On February 29, 2024, the world marked the seventeenth International Rare Disease Day, but for hundreds of American families, the day brought little solace. Their children suffer from a rare genetic disorder called type IVA Niemann-Pick disease (NPC IVA), and they are now facing a medical crisis as the only known treatment, a drug named Cyclodextrin, is set to be discontinued in the U.S. market in May of this year. According to the National Institute of Health, there are approximately 30 million people in the United States living with rare diseases, while globally, the number exceeds 300 million. NPC IVA is estimated to affect one in every 150,000 to 250,000 births, making it a particularly devastating condition for those affected. The disease is caused by a mutation in both copies of a gene called NPC1 or NPC2, which leads to an abnormal buildup of cholesterol in the body's cells, ultimately causing damage to the brain, liver, and spleen. Cyclodextrin is currently the only known treatment for NPC IVA, a therapy that must be administered intravenously and continued for life. For most families, the cost of this treatment is astronomical, often running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. The impending withdrawal of Cyclodextrin from the U.S. market has left families scrambling to find alternative treatments, or in the worst-case scenario, face the prospect of losing their children. "I'm desperate to save my child, but I have no idea where to turn," said Hangzhou resident Mr.
