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

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.

On-demand treatment of hereditary angioedema attacks: patient-reported utilization, barriers, and outcomes.

Background: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is clinically characterized by recurrent attacks of cutaneous and submucosal swelling.

Objective: To investigate real-world timing, potential barriers, and impact of delaying on-demand treatment (OD) of HAE attacks METHODS: Patients with HAE (type I or II) aged ≥12 years with ≥1 treated (Treated Cohort) or untreated (Untreated Cohort) attack in the past 3 months were recruited by the US HAE Association. Respondents completed a 20-minute, self-reported, online survey about their last HAE attack.

Clinical Response and Corresponding Blood Transcriptome Pathways Pre- And Post-Treatment Of Hereditary Angioedema Prodromes Compared To Active Swelling Attacks.

Rationale: Approximately 85% Hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks are associated with prodromal symptoms. We investigated the clinical effect of treating HAE-C1 inhibitor (HAE-C1INH) Type 1 patients with Conestat Alfa® (recombinant human C1-INH) during their prodrome versus an active swelling episode and associated changes in blood transcriptomic genes and pathways pre- vs. post-treatment.

Study of Urinary Protein Biomarkers in Hereditary Angioedema.

Background: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare and potentially life-threatening disease, and diagnosis is often missed or delayed. We aimed to identify noninvasive urinary protein biomarkers and to evaluate their potential roles in diagnosis and evaluation of disease severity.

Methods: Using data-independent acquisition (DIA)-based urinary proteomics, we identified proteins that were differentially expressed between patients with HAE and healthy control (HC) groups.

Efficacy and safety of Donidalorsen in Hereditary Angioedema with C1 inhibitor deficiency: a systematic review and a meta analysis.

Hereditary angioedema with C1 inhibitor deficiency (HAE-C1-INH) is a rare disorder characterized by recurrent, potentially life-threatening swelling in various parts of the body, including the limbs, face, and airways Current treatments focus primarily on symptomatic relief and the management of acute attacks, without targeting the underlying genetic cause or the dysregulated bradykinin production. Donidalorsen, a novel antisense oligonucleotide, addresses a key driver of HAE-C1-INH by targeting prekallikrein (PKK) to reduce bradykinin levels. This meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy and safety of Donidalorsen versus placebo, focusing on two dosing regimens: 4-week and 8-week intervals.

Hereditary angioedema in children: Review and practical perspective for clinical management.

Background: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) in children has specific features and requires multidisciplinary management.

Methods: We performed a literature search and underwent in-depth discussions to provide practical tools for physicians.

Results: HAE is a rare, life-threatening genetic disorder.

Angioedema.

Angioedema can occur in the absence of urticaria and can be broadly divided into three main categories: mast cell-mediated (e.g., histamine), non-mast-cell-mediated (bradykinin-induced) and idiopathic angioedema.
