Background Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare disorder in India, and while prevalence data is limited, it is believed that a significant number of individuals may be affected. Due to restricted access to first-line treatments, older therapies like danazol are commonly used despite associated risks in resource-constrained settings. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of danazol as an affordable long-term prophylaxis (LTP) for HAE in a three-generation family.

Over the past two decades, guidelines for the on-demand treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks have undergone significant evolution. Early treatment guidelines, such as the Canadian 2003 International Consensus Algorithm, often gated on-demand treatment by attack location and/or severity. Pivotal trials for on-demand injectable treatments (plasma-derived C1 esterase inhibitor [C1INH], icatibant, ecallantide [US only], recombinant C1INH), which were approved in the US and EU between 2008-2014, were designed accordingly.

Hereditary angioedema type 1 (HAE1) is a rare, genetically heterogeneous, and autosomal dominant disease. It is a highly variable, insidious, and potentially life-threatening condition, characterized by sudden local, often asymmetric, and episodic subcutaneous and submucosal swelling, caused by pathogenic molecular variants in the SERPING1 gene, which codes for C1-Inhibitor protein. This study performed the phenotypic and molecular characterization of a HAE1 cluster that includes the largest number of affected worldwide.

Real-world Effectiveness of Lanadelumab in Hereditary Angioedema: Multi-country INTEGRATED Observational Study.

J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract

December 2024

EUCAN Medical Affairs, Takeda Pharmaceuticals International AG, Glattpark-Opfikon (Zürich), Switzerland.

Background: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disease characterized by recurrent episodes of cutaneous or subcutaneous edema. There is clinical need for treatments that reduce the rate of HAE attacks in patients.

Objectives: Primary objectives were to evaluate the effectiveness of lanadelumab on attack free rate (AFR; proportion of patients who had zero HAE attacks), and on every two weeks (Q2W) and every four weeks (Q4W) adjustments on AFR.
