–New data show effectiveness of sebetralstat in reducing anxiety during attacks; supports need for oral on-demand option to treat attacks earlier and more often–

–Patient perspectives spotlight the prevalence of anxiety when faced with administering injectable on-demand therapies–

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.&SALISBURY, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 4, 2024--KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Inc.(NASDAQ: KALV), today announced that it presented data showing the effectiveness of sebetralstat in reducing anxiety among people experiencing hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks at theHAEi Global Angioedema Forum(GAF) taking place inCopenhagen, Denmark,October 4 - 5, 2024. These data were generated in the KONFIDENT phase 3 clinical trial, for which the Company disclosed top line results inFebruary 2024. Sebetralstat is a novel, investigational oral plasma kallikrein inhibitor for the on-demand treatment of HAE attacks in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older.

KONFIDENT was the first randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of an on-demand treatment on anxiety associated with HAE attacks. This prespecified exploratoryanalysis was presented by Dr.William R. Lumry,AARA Research Center,Dallas, TX, USA and investigated attack-associated anxiety (in the absence of injectable therapy) in the phase 3 KONFIDENT trial and the impact of sebetralstat on anxiety, compared with placebo. Participants self-reported anxiety using a Modified Generalized Anxiety Numeric Rating Scale. Overall, anxiety was reduced among patients treated with sebetralstat 300mg (P=0.004 andP=0.022, respectively) and 600mg (P=0.0008 andP=0.0012) versus placebo. For participants with moderate-to-extreme anxiety, change from baseline at 4 hours was −2.8 (−3.6, −1.9) for each sebetralstat group and −1.3 (−2.2, −0.4) for placebo and at 12 hours was −3.5 (−4.3, −2.6) with sebetralstat 300mg, −4.3 (−5.2, −3.5) with 600mg, and −1.7 (−2.6, −0.8) with placebo. Notably, anxiety reduction was correlated with earlier time to beginning of symptom relief.

“The data presented at theGlobal Angioedema Forumhighlights that people living with HAE often experience substantial anxiety when they have attacks, which reduces quality of life. In KONFIDENT, oral sebetralstat significantly reduced anxiety during attacks compared with placebo, especially among participants with moderate-to-extreme anxiety,” saidWilliam Lumry, M.D.,Allergy and Asthma Research Associates,Dallas, Texas,United States. “If approved, sebetralstat has the potential to become an important option for people living with HAE who experience attack-related anxiety, enabling them to treat early and recover from their attacks sooner.”

Additional poster presentations at theHAEi Global Angioedema Forum2024:

  • Anxiety Associated with Parenteral On-Demand Treatment for Hereditary Angioedema Attacks:Riccardo Senter,Azienda Ospedaliera, Università degli Studi diPadova,Padova, Italy
    • A substantial proportion of survey respondents experienced moderate to extreme anxiety due to anticipated use of on-demand treatment, particularly adolescents and those previously diagnosed with anxiety.
    • Reasons for anxiety were most commonly related to treatment effectiveness, administration burden/side effects, and cost/access.
    • Effective alternatives to current parenteral on-demand treatments are needed to address treatment-related anxiety associated with HAE attacks.
  • The Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) Attack Journey: A Conceptual Model of Patient Anxiety and On-Demand TreatmentBurden Duringan HAE Attack:Douglas Jones,Metrodora Institute,Salt Lake City, Utah
    • The survey highlighted that people living with HAE experience anxiety when anticipating parenteral on-demand treatment.
    • People with HAE often delay administering on-demand treatment with longer treatment delays reported by those feeling moderately to extremely anxious.
    • Participants expressed that anxiety decreased once they began to recover from their attacks.
  • Impact of Delayed Treatment of Hereditary Angioedema Attacks on Quality of Life and Ability to Work:Patrick Yong,Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, Frimley,United Kingdom
    • Nearly all participants waited an hour or longer to treat their attacks and reported quality of life and work productivity were worse.
    • Findings highlight the need for more education on treating at the earliest recognition of an attack and addressing barriers that contribute to treatment delays.
  • Impact of Hereditary Angioedema Attacks on Quality of Life and Ability to Work AmongUKPatients Receiving Long-term Prophylaxis or On-demand Treatment Only:Patrick Yong,Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, Frimley,United Kingdom
    • More than half of the total respondents were receiving long-term prophylaxis at the time of their most treated attack.
    • 87% of respondents considered their attacks moderately severe to very severe.
    • Those receiving parental on-demand treatment only and those receiving parental on-demand treatment plus LTP experienced substantial burden during their last treated HAE attack, in terms of physical, mental, and social QoL, as well as work productivity.
  • Phase 3 KONFIDENT Trial of Oral Sebetralstat for Treatment of Hereditary Angioedema Attacks: Analysis of the European and US Patient Subgroups:Andrea Zanichelli, Operative Unit of Medicine, Angioedema Center, IRCCS Policlinico San Donato, San Donato Milanese,Milan, Italy;Department of Biomedical Sciences for Health,University of Milan,Milan, Italy(Poster presentation)
    • In the KONFIDENT phase 3 clinical trial, the positive efficacy and safety of sebetralstat as an on-demand treatment for HAE was consistent between the European andU.S.subgroups.
  • Patient-Reported Benefits of Early On-demand Treatment of HAE Attacks:Mar Guilarte,Allergy Department, Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron,Barcelona, Spain
    • People living with HAE reported several positive benefits when treating attacks early with on-demand treatment: more likely than those who delayed treatment to carry their on-demand treatment with them, treat more attacks, feel less anxious when anticipating on-demand treatment, and recover more quickly from HAE attacks.
  • Treatment of HAE Attacks with Anticipated Future Oral On-demand Therapies as Reported by Patients:Anna ValerievaDepartment of Allergology,Medical UniversityofSofia,Sofia, Bulgaria
    • According to a survey of more than 100 participants, people living with HAE who are using parenteral on-demand treatment may treat more of their attacks and treat earlier with the availability of an oral on-demand treatment option.
    • In addition, respondents noted they are less likely to experience anxiety when anticipating administration of an oral on-demand treatment.
  • Global Frequency and Diagnosis of Hereditary Angioedema with Normal C1INH: AReal World ACARE Survey:Markus Magerl,Angioedema Center of Referenceand Excellence (ACARE),Institute of Allergology, Charité – UniversitätsmedizinBerlin, corporate member of Freie UniversitätBerlinand Humboldt-Universität zuBerlin,Berlin, Germany;Fraunhofer Institute for Translational Medicine and Pharmacology ITMP, Immunology and Allergology,Berlin, Germany
    • Due to varying clinical approaches, there are substantial delays in diagnosis of HAE for people with normal C1INH, which currently has no standardized diagnostic pathway.
    • There is a need for evolved and consistent approaches to improve accurate diagnosis and clinical management of this patient population.
