Up to one year of treatment with Takhzyro (lanadelumab) significantly reduced rates of swelling attacks and improved quality of life for children with hereditary angioedema (HAE) ages 2 through 11, according to results from the Phase 3 SPRING clinical trial. Results from the trial helped support the U.S.

Long-term treatment with Takhzyro (lanadelumab) was associated with quality of life gains among people with hereditary angioedema (HAE) who participated in the HELP open-label long-term extension (OLE) study.

A substantial proportion of adults with hereditary angioedema (HAE) in the Netherlands have poorly controlled disease, significantly affecting their quality of life, a survey study reported. Findings also linked well-controlled HAE to lower medical costs and greater productivity, relative to patients without adequate disease control. “Additional [preventive treatment] strategies…

Switching from under-the-skin injections of Takhzyro (lanadelumab) to oral capsules of Orladeyo (berotralstat) was generally safe and kept the occurrence of swelling attacks at low rates over one year in people with hereditary angioedema (HAE), according to a new data analysis of the Phase 2/3 APeX-S trial.

Takhzyro (lanadelumab) led to significant benefits for patients with hereditary angiodema (HAE) in France who received the therapy as part of an early-access program prior to its approval in Europe, a study has found.

About one year of treatment with Takhzyro (lanadelumab) safely and effectively lowered the frequency of swelling attacks, while improving quality of life and treatment satisfaction in people with hereditary angioedema (HAE), according to interim data from the real-world EMPOWER study. In addition, nearly 1 in 5 patients was able to…

Long-term treatment with Orladeyo (berotralstat) at its approved 150 mg daily dose reduces the rate of swelling attacks significantly and improves quality of life for people with hereditary angioedema (HAE), according to nearly two years of data from the Phase 3 APeX-2 trial. These benefits were observed to…

The burden that hereditary angioedema (HAE) has on patients’ quality of life is seldom discussed during clinical visits, a U.S. study suggests. The study also found that patients fail to fully describe disease symptoms during such appointments, so their struggles are not well-documented. Therefore, researchers recommend a more patient-driven…

Orladeyo (berotralstat) reduced the frequency of swelling attacks in people with hereditary angioedema (HAE) and improved their quality of life over the course of one year, according to the latest findings from the long-term APeX-S trial. The approved oral medication also was able to sustainably lower HAE attack…

Effective management of hereditary angioedema (HAE) should include addressing psychological and mental health, given that depression, stress, and anxiety are “prevalent” among patients and can place a considerable burden on those with the chronic genetic disease, a study reported. Indeed, according to researchers, “all participants [in this study] experienced…
