Item 8.01. Other Events
On June 23, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) notified BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) that it has extended the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) goal date for the Company’s new drug application (“NDA”) for the use of once-daily ORLADEYO® (berotralstat) oral granules in pediatric patients with hereditary angioedema (“HAE”) aged 2 to 11 years. The FDA determined that the Company’s submission of additional final reports and formulation data constituted a major amendment to the NDA, resulting in a standard three-month extension to the original goal date to provide time for a full review of the submission. The new PDUFA target action date is December 12, 2025.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements, including statements relating to ORLADEYO. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could affect the forward-looking statements contained herein include: the Company’s ability to successfully progress its development plans, including meeting expected timelines; ongoing and future preclinical and clinical development of product candidates may take longer than expected and may not have positive results; the outcome of preclinical testing and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial do not necessarily predict final results; and the FDA or other applicable regulatory agency may not approve ORLADEYO for use in pediatric patients with HAE aged 2 to 11 years within the timeframe expected, or at all, may ultimately determine that there are deficiencies in the development program or execution thereof, may require additional information or studies, may disagree with our safety and efficacy conclusions, may impose certain restrictions, warnings, or other requirements, may impose a clinical hold, or may withhold, delay, or withdraw market approval. Please refer to the documents the Company files periodically with the Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K, which identify important factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contained in the Company’s forward-looking statements.
