BioCryst Pharmaceuticals announced the appointment of Dr. Sandeep M. Menon as Chief Research and Development Officer. Dr. Menon brings extensive experience from leadership roles at Alnylam Pharmaceuticals and Pfizer, where he oversaw clinical development of multiple therapies including AMVUTTRA and PAXLOVID. The appointment comes as BioCryst advances its navenibart program toward potential FDA approval and builds on the commercial success of ORLADEYO and the recent acquisition of Astria Therapeutics.

BioCryst Pharmaceuticals announced that its compensation committee granted restricted stock units (RSUs) covering 65,850 shares of common stock to six newly-hired employees as inducement grants. The RSUs vest in four equal annual installments beginning one year from the grant date of March 2, 2026, subject to continued employment.

BioCryst Pharmaceuticals achieved full-year profitability for the first time in company history in 2025, with ORLADEYO net revenue reaching $601.8 million (+38% y-o-y). The company received FDA approval for ORLADEYO oral pellets for children ages 2-11 and completed the acquisition of Astria Therapeutics to expand its HAE portfolio with navenibart. BioCryst maintained 2026 ORLADEYO revenue guidance of $625-645 million and reported record operating profit despite selling its European ORLADEYO business.

BioCryst Pharmaceuticals announced it will present nine abstracts on its hereditary angioedema (HAE) portfolio at the 2026 AAAAI Annual Meeting in Philadelphia. The presentations include six abstracts on ORLADEYO (berotralstat), an oral prophylactic therapy for HAE patients aged 2 and older, and three on navenibart, an investigational monoclonal antibody plasma kallikrein inhibitor. A late-breaking presentation will highlight positive interim results from the ALPHA-SOLAR trial showing sustained HAE attack suppression with navenibart administered every 3 or 6 months.

BioCryst Pharmaceuticals completed its $700 million acquisition of Astria Therapeutics, adding navenibart, a late-stage plasma kallikrein inhibitor in Phase 3 development for hereditary angioedema (HAE). The acquisition strengthens BioCryst's HAE portfolio alongside its leading oral therapy ORLADEYO, with navenibart potentially offering every-three and every-six month dosing options. BioCryst financed the deal with cash on hand and $396.6 million from a Blackstone financing facility, plus 37.3 million shares issued to Astria shareholders.
