Our Focus

We believe that each person with a rare disease has the right to innovative treatments, and we are dedicated to providing this across a range of therapeutic areas.

Recordati provides medicines across a range of therapeutic areas. Our core therapy areas include:

Endocrinology

Your endocrine system is comprised of a network of glands in your body that produce 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 endocrine 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 Diseases is focused on 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.

Oncology

The human body is made up of trillions of cells. When these cells become old or damaged, they die, and need to be replaced with new ones. Normally, human cells grow and multiply 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 tumors. Cancerous tumors can start anywhere and can spread to other parts of the body; these are called malignant tumors. Tumors can also be benign, meaning they grow but they don’t spread through the body and tend not to create problems. Recordati Rare Diseases focuses on some of the rarest cancers, in both adult and pediatric indications, where very few treatment options exist.

Metabolic Diseases

Metabolic diseases can be caused by several genetic defects, causing abnormal accumulation of metabolites and/or defects. These inborn errors of metabolism affect neonates, children and adults. Since it was founded, Recordati Rare Diseases has been focusing on rare metabolic conditions, many of which can be difficult to diagnose and can be life-threatening.

Hematology

The hematological system is a complex network of organs, tissues, and blood components that work in concert to support the body’s essential functions. Bone marrow, along with accessory organs like the spleen and liver, plays a key role in the production, regulation, and maintenance of blood cells. Blood is composed of plasma and cellular elements – erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and thrombocytes (platelets). Circulating throughout the body, blood is responsible for critical functions such as oxygen transport, nutrient delivery, waste removal, immune defense, and blood clotting. Given its central role in numerous physiological functions, disruptions in the hematological system can lead to a wide range of symptoms and complications. Recordati Rare Diseases is focused on rare hematological disorders and is committed to enhancing patient care through innovative treatment solutions for conditions with significant unmet medical needs and disease burden.
