An algorithm that takes into account factors such as the frequency and location of swelling attacks may help distinguish chronic histaminergic angioedema (CHA), which is a form of angioedema, from chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), a disorder with similar symptoms. That’s according to a study, “Predictive…
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) patients in South Australia are generally satisfied with their prophylactic (preventive) treatment regimens, a study found. Danazol appeared to be a popular choice for patients with milder disease, while newer therapies like C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) products and Takhzyro (lanadelumab) were preferred for patients…
Regulatory authorities in Japan, the U.S., and the European Union have aligned on plans for a Phase 3 clinical trial to test the oral medication deucrictibant as a prophylactic (preventive) treatment to reduce the risk of swelling attacks in people with hereditary angioedema (HAE). With alignment from the U.S.

Many people with hereditary angioedema (HAE) delay on-demand treatment for their attacks because they think the swelling isn’t severe enough or due to high costs and challenges related to injection, which can worsen symptoms, a survey study finds. “Survey results highlight that decision making regarding on-demand treatment in HAE…
Race and geographic disparities are common in clinical trials of hereditary angioedema (HAE), with non-white patients and countries outside the U.S. and Europe underrepresented, a study by an international team of researchers has found. While participation from European and Asian nations in HAE trials has increased significantly in the…
People with non-hereditary angioedema living with a substance use disorder (SUD) have a significantly elevated risk of breathing-related hospitalizations and complications, according to a U.S. nationwide study involving more than 140,000 people.
