| Abstract: | The Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) is responsible for evaluating applications for orphan designation (OMPDs) and for deciding the orphan status at the time of marketing authorization of medicines in the European Union (EU). In this review, we provide transparency regarding assessment criteria and an in-depth review of nonclinical models and data that have been used to support OMPDs. Additionally, we present a literature-based analysis of existing nonclinical models and discuss key features of nonclinical studies, which are considered crucial for the support of future OMPDs. This could not only inform future drug development in rare infectious conditions, but also indicate areas where nonclinical models are indispensable or can be made more efficient. |
