The competition in the pharmaceutical industry is fierce, with companies constantly vying for market share. This is especially true in the area of rare disease treatments, where there are often only a few companies competing for patients. Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc is one such company, and it competes against Cassiopea SpA, Poxel SA, and Ampio Pharmaceuticals Inc, among others.

Summary

If you’re looking for a biotech stock that could be a big winner in the years ahead, Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical is worth considering. The company’s focus on rare diseases gives it a number of potential blockbuster drugs in its pipeline. What’s more, Ultragenyx is already a commercial-stage company, with two drugs on the market. The other drug, Mepsevii, is approved to treat two rare skin disorders. Ultragenyx also has several other drugs in late-stage clinical trials. Its most advanced drug candidate is burosumab, which is in phase 3 trials for the treatment of x-linked hypophosphatemia and osteogenesis imperfecta.

In addition, the company is preparing to file for regulatory approval of two other drug candidates — setrusumab and rhGUS — in the coming months. Investors should keep in mind that Ultragenyx is a relatively small company, with a market capitalization of just over $3 billion. That means it doesn’t take much good news to send the stock soaring. Conversely, any negative news could cause the stock to drop sharply. But if you’re willing to stomach the volatility, Ultragenyx could be a great stock to own for the long term.
