    via Orphazyme’s bet that, despite missing both primary endpoints on its pivotal study, they would find welcoming ears at the FDA has paid off, for now.

    The Danish biotech announced today that the FDA has accepted the application for their experimental drug arimoclomol in the rare neurodegenerative condition Niemann-Pick disease Type C and given it priority review.

    Orphazyme in the US is poorly organized and being run by mid-level staff. It is placing a great deal of emphasis on the use of registries to collect data, but has no one on staff that actually worked with registries or understands them.
