"Patient safety is our highest priority"
Pharming’s unique, highly scalable reproducible production methodology is a GMP validated process for the production of high quality recombinant human proteins. The economical process is supported by clinical proven safety and efficacy data, which demonstrates lower immunogenicity compared with current cell-line or plasma fractionation-based methods.
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for Pompe and Fabry’s diseases are also being developed by Pharming, as well as additional programs not involving ERT.
Pharming has operations in the Netherlands, Germany, France and the US, with its headquarters in Leiden (NL), with 230 employees in total.
