In May 2022, Elamipretide received Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Office of Orphan Products Development for the treatment of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

This was equivalent to a total of fewer than 26,000 people, and is below the ceiling for orphan designation, which is 5 people in 10,000.
