“Today’s news, which comes only a few weeks following our announcements regarding our
The MAA submissions are supported by previously disclosed results, including data from the KONFIDENT phase 3 clinical trial and ongoing KONFIDENT-S open label extension trial. Sebetralstat met the primary endpoint for its phase 3 trial with both 300 mg and 600 mg formulations achieving the beginning of symptom relief significantly faster than placebo (p<0.0001 for 300 mg, p=0.0013 for 600 mg) and was well-tolerated, with a safety profile similar to placebo. In KONFIDENT-S, sebetralstat has enabled patients to treat attacks early with a median time from attack onset to treatment of 9 minutes, demonstrated a consistent safety and efficacy profile with KONFIDENT, and included a median time to beginning of symptom relief for laryngeal attacks of 1.3 hours. KONFIDENT and KONFIDENT-S are the only clinical trials ever conducted in HAE that instruct participants to treat their attacks as early as possible, regardless of severity, in accordance with on-demand treatment guidelines. Early treatment of attacks, prior to progression, is a critical element in proper management of HAE, to minimize symptom burden.
KalVista’s KONFIDENT-KID clinical trial, designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sebetralstat in a pediatric population aged 2-11 years, began dosing patients ahead of schedule in June 2024.
About the KONFIDENT Phase 3 Trial
The KONFIDENT phase 3 clinical trial was a randomized, double blind, 3-way crossover trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of sebetralstat 300 mg and 600 mg versus placebo for the on-demand treatment of HAE in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older. The trial randomized a total of 136 HAE patients from 66 clinical sites across 20 countries, making it the largest clinical trial ever conducted in HAE. In the trial, participants treated each eligible attack with up to two doses of study drug and treated up to three attacks over the course of the study. The trial included type 1 and type 2 HAE patients who had at least two documented HAE attacks in 90 days prior to randomization, including patients receiving long-term prophylaxis.
About the KONFIDENT-S Trial
KONFIDENT-S is an open label extension trial with numerous real-world elements evaluating the long-term safety and efficacy of sebetralstat for on-demand treatment of HAE attacks in adults and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older with HAE Type I or Type II. KalVista plans to transition ongoing participants in the trial to an oral disintegrating tablet (ODT) formulation in Q4 2024 to support a planned 2026 sNDA filing of this additional formulation. If approved, the ODT formulation would provide people living with HAE an alternative, novel option for oral, on-demand treatment.

About Hereditary Angioedema
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disease resulting in deficiency or dysfunction in the C1 esterase inhibitor (C1INH) protein and subsequent uncontrolled activation of the kallikrein-kinin system. People living with HAE experience painful and debilitating attacks of tissue swelling in various locations of the body that can be life-threatening depending on the location affected. All currently approved on-demand treatment options require either intravenous or subcutaneous administration.
