KalVista Pharmaceuticals Presents New Data at the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology Congress 2025 on the Efficacy of Sebetralstat for the On-demand Treatment of HAE Attacks Among Patients Receiving Long-Term Prophylaxis
鈥揂G真人官方-world data highlight significant challenges with LTP adherence, and ongoing reliance on on-demand medications鈥�
鈥揑n KONFIDENT-S, oral sebetralstat delivered rapid, consistent relief for breakthrough attacks, regardless of long-term prophylaxis mechanism of action鈥�
Sebetralstat for Treatment of HAE Attacks in Patients Receiving Berotralstat, Lanadelumab, or C1 Inhibitor for Long-term Prophylaxis: Interim Analysis from KONFIDENT-S was presented by Marc A. Riedl, MD, Professor of Medicine and Clinical Director of the US Hereditary Angioedema Association Center at the University of
- The KONFIDENT-S interim analysis, involving 35 participants receiving berotralstat, lanadelumab, or C1 inhibitor (C1-INH), treated 382 attacks with sebetralstat
- Median time to treatment was 6 minutes overall, ranging from 1 minute (C1-INH) to 20 minutes (berotralstat)
- One-third of attacks were still mild at time of sebetralstat use
- Median time to beginning of symptom relief was 1.3 hours
"Even with advancements in HAE long-term prophylactic treatments, attacks still occur, highlighting the critical need for easily administered, fast-acting, effective on-demand options," said Dr. Riedl. "These data from KONFIDENT-S show the promise of sebetralstat as an effective oral on-demand option that can complement all major long-term prophylaxis treatments, including those acting through plasma kallikrein inhibition, like lanadelumab and berotralstat.鈥�
Adherence to Long-Term Prophylaxis for Hereditary Angioedema and the Impact on On-demand Treatment Claims in the US was presented by Daniel Soteres, MD, MPH, Asthma and Allergy Associates and Research
-
Less than half (
44% ) of HAE patients using LTP were adherent based on refill data over 12 months - No reduction in OD claims was observed in non-adherent patients (18 pre- and post-LTP; p=0.769)
-
Over 12 months, greater than
20% discontinued their LTP, while17% switched LTP
"The real-world data suggest that despite the effectiveness of long-term prophylactic therapies in clinical trials, maintaining adherence may be a significant hurdle for many HAE patients," said Dr. Soteres. "Refill gaps correlated with a greater number of on-demand treatment claims, indicating that patients may be experiencing more frequent attacks than expected. This underscores the importance of actively discussing LTP adherence with patients and having a reliable, efficacious on-demand treatment to manage breakthrough attacks.鈥�
鈥淭hese data reinforce what we hear from patients and clinicians on an ongoing basis; long-term prophylaxis plays an essential role in HAE management, but it鈥檚 not the full story,鈥� said Paul Audhya, M.D., MBA, Chief Medical Officer of KalVista. 鈥淎ttacks still occur, and adherence remains a real-world challenge. Sebetralstat is designed to meet this need: a rapid, reliable oral treatment that empowers patients to act the moment symptoms begin, regardless of their background therapy.鈥�

About Sebetralstat
Sebetralstat is an investigational, novel oral plasma kallikrein inhibitor for the treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE). We have filed multiple regulatory applications seeking approval of sebetralstat as the first oral, on-demand treatment for HAE in individuals aged 12 and older, with ongoing studies exploring its use in children aged 2 to 11. If approved, sebetralstat has the potential to become the foundational therapy for HAE management worldwide.
About Hereditary Angioedema
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disease resulting in deficiency or dysfunction in the C1 esterase inhibitor (C1INH) protein and subsequent uncontrolled activation of the kallikrein-kinin system. People living with HAE experience painful and debilitating attacks of tissue swelling in various locations of the body that can be life-threatening depending on the area affected. All currently approved on-demand treatment options require either intravenous or subcutaneous administration.
