KalVista Pharmaceuticals presents real-world data at the 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology

KalVista Pharmaceuticals presented real-world data on anxiety associated with the use of injectable on-demand treatments for hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks and patient perspectives on why people living with HAE don’t often carry their on-demand treatment outside the home, at the 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI).

Andrew Crockett, Chief Executive Officer of KalVista: “We continue to learn from people living with HAE. It is our hope that if sebetralstat is approved for the on-demand treatment of HAE, it may be able to address significant unmet need and help transform the management of the disease.”

In addition to the data on persisting non-medication health resource utilization among patients receiving long-term prophylaxis, the Company presented data on the global prevalence of HAE-nC1-INH the approach to the presumptive diagnosis, and the highly varied treatment approaches that represent another significant area of unmet need in that population.
