Dyax Corp (DYAX) FDA OK to Expand Use of Its Plasma Kallikrein Inhibitor, China Finance Online (JRJC
Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) is a very rare and potentially life-threatening genetic condition that occurs in about 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 50,000 people. It is called hereditary because the genetic defect is passed on in families. A child has a 50% chance of inheriting this disease if one of his or her parents has it.
HAE symptoms include episodes of edema (swelling) in various body parts including the hands, feet, face and airway.
In addition, patients often have bouts of excruciating abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting that is caused by swelling in the intestinal wall. Airway swelling is particularly dangerous and can lead to death by asphyxiation. Attacks of swelling can become more severe in late childhood and adolescence.
HAE is caused by low or dysfunctional levels of C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH), a naturally occurring molecule that inhibits plasma kallikrein, a key mediator of inflammation, and other serine proteases in the blood.
Dyax Corp. (DYAX) reported that the U.S. FDA has approved an expansion of the indication for KALBITOR (ecallantide), a peptide inhibitor of plasma kallikrein used in the treatment of acute hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks, to include patients 12 years of age and older.
With this approval, KALBITOR is the first and only subcutaneous therapy available to treat acute attacks of HAE in patients 12 years of age and older. KALBITOR, which was discovered and developed by DYAX, is also the only therapy that is not purified from human plasma that has been approved to treat this patient group.
DYAX is a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of novel biotherapeutics for unmet medical needs. DYAX currently markets KALBITOR for the treatment of acute attacks of HAE in patients 12 years of age and older. DYAX is also developing DX-2930 for the prophylactic treatment of HAE.
