I too find ERTs to be one of the most lucrative therapeutic areas; they typically address rare diseases and can have an 'Orphan Drug status'. They have: a high rate of success in the clinic due to a well-understood pathology, straightforward path of intervention, small studies, shorter time to market, small patient market that doesn't require large salesmen force and premium pricing.

We should probably define the acronym ERT because it’s use not exactly widespread. ERT = Enzyme Replacement Therapy.
