CAMBRIDGE, Mass.&SALISBURY, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 5, 2024--KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Inc.(NASDAQ: KALV), today released financial results for the second fiscal quarter endedOctober 31, 2024. The Company also provided an operational update, highlighted by theU.S. Food and Drug Administration(FDA) acceptance of a New Drug Application (NDA) for sebetralstat, a novel, investigational treatment for hereditary angioedema (HAE).

“KalVista is successfully executing on the key milestones we announced at the beginning of our fiscal year as we move towards multiple potential commercial launches of sebetralstat in 2025,” saidBen Palleiko, Chief Executive Officer ofKalVista. “With six marketing authorization applications filed to date and the first potential approval expected next June, we remain focused on achieving our goal of making sebetralstat available to people living with HAE globally. In support of that goal, during the quarter, we presented additional data from our clinical program at multiple conferences, demonstrating that patients used sebetralstat to treat attacks early and that early treatment with on-demand therapy resulted in meaningful clinical benefit. Finally, the additional capital we recently raised, including the non-dilutive synthetic royalty financing, will support our continued planning for the potential launch of sebetralstat in multiple markets.”

Second Fiscal Quarter and Recent Business Highlights:

Sebetralstat

  • InSeptember 2024,KalVistaannounced that the FDA accepted its NDA for sebetralstat, a novel, investigational oral plasma kallikrein inhibitor that has the potential to be the first and only oral on-demand treatment for HAE attacks in people aged 12 years and older. The FDA has set a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date ofJune 17, 2025.
  • Also in September,KalVistaannounced Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) submissions to regulatory authorities in theUnited Kingdom,Switzerland,AustraliaandSingaporevia theAccess Consortiumframework, designed to maximize regulatory collaboration across countries and support a timely review process. This follows theAugust European Medicines Agency(EMA) validation of the MAA for sebetralstat.
  • KalVistapresented new sebetralstat data at the 2024American College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology. Presentations included Phase 3 trial data that showed early treatment is correlated with shorter attack duration, as well as a rigorous comparison of Phase 3 results for oral sebetralstat and pivotal trial results of IV recombinant C1-inhibitor for on-demand treatment of HAE attacks that showed no differences in time to the beginning of symptom relief.
  • In addition,KalVistapresented new data at the 2024HAEi Global Angioedema Forumthat highlighted the effectiveness of sebetralstat in reducing anxiety during HAE attacks and underscored the importance of having an oral, on-demand treatment option that could help people manage attacks earlier and more frequently. Patient perspectives shared at the forum also reinforced the high prevalence of anxiety associated with the use of injectable therapies, further supporting the call for more accessible oral alternatives.

Organizational

  • In November,KalVistaraised a total of$160 millionin aggregate gross proceeds through concurrent synthetic royalty financing and equity offerings. The synthetic royalty financing agreement with DRI Healthcare provides up to$179 millionin non-dilutive funding, including$100 millionupfront.

  • Research and development expenses were$16.6 millionfor the three months endedOctober 31, 2024, compared to$19.1 millionfor the same period in the prior fiscal year.

  • General and administrative expenses were$29.2 millionfor the three months endedOctober 31, 2024, compared to$10.7 millionfor the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to pre-commercial planning activities related to sebetralstat.
