EXHIBIT 99.1
Exhibit 99.1
BridgeBio Announces Agreement with U.S. Government to Improve Affordability and Access to Critical Medicines for Americans
- This
voluntary agreement expands access for Medicaid patients to
BridgeBio’s
currently marketed medicine
and lowers drug costs for Americans without jeopardizing innovation and sustainability in rare diseases
- BridgeBio will continue to offer Attruby via Medicare Part D without any future pricing mandates
- The agreement has no impact on ForgingBridges®, a copay assistance program that helps reduce out-of-pocket costs to as little as $0 per month for
qualifying patients
PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: BBIO) (“BridgeBio” or the “Company”), a commercial-stage, multi-product biopharmaceutical company focused on developing medicines for genetic conditions, today announced that it has entered into a voluntary
agreement with the U.S. government to expand access to its medicines and lower costs for American patients. Neil Kumar, Ph.D., Co-Founder and CEO of BridgeBio, joined President Donald J. Trump and members of his Administration at the White
House to discuss the new agreement, which improves access to treatments for rare genetic diseases without jeopardizing innovation or sustained investment.
Millions of people worldwide live with rare genetic conditions that have no approved treatment options because developing medicines for rare diseases has never been
commercially straightforward. Today’s agreement with the Administration is intended to ensure that BridgeBio will be able to continue bringing medicines to people living with rare genetic diseases. As part of the agreement, BridgeBio will expand
state Medicaid access to its currently marketed medicine via the GENEROUS Model.
This builds on the Company’s existing patient access work, including ForgingBridges, BridgeBio’s patient support program, which provides reimbursement navigation and
financial assistance to qualifying patients, potentially minimizing out-of-pocket costs to as little as $0 per month.
BridgeBio does not expect to be subject to future pricing mandates. The specific terms of the agreement remain confidential.
“As an American biotech, it’s a privilege to be working alongside the Administration to ensure the broadest possible access for Americans to the medicines that we make.
Thirty million Americans suffer from rare genetic disorders, and our intent is to reliably innovate new medicines and bring them to as many communities as possible,” said Dr. Kumar. “Within the field of ATTR-CM, we’ve already launched the
lowest-priced product with the best data at 30 months, and we continue to look forward to working with anyone who wants to help improve access to treatment for the patients who need it.”
BridgeBio’s model was built to make drug development and innovation economically viable for genetic conditions that affect small patient populations. The Company’s
approved medicine, Attruby, is available to people with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy, and the Company has three additional medicines under FDA review, each for a genetic condition with limited or no approved treatment options: BBP-418 for
limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I/R9, or LGMD2I/R9 (PDUFA date with Priority Review: November 27, 2026); encaleret for autosomal dominant hypocalcemia type 1, or ADH1 (PDUFA date with Priority Review: May 7, 2027); and infigratinib for
achondroplasia.
About Attruby (acoramidis)
INDICATION
Attruby is a transthyretin stabilizer indicated for the treatment of the cardiomyopathy of wild-type or variant transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR-CM) in adults to reduce cardiovascular death and cardiovascular-related hospitalization.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Adverse Reactions
Diarrhea (11.6% vs 7.6%) and upper abdominal pain (5.5% vs 1.4%) were reported inpatients treated with Attruby versus placebo, respectively. The majority of these adverse reactions were mild and resolved without drug discontinuation.
Discontinuation rates due to adverse events were similar between patients treated with Attruby versus placebo (9.3% and 8.5%, respectively).
About BridgeBio
BridgeBio exists to develop transformative medicines for genetic conditions. Millions of people worldwide living with genetic conditions lack treatment options, often
because drug development for small patient populations can be commercially challenging. We aim to bridge the gap between advancements in genetic science and meaningful medicines for underserved patient populations. Our decentralized, hub-and-spoke
model is designed for speed, precision, and scalability. Autonomous and empowered teams focus on individual conditions, while a central hub provides the clinical, regulatory, and commercial capabilities needed to bring innovation to market. For
