The company also announced new real-world evidence showing statistically significant and sustained HAE attack rate reductions after initiating ORLADEYO in patients with HAE, regardless of their C1-inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency status, and new findings from an HAE patient survey confirming patient preference for an oral LTP therapy.
“These results build on previous research that highlights how the real-world effectiveness and convenience of our oral, once-daily prophylactic therapy are differentiators for patients. The strong adherence, persistence and preference for ORLADEYO we report here provide further evidence that enables physicians to optimize individualized treatment recommendations for each of their patients. We continue to generate real-world evidence demonstrating that ORLADEYO is a powerful, potentially life-changing treatment for many people with HAE,” said Dr. Donald S. Fong, chief medical officer of BioCryst.
