BioCryst to Present New HAE Real-World Evidence at ISPOR 2026

AI Summary

BioCryst Pharmaceuticals announced it will present new real-world evidence at the 2026 International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) conference. The studies highlight the significant healthcare and quality-of-life burden associated with hereditary angioedema (HAE) in pediatric patients and their caregivers, demonstrating persistent unmet needs. Findings indicate children with HAE experience greater healthcare resource utilization, including outpatient visit rates more than three times higher than controls, and caregivers spend over 20 hours weekly providing care, with greater impacts on their quality of life during frequent HAE attacks. This research reinforces the importance of optimized disease management.
