KalVista Pharmaceuticals Presents New Data at 2023 Meeting of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology
– Sebetralstat pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data support globalization of the KONFIDENT phase 3 clinical trial and use in short-term prophylaxis –
– Real-world patient data show significant burden from HAE still remains on patients receiving modern long-term prophylaxis and challenges associated with treatment decisions –
The following presentations occurred at EAACI 2023:
-

Patients delay treating hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks with currently available, injectable, on-demand therapies: associated with on-demand treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks: Anna Valerieva, Medical University of
Sofia ,Sofia, Bulgaria (Poster Presentation, also selected for the EAACI Junior Member Poster Session)
The first presentation highlighted consistencies in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics for sebetralstat across healthy Japanese, Chinese and White adult populations, supporting the continued global expansion of the ongoing KONFIDENT phase 3 trial assessing the efficacy and safety of sebetralstat for on-demand use in HAE attacks, while the second presentation outlines the rationale for sebetralstat as a potential treatment to prevent HAE attacks that may be triggered by invasive medical or dental procedures. KalVista is currently assessing sebetralstat as an oral, short-term prophylaxis in KONFIDENT-S, the two-year open-label extension study for the KONFIDENT phase 3 trial.
The remaining three presentations showed findings derived from a real-world patient survey of the HAE attack journey, which has not been well-described from a patient perspective until now. The first of these describes the persisting burden of HAE on patients in their attempt to live normally. Among the findings were that half of people with HAE on prophylaxis do not treat all of their HAE attacks with on-demand treatment and do not carry their on-demand treatment with them as advised by HAE treatment guidelines. The second and third presentations highlighted the challenges to patients making decisions on whether to treat attacks, and the reasons why they routinely delay treatment using current injectable therapies.
“The complexity of decision-making by patients associated with on-demand treatment of HAE attacks is under-appreciated, and greatly influences how they address those attacks with currently available, injectable, on-demand treatments,” said Andrew Crockett, Chief Executive Officer of KalVista. “We also see that even in the context of modern prophylaxis, there remains a significant persisting burden for people living with HAE. These findings highlight gaps in the existing HAE treatments and potentially position sebetralstat to address these unmet needs in this therapeutic landscape.”
