Pharming Group N.V. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Leiden, the Netherlands, with a primary focus on developing and commercializing innovative protein replacement therapies for patients living with rare diseases. The company employs a proprietary transgenic technology platform designed to produce recombinant human proteins in the milk of transgenic animals, enabling scalable and cost-efficient manufacturing of complex therapeutic proteins.
The company’s lead product, RUCONEST (recombinant human C1 esterase inhibitor), is approved for the treatment of acute hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks in multiple markets, including the United States and Europe. RUCONEST represents the first recombinant C1 inhibitor therapy, offering an alternative to plasma-derived treatments and addressing key safety and supply concerns associated with conventional sources. Pharming continues to support RUCONEST through lifecycle management initiatives and expanded patient access programs.
Beyond its marketed product, Pharming’s research and development pipeline includes additional indications for C1 esterase inhibitor in prophylactic HAE treatment and novel programs targeting other rare and genetic disorders. Preclinical efforts leverage the same transgenic expression platform to explore therapies for conditions such as alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and metabolic disorders. Strategic collaborations and licensing agreements underpin the company’s approach to expanding its portfolio and reaching underserved patient populations.
Pharming Group serves patients and partners across Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia-Pacific through a combination of direct commercial operations and regional partnerships. The company is led by Chief Executive Officer Sijmen de Vries, whose experience in biotechnology and global product commercialization supports Pharming’s mission to deliver life-transforming therapies to individuals affected by rare diseases.
