Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?This trial is testing a medication called KVD900 in teenagers with a rare condition that causes sudden swelling. The goal is to see how the medication behaves in their bodies and if it can help manage their symptoms.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but you cannot participate if you are taking any anti-coagulant or anti-platelet agents.

What data supports the effectiveness of the drug KVD900 for hereditary angioedema?

Research shows that KVD900, an oral plasma kallikrein inhibitor, has promising potential as an on-demand treatment for hereditary angioedema, as it helps control the swelling and pain associated with the condition.

Is KVD900 (sebetralstat) safe for humans?

Sebetralstat, also known as KVD900, is being tested for safety in a phase 3 trial for hereditary angioedema, and earlier trials have shown promising safety results. While specific safety data for KVD900 is limited, similar drugs like berotralstat have shown mild to moderate side effects, mostly related to the stomach, with minimal serious issues reported.

Evaluation of patient-reported outcome measures for on-demand treatment of hereditary angioedema attacks and design of KONFIDENT, a phase 3 trial of sebetralstat. [2023]Hereditary angioedema (HAE) with C1-inhibitor deficiency (HAE-C1-INH) is characterized by recurrent, debilitating episodes of swelling. Sebetralstat, an investigational oral plasma kallikrein inhibitor, demonstrated promising efficacy for on-demand treatment of HAE-C1-INH in a phase 2 trial. We describe the multipronged approach informing the design of KONFIDENT, a phase 3 randomized, placebo-controlled, three-way crossover trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of sebetralstat in patients aged ≥12 years with HAE-C1-INH.

Pharmacological suppression of the kallikrein kinin system with KVD900: An orally available plasma kallikrein inhibitor for the on-demand treatment of hereditary angioedema. [2022]Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disease that leads to recurrent episodes of swelling and pain caused by uncontrolled plasma kallikrein (PKa) activity. Current guidelines recommend ready availability of on-demand HAE treatments that can be administered early upon attack onset. This report describes the pharmacological and pharmacodynamic properties of the novel oral small-molecule PKa inhibitor KVD900 as a potential on-demand treatment for HAE.

[2023]Guidelines recommend effective on-demand therapy for all individuals with hereditary angioedema. We aimed to assess the novel oral plasma kallikrein inhibitor, sebetralstat, which is in development, for on-demand treatment of hereditary angioedema attacks.
A review of oral kallikrein inhibitor berotralstat for hereditary angioedema. [2022]Orladeyo, a once-daily oral formulation of berotralstat (formerly BCX-7353), is a novel oral small-molecule drug developed by BioCryst Pharmaceuticals for the prevention of hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks. It was first approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2020, and in 2021 also gained approval for marketing in Japan and the European Union. Preclinical and phase I studies showed promising efficacy and safety, and several multicenter international Angioedema Prophylaxis (APeX) phase II and III trials have since been initiated to further evaluate berotralstat. The ongoing phase III APeX-2 trial showed a 67% reduction in HAE attacks at the standard 150-mg dosing. Mild to moderate gastrointestinal side effects are most commonly seen and minimal serious adverse effects have been reported. Other first-line therapies for HAE prophylaxis rely on burdensome subcutaneous or intravenous routes. Thus far berotralstat has shown to be effective and well tolerated for HAE prophylaxis with the convenience of once-daily oral dosing.

A Retrospective Analysis of Long-Term Prophylaxis with Berotralstat in Patients with Hereditary Angioedema and Acquired C1-Inhibitor Deficiency-Real-World Data. [2023]Hereditary angioedema (HAE) and acquired C1-inhibitor deficiency (AAE-C1-INH) are orphan diseases. Berotralstat is a recently licensed long-term prophylaxis (LTP) and the first oral therapy for HAE patients. No approved therapies exist for AAE-C1-INH patients. This study is the first to report real-world clinical data of patients with AAE-C1-INH and HAE who received Berotralstat. All patients treated with Berotralstat were included in this retrospective, bi-centric study. Data was collected from patients' attack calendars and the angioedema quality of life (AE-QoL) and angioedema control test (AECT) questionnaires before treatment, and at 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment and was then analyzed. Twelve patients were included, 3 patients with AAE-C1-INH, 7 patients with HAE type I, and 2 patients with HAE-nC1-INH. One patient (HAE I) quit treatment. Berotralstat was associated with fewer attacks in all groups. After 6 months of treatment, a median decrease of attacks per month was noted for HAE type I patients (3.3 to 1.5) and AAE-C1-INH patients (2.3 to 1.0). No aerodigestive attacks were noted for AAE-C1-INH patients. For HAE-nC1-INH patients, a mean decrease from 3.8 to 1.0 was noted (3 months). For HAE I patients, the total AE-QoL lowered a mean of 24.1 points after 6 months, for HAE-nC1-HAE patients 8.0 points, and for AAE-C1-INH patients 13.7 points. AECT scores increased for HAE I patients (mean: 7.1), HAE-nC1-INH patients (9.0), and AAE-C1-INH patients (4.2) after 6 months. Patients with HAE, HAE-nC1-INH, and AAE-C1-INH treated with Berotralstat showed reduced angioedema attacks and improved AE-QoL and AECT scores.
