Our Goals for Today
Augment your knowledge of the unmet needs of
patients living with HAE and current challenges and
barriers related to long-term prophylaxis
Improve your understanding of novel and emerging
options for long-term prophylaxis
Equip you with strategies to educate patients with
HAE on the benefits of long-term prophylaxis and how
to manage any adverse events
Provide guidance on creating individualized treatment
plans for patients with HAE
Optimal Approach to Treatment
and Burden of Disease for
Patients With HAE

gioedema: Bradykinin vs Histamine
Bradykinin famine
Severity of swelling Greater Lesser
Duration of swelling Longer Shorter
Risk for fatal airway obstruction Appreciable Exceedingly low
Abdominal attacks Very common Rare
Response to antihistamines, Poor Excellent
+ Debilitating and potentially life-threatening autosomal dominant disease
+ Caused by an inherited deficiency in C1 esterase inhibitor
Symptoms typically develop in childhood or young adulthood
Swelling of the airway
can cause asphyxiation
Gastrointestinal swelling can cause
nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
Recurrent swelling of the face, tongue,
gs, and abdomen
Ifuntreated, up to 40% mortality rate
from asphyxiation
Attacks can be triggered by stress, trauma, infection, menstruation, estrogens, and ACE inhibitor use

Acute Attacks
Resolve angioedema symptoms as quickly as possible during an attack
Long-Term Prophylaxis
Decrease the overall number and severity of angioedema attacks
Short-Term Prophylaxis
Reduce the likelihood of swelling in response to anticipated events
that are likely to precipitate an attack (eg, medical or dental procedures)

Treatment Recommenda
+ Evidence demonstrates efficacy and safety of treatment of HAE attacks with
C1-INH concentrates, plasma kallikrein inhibitor, and bradykinin B2 receptor
antagonist
— FFP is often effective, but may exacerbate some attacks; caution is required
— Androgens and antifibrinolytics do not provide reliably effective treatment of
attacks
+ Epinephrine, corticosteroids, and antihistamines are not effective
+ All patients should have at least 2 doses of on-demand medication and treat as
early as recognized

o Considerations for the Initiation of
All patients are candidates for long-term Long-Term Prophylaxis
prophylaxis
ical Factors
Disease burden and patient preference should
be taken into strong consideration
Disease Burden Factors
Quality of
A C1-inhibitor is recommended for first-line
treatment
— Prior to FDA approval of garadacimab,
lanadelumab, berotralstat, and donidalorsen
Treatment-Specific Factors
+ Suggest modification of long-term prophylaxis in Risk-benefit pro
terms of dosage and time interval to minimize oe,
burden of disease Patient preference
+ Emphasize LTP benefits: Reduces attack frequency/severity, prevents complications, and
normalizes daily life
+ Tailor to fears: Highlight real-world data showing sustained QOL improvements
+ Address concerns transparently: “Most LTP therapies are well-tolerated; common effects
like injection-site reactions are mild and decrease over time”
— Maintain open communication
> Report new or bothersome symptoms promptly to the treating clinician
> Keep a symptom diary to track timing, severity, and potential triggers
— Adjust administration technique
> Rotate injection sites to minimize local reactions
> Use proper injection/infusion training and supportive measures (ice packs, topical
anesthetics, slower infusion rates if applicable)

+ Reassure with monitoring plans: “We'll check in frequently to manage any side effects”
= Regular follow-up visits and laboratory monitoring as recommended (eg, liver function, lipids,
injection-site reactions)
— Share updates on quality of life and tolerability at each visit
+ Supportive care for mild AEs
- Apply over-the-counter remedies when appropriate
- Stay well hydrated and maintain a healthy lifestyle to reduce fatigue or headache risks
+ Individualized treatment adjustments
- Discuss dose timing or regimen adjustments if AEs interfere with daily life
- Explore alternative prophylactic options if AEs persist or worsen
+ Emergency preparedness
- Ensure on-demand therapy is always available in case of breakthrough HAE attacks
— Have an action plan for serious or unexpected AEs (know when to call the clinic vs
seek urgent care)

Y” John is a 54-year-old man who presents to your clinic with
a diagnosis of HAE with C1 inhibitor deficiency
v He has been prescribed icatibant to use on demand for
his HAE attacks
v This has been working well, but he notes an increase in
attacks recently ranging from 1 attack a month to
occasionally 2-3 attacks/month; his attacks always involve
his hands or feet
Y He would like to understand what are the best next steps
for treatment of his hereditary angioedema with C1
inhibitor deficiency
+ Maria was diagnosed with HAE (C1-INH deficiency, type I)
at age 17; family history positive in mother and brother
+ Baseline disease course
- Before prophylaxis, she averaged 3-4 attacks/month,
often requiring on-demand C1-INH and missing school
or work
+ Current treatment
- On SC C1-INH twice weekly for the past 18 months
— Good initial response, but still averaging ~2
breakthrough attacks/month (abdominal pain and
extremity swelling)
— Finds administration burdensome: requires planning,
needle fatigue, and has had recurrent injection-site
discomfort
Case Presentat Maria, a 29-Year-Old Woman (Cont'd)
Maria decides to switch to donidalorsen
+ Dosing advantage: Administered SC once every 4-8
weeks, which may improve adherence and reduce
treatment burden and has shown success
Maria is initiated on donidalorsen 80 mg SC Q4W
+ After 6 months of stability, extended to Q8W dosing, maintaining control
+ Maria has a marked reduction in attack frequency: from ~2/month to $1 every 2-3 months
+ Several attack-free stretches of 12+ weeks; unprecedented for the patient
Decreased need for on-demand therapy (rare use of icatibant only once in the past 6 months)
No significant adverse effects; occasional mild injection-site erythema, self-resolving
