KalVista Pharmaceuticals Presents Data at 13th C1-inhibitor Deficiency & Angioedema Workshop

– Phase 1 data provide rationale for sebetralstat as short-term prophylaxis for medical and dental procedures –

– Patient survey data demonstrate treatment burden associated with injectable on-demand treatments for HAE –

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. & SALISBURY, England–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$KALV–KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: KALV), a clinical stage pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of oral, small molecule protease inhibitors, announced today that it made two oral presentations and one poster presentation at the 13th C1-inhibitor Deficiency & Angioedema Workshop (C1 Workshop) in Budapest, Hungary.

The following presentations occurred at the 2023 C1 Workshop:

• Rationale for the Short-term Prophylaxis Regimen with Sebetralstat in KONFIDENT-S: Michael D. Smith, KalVista Pharmaceuticals Inc., Cambridge, MA, USA (oral presentation)
• HAE Patients Decision to Carry On-demand Treatment When Away from Home: Stephen Betschel, Division of Allergy and Immunology, Department of Medicine, St. Michael’s Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON Canada (oral presentation)
• Route of Administration Preferences of People with Hereditary Angioedema for On-demand Treatment: A US-based Qualitative Study: Laurence Bouillet, Internal Medicine, Grenoble Alpes University, National Reference Center for Angioedema, Grenoble, France (poster presentation)

In the first oral presentation, KalVista presented data providing the rationale for the sebetralstat regimen for short-term prophylaxis (STP) for medical and dental procedures in people living with hereditary angioedema (HAE) in the phase 3 KONFIDENT-S trial, which is an ongoing, up to 2-year, open-label extension of the phase 3 KONFIDENT trial.

The second oral presentation was based on real-world survey data collected from people with HAE and showed that only one-third of patients always carry on-demand attack treatment with them when away from home. Of note, those that did not carry treatment would routinely travel for several hours without it for a variety of reasons, including a preference to treat with injectables at home.

The poster presentation, based on qualitative interviews with adolescents and adults with HAE, demonstrated that both groups had a strong preference for oral medication for on-demand treatment of attacks over self-administered injectable treatments when efficacy and safety profiles were similar.

“The data we have gathered from a comprehensive survey focused on the experience of patients experiencing HAE attacks has been eye-opening and reveals the real-world impact injectable treatments have on the lives of people living with HAE,” said Andrew Crockett, Chief Executive Officer of KalVista. “Strong patient preference data for oral treatments over injectables reflects these challenges. We believe that sebetralstat may have the potential to improve patients’ current treatment experience. Given the challenges with access to and logistics surrounding the use of injectables for short-term prophylaxis prior to routine medical and dental procedures, the oral regimen being assessed in KONFIDENT-S may represent yet another opportunity to enhance the lives of people living with HAE.”
