Our Focus
We believe that each person with a rare disease has the right to the best treatment, and we are dedicated to providing this across a range of therapeutic areas.
Recordati provides medicines across a range of therapeutic areas.
Endocrinology
Your endocrine system is comprised of a network of glands in your body that produces and secrete hormones. Hormones are chemical messengers that carry information and instructions from one part of the body to another, that control or regulate many bodily functions, including growth and development, metabolism, reproduction, and mood, among others. Many diseases may impact how the varied endocrines glands work in the body, resulting in disordered hormone production and secretion which may underlie burdensome, and in some cases, life-threatening syndromes and conditions if left untreated.
Some of these diseases are rare and only affect a few people globally. These conditions are often difficult to diagnose due to lack of awareness of varied signs and symptoms, which can result in delayed diagnosis and/or undertreatment. Recordati Rare Disease is focused on targeted endocrine conditions associated with high unmet need and burden and is committed to providing better treatment options and solutions for patients, with a particular focus on improving the lives of those suffering from pituitary and adrenal gland dysfunction(s) or related conditions, which can impact growth and metabolism imbalances.
Oncology-Hematology
The human body is made up of trillions of cells. When these cells become old or damaged, they die, and need be replaced with new ones. Normally, human cells grow and multiple through cell division to create these new cells as they are needed. This cell division and cell growth is self-regulated and self-limited in normal conditions. Sometimes, however, this process doesn’t happen as it should – and abnormal or damaged cells (so called mutated cancer cells) can grow where they shouldn’t, sometimes forming harmful cancerous tumours. Cancerous tumours can start anywhere and can spread to other parts of the body, these are called malignant tumours. Tumours can also be benign, meaning they grow but they don’t spread through the body and tend not to create problems. A solid tumor is a mass of solid cancer cells that grows in organ systems and can appear anywhere in the body, like breast cancer. Liquid tumours are cancers that develop in the blood, bone marrow, or lymph nodes, and include leukemia, lymphoma (e.g. cutaneous T-Cell lymphoma) and myeloma. The immune system plays a critical role on potential tumours development and on the development of other severe haematological conditions (e.g Hemolytic anemia).
Recordati Rare Diseases focuses on some of the rarest cancers and on some rare haematological and immunological conditions, in both adult and paediatric indications, where very few treatment options exist.
Metabolic & other
Metabolic diseases can be caused by several genetic defects, causing abnormal accumulation of metabolites and/or defect in others. These inborn errors of metabolism affect neonates, children and adults. Since it was founded, Recordati Rare Diseases has been focussing on rare metabolic conditions, many of which can be difficult to diagnose and can be life-threatening.
