KalVista Pharmaceuticals presents data on unmet needs in HAE from a Patient Perspective at the 2024 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Annual Meeting
KalVista Pharmaceuticals today announced that it presented real-world data from US patient surveys that assessed the experience of HAE patients using injectable on-demand treatments at the 2024 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) Annual Meeting that took place in Washington, DC.
The following presentations occurred at AAAAI 2024:
Characteristics of Hereditary Angioedema Attacks Among Long-Term Prophylaxis Users: Bob Geng, Allergy and Immunology, University of California, San Diego, California, United States (Poster Presentation)
Delayed On-demand Treatment of Hereditary Angioedema Attacks: Patient Perceptions and Associated Barriers: Sandra Christiansen, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA, United States (Poster Presentation)
Anxiety Associated with On-Demand Treatment for Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) Attacks: James Wedner, Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, MO, United States (Poster Presentation)
Anxiety Associated with Refilling On-demand Therapy for HAE Attacks Contributes to Treatment Delay and Non-Treatment: Autumn Burnette, Division of Allergy and Immunology, Howard University Hospital, Washington, DC, United States (Poster Presentation)
Characterizing the Negative Impact of Delayed On-Demand Treatment of HAE Attacks: Princess Ogbogu, Division of Pediatric Allergy, Immunology, and Rheumatology, University Hospitals Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital, Cleveland, Ohio, United States (Poster Presentation)
The Impact of On-demand Treatment on Quality of Life of People with HAE: Paula Busse, Department of Medicine, Division of Clinical Immunology, Mount Sinai, New York, United States (Poster Presentation)
Characterizing the Perspective of Patients With HAE on Prophylactic Treatment: Stephen Betschel, Division of Allergy and Immunology, Department of Medicine, St. Michael’s Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Poster Presentation)
Treatment Patterns of Patients Requiring Redosing of an On-demand Treatment After the Return of an HAE Attack: Constance Katelaris, Department of Medicine, Campbelltown Hospital and Western Sydney University, Sydney, NSW, Australia (Poster Presentation)
Andrew Crockett, Chief Executive Officer of KalVista, said: “The results of these surveys clearly conveyed the challenges faced by patients trying to manage their HAE attacks with injectable on-demand treatments. The resulting non-compliance with treatment guidelines may lead to poor clinical outcomes, even among patients receiving LTP. We believe the efficacy and safety data from our phase 3 trial for sebetralstat show a potential path forward to address these persisting unmet needs.”
