Study Design

EKTERLY was studied in the largest on‑demand HAE trial1,2

The KONFIDENT phase 3 trial reflected the broad population of patients with HAE who continue to live with attacks2,3

  • Adult and adolescents icon
    Adults & adolescents Ages 12 years and older3
  • Attack icon

*Prophylaxis treatments included berotralstat (38%), lanadelumab (33%), and C1 inhibitor replacement (25%).2

Patients treated 3 attacks with either EKTERLY 300 mg, 600 mg, or placebo2,3

    • KONFIDENT was a multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3, crossover study of 136 patients from 17 countries. Study participants were randomized to receive either placebo, EKTERLY 300 mg, or EKTERLY 600 mg to treat 3 attacks in a 3-way crossover design using 1 of 6 treatment sequences.2,4

KONFIDENT: Setting a new standard for on‑demand trials in HAE6,7

The first trial to use patient-informed outcomes as endpoints, designed with input from patients with HAE6,7

PRIMARY ENDPOINT

Time to beginning of symptom relief2,3

Defined as a rating of at least “a little better” for at least 2 consecutive timepoints on the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) scale within 12 hours of first dose

PGI-C (7-Point Scale)4

PGI-S 7-point scale
Mechanism of Action

Patients who reported at least “a little better” had clinically meaningful improvement in attack symptoms6

EKTERLY enables rapid treatment within minutes of recognizing an attack2

*KONFIDENT-S is a multicenter, open-label extension trial of 134 adult and adolescent (≥12 years of age) patients. Study participants had a confirmed diagnosis of HAE and ≥2 attacks within 3 months and were enrolled after completing the KONFIDENT phase 3 trial or de novo.8,9

†For severe laryngeal attacks, patients were directed to treat with their conventional on-demand medication.10

INDICATION AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

INDICATION

EKTERLY® (sebetralstat) is a plasma kallikrein inhibitor indicated for the treatment of acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Adverse reactions: The most commonly reported adverse reaction was headache.

Drug interactions: EKTERLY is a substrate of CYP3A4. Concomitant use of EKTERLY with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increases sebetralstat exposure, which may increase the risk of sebetralstat adverse reactions. Avoid use of EKTERLY with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors and reduce the dose of EKTERLY to one dose of 300 mg (one tablet) with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors. Concomitant use of EKTERLY with a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer decreases sebetralstat exposure, which may decrease efficacy. The use of EKTERLY with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers is not recommended.

Use in specific populations: Avoid use of EKTERLY in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C). The recommended dosage of EKTERLY is one dose of 300 mg (one tablet) in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B).

There are no available data on EKTERLY in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are no data on the presence of sebetralstat or its metabolite in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production.

The safety and effectiveness of EKTERLY in pediatric patients aged under 12 years of age have not been established.
