangerously high blood fat levels.
How common: 1 to 2 per 1,000,000 people globally
Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia is a severe genetic disorder causing extremely high cholesterol levels from birth, leading to early heart disease and cholesterol deposits in tendons and...
