Pharming Group announces presentations at 2025 ACAAI Annual Scientific Meeting showcasing new data across rare disease portfolio
Leiden, the Netherlands, October 20, 2025: Pharming Group N.V. (“Pharming” or “the Company”) (Euronext Amsterdam: PHARM / Nasdaq: PHAR) today announced that 12 abstracts have been accepted for presentation at the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting taking place in Orlando, Florida on November 6-10.
Five posters will present positive new clinical, economic, and comparative data for RUCONEST® (recombinant C1 esterase inhibitor) and its role in on-demand hereditary angioedema (HAE) treatment. Seven posters will highlight new evidence on the real-world effectiveness of Joenja® (leniolisib), including additional results from the Phase III pediatric trial, as well as advancing understanding of the pediatric and caregiver burden in activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta (PI3Kδ) syndrome (APDS).
Anurag Relan, Chief Medical Officer of Pharming, commented:
“We are proud that our scientific contributions in both hereditary angioedema (HAE) and activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta (PI3Kδ) syndrome (APDS) have been recognized with a significant number of abstract acceptances at this year’s ACAAI. The work underscores the rigor of our research and our commitment to advancing patient care. We look forward to the new data being presented to the medical community during the meeting in November.”

About Hereditary Angioedema (HAE)
Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disorder.1 The condition is caused by a deficiency of the C1 esterase inhibitor protein, which is normally present in blood and helps control inflammation (swelling) and parts of the immune system. Because defective C1-Inhibitor does not adequately perform its regulatory function, a biochemical imbalance can occur and produce unwanted peptides that induce the capillaries to release fluids into surrounding tissue, thereby causing swelling or edema.2
HAE is characterized by spontaneous and recurrent episodes of swelling (edema attacks) of the skin in different parts of the body, as well as in the airways and internal organs. Edema of the skin usually affects the extremities, the face, and the genitals. Almost all HAE patients suffer from bouts of severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea caused by swelling of the intestinal wall.3
Edema of the throat, nose or tongue is particularly dangerous and potentially life-threatening and can lead to obstruction of the airway passages.4 Although there is currently no known cure for HAE, it is possible to treat the symptoms associated with angioedema attacks.5 HAE affects about 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 50,000 people worldwide.6 HAE is often misdiagnosed as the symptoms are similar to many other common conditions such as allergies or appendicitis resulting in diagnostic delay.7
About RUCONEST®
RUCONEST® is a recombinant C1 esterase inhibitor (rhC1INH) protein replacement therapy indicated for the treatment of acute attacks in adult and adolescent patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE). RUCONEST® is approved in the U.S., Europe and the UK and is the only recombinant C1 esterase inhibitor worldwide.
RUCONEST® is delivered intravenously and is immediately and completely bioavailable enabling rapid intervention at the onset of an HAE attack. At the recommended dose of 50 U/kg, RUCONEST® has been shown to normalize C1INH activity levels, which are clinically relevant in the treatment of HAE. By irreversibly binding to and deactivating key mediators such as coagulation factor FXII and kallikrein, RUCONEST® halts the production of bradykinin and other inflammatory peptides, thereby stopping the progression of the attack. RUCONEST® is not indicated for the treatment of laryngeal attacks, as effectiveness in this subset of patients was not established in clinical studies. 8

About Activated Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase δ Syndrome (APDS)
APDS is a rare primary immunodeficiency that was first characterized in 2013. APDS is caused by variants in either one of two identified genes known as PIK3CD or PIK3R1, which are vital to the development and function of immune cells in the body. Variants of these genes lead to hyperactivity of the PI3Kδ (phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta) pathway, which causes immune cells to fail to mature and function properly, leading to immunodeficiency and dysregulation9,10,11 APDS is characterized by a variety of symptoms, including severe, recurrent sinopulmonary infections, lymphoproliferation, autoimmunity, and enteropathy.12,13 Because these symptoms can be associated with a variety of conditions, including other primary immunodeficiencies, it has been reported that people with APDS are frequently misdiagnosed and suffer a median 7-year diagnostic delay.14 As APDS is a progressive disease, this delay may lead to an accumulation of damage over time, including permanent lung damage and lymphoma.12-15 A definitive diagnosis can be made through genetic testing. APDS affects approximately 1 to 2 people per million worldwide.
About leniolisib
Leniolisib is an oral small molecule phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta (PI3Kẟ) inhibitor approved in the U.S., U.K., Australia and Israel as the first and only targeted treatment of activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta (PI3Kδ) syndrome (APDS) in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older. Leniolisib inhibits the production of phosphatidylinositol-3-4-5-trisphosphate, which serves as an important cellular messenger and regulates a multitude of cell functions such as proliferation, differentiation, cytokine production, cell survival, angiogenesis, and metabolism. Results from a randomized, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical trial demonstrated statistically significant improvement in the coprimary endpoints, reflecting a favorable impact on the immune dysregulation and deficiency seen in these patients, and interim open label extension data has supported the safety and tolerability of long-term leniolisib administration.16,17 Leniolisib is currently under regulatory review in the European Economic Area, Japan, Canada and several other countries for APDS. Leniolisib is also being evaluated in two Phase III clinical trials in children with APDS and in two Phase II clinical trials in primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) with immune dysregulation. The safety and efficacy of leniolisib has not been established for PIDs with immune dysregulation beyond APDS.
