About Us
Orphan Therapeutics, LLC is a privately held, virtual drug development company. It was founded in mid 2003 by Peter Teuber, Ph.D. with the initial purpose to develop and seek FDA approval for its first product, LUCASSIN® (terlipressin), for the treatment of Hepatorenal Syndrome (HRS) type 1 in the US.


Peter Teuber, Ph.D. (President)
has more than 20 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry and a proven track record of developing successful specialty pharmaceuticals (Xeloda®, Angiomax®).

The business model of Orphan Therapeutics, LLC is to license niche products currently unavailable in the USA, but with proven efficacy for high medical need indications from primarily European based companies and develop those for FDA approval under Orphan Drug protection. To develop such products efficiently, it is essential to keep the internal infrastructure at a minimum by leveraging strategic partnerships with other experienced independent pharmaceutical executives and organizations (virtual company concept), including the out-licensing of marketing and sales efforts post-approval.
