EKTERLY® (sebetralstat)
-
On
July 7, 2025 ,KalVista announced FDA approval of EKTERLY (sebetralstat), a novel plasma kallikrein inhibitor, for the treatment of acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older. -
KalVista further strengthened the robust body of clinical evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of EKTERLY (sebetralstat) for the treatment of HAE. The Company presented new data at theEuropean Academy of Allergy andClinical Immunology Congress 2025 (EAACI), the 14thC1-inhibitor Deficiency & Angioedema (C1-INH) Workshop inBudapest, Hungary , and theEastern Allergy Conference (EAC) inPalm Beach, Florida . Key highlights from these medical congresses are outlined below:- EAACI: Data showed the efficacy of EKTERLY (sebetralstat) for the on-demand treatment of HAE attacks among patients receiving long-term prophylaxis (LTP). Real world data highlighted significant challenges with LTP adherence, and ongoing reliance on on-demand medications. In KONFIDENT-S, EKTERLY (sebetralstat) delivered rapid, consistent relief for attacks, regardless of LTP mechanism of action with a median time to beginning of symptom relief of 1.3 hours.
- C1-INH: Analysis from nearly 1,600 attacks in KONFIDENT-S showed a median time to end of attack progression of 19.8 minutes. These results aligned closely with KONFIDENT, reinforcing the rapid effect of EKTERLY (sebetralstat) after absorption. Interim data from KONFIDENT-S highlighted the role of EKTERLY (sebetralstat) in treating mucosal attacks with a median time to beginning of symptom relief of 1.3 hours for both abdominal and laryngeal attacks.
- EAC: In KONFIDENT-S, EKTERLY (sebetralstat) was used to treat 76 attacks that had progressed to severe or very severe after a median of 2.16 hours from attack onset, demonstrating its utility in more advanced stages of HAE attacks. The median time to beginning of symptom relief for these attacks was 1.36 hours, with reduction in attack severity and substantial reduction of symptom burden in a median of 1.77 hours and 9.15 hours, respectively.
