At the Cantor Health conference Palvella outlined its focused strategy for rare skin diseases and vascular anomalies and confirmed submission of an NDA to the FDA for QTORIN (rapamycin) to treat microcystic lymphatic malformations (microLM).

The company estimates at least 30,000 diagnosed US microLM patients and aims for an annual treatment price range of $100,000–$200,000, relies on extensive patent protection through at least 2038, and is pursuing additional programs for cutaneous venous malformations and DSAP. » More on de.investing.com
