Products that have orphan and non-orphan drug
designations and are expected to generate less than 50% of their sales in 2024 from
their orphan-designated indication/s, are excluded from this statistic. This has led to the exclusion of therapies such as Avastin, Opdivo, Enbrel, Herceptin, Humira and Remicade.
