A Retrospective Analysis of Long-Term Prophylaxis with Berotralstat in Patients with Hereditary Angioedema and Acquired C1-Inhibitor Deficiency-Real-World Data.

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.
