The CDC’s purchase of RAPIVAB will supply the Strategic National Stockpile, the nation’s largest supply of potentially life-saving pharmaceuticals and medical supplies for use in a public health emergency.
BioCryst CEO Jon Stonehouse said: “We appreciate the CDC acknowledging the value of RAPIVAB to patients and our national security.
“Peramivir continues to be a source of non-dilutive capital for BioCryst and we will use these additional resources to support advancement of our exciting pipeline,” Stonehouse added.
