To those asking, No, I am not surprised a Big Pharma has yet to step in. I have held onto the following theory for a long time. That doesn't mean it is set in stone but displays a load of common sense to me.

(from 16 months ago but a great read, imo, for those who haven't seen it)
"Big pharmaceutical companies enter the picture once the drug has passed the discovery stage and a significant part of development, too."

"While orphan drugs account for only a small fraction of overall pharmaceutical revenues, the estimated $40 billion in annual sales they generate is not an insignificant figure. For pharmaceutical companies facing patent expirations for many of their biggest selling drugs and thinning product pipelines, the outsized revenue and profits orphan drugs can offer are enticing."
