CAMBRIDGE, Mass. & SALISBURY, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: KALV), today provided an operational update and released financial results for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.

“The FDA approval of EKTERLY represents a major milestone—not only as the first commercial product for KalVista, but more importantly, as the first and only oral on-demand therapy for people living with HAE,” said Ben Palleiko, CEO of KalVista Pharmaceuticals. “EKTERLY delivers a long-awaited treatment that is safe, effective, and easy to administer. Our commercial team is actively engaging in the field, leveraging their expertise to educate and activate patients and physicians to enable timely access, drive awareness, and support informed treatment decisions around this important new therapy. With commercial partners now in place in Canada and Japan, and six global regulatory submissions under review, we believe EKTERLY is poised to become the foundational therapy for HAE management worldwide.”

Recent Business Highlights

EKTERLY® (sebetralstat)

• On July 7, 2025, KalVista announced FDA approval of EKTERLY (sebetralstat), a novel plasma kallikrein inhibitor, for the treatment of acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older.
• KalVista further strengthened the robust body of clinical evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of EKTERLY (sebetralstat) for the treatment of HAE. The Company presented new data at the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology Congress 2025 (EAACI), the 14th C1-inhibitor Deficiency & Angioedema (C1-INH) Workshop in Budapest, Hungary, and the Eastern Allergy Conference (EAC) in Palm Beach, Florida. Key highlights from these medical congresses are outlined below:
  • EAACI: Data showed the efficacy of EKTERLY (sebetralstat) for the on-demand treatment of HAE attacks among patients receiving long-term prophylaxis (LTP). Real world data highlighted significant challenges with LTP adherence, and ongoing reliance on on-demand medications. In KONFIDENT-S, EKTERLY (sebetralstat) delivered rapid, consistent relief for attacks, regardless of LTP mechanism of action with a median time to beginning of symptom relief of 1.3 hours.
  • C1-INH: Analysis from nearly 1,600 attacks in KONFIDENT-S showed a median time to end of attack progression of 19.8 minutes. These results aligned closely with KONFIDENT, reinforcing the rapid effect of EKTERLY (sebetralstat) after absorption. Interim data from KONFIDENT-S highlighted the role of EKTERLY (sebetralstat) in treating mucosal attacks with a median time to beginning of symptom relief of 1.3 hours for both abdominal and laryngeal attacks.
  • EAC: In KONFIDENT-S, EKTERLY (sebetralstat) was used to treat 76 attacks that had progressed to severe or very severe after a median of 2.16 hours from attack onset, demonstrating its utility in more advanced stages of HAE attacks. The median time to beginning of symptom relief for these attacks was 1.36 hours, with reduction in attack severity and substantial reduction of symptom burden in a median of 1.77 hours and 9.15 hours, respectively.

Organizational

• In April, KalVista entered into an exclusive agreement with Kaken Pharmaceutical, Co., Ltd. to commercialize sebetralstat in Japan. Under the terms of the deal, in June 2025 KalVista received an upfront payment of $11 million, and an additional $11 million will be paid upon achieving a regulatory milestone anticipated in early 2026. This agreement also includes potential commercial milestone payments of up to $2 million and royalties based on the Japan National Health Insurance (NHI) price, with royalties expected to be in the mid-twenties as a percentage of sales.
• In June, KalVista granted Pendopharm, a division of Pharmascience Inc., the exclusive rights to manage the regulatory approval process and commercialization of sebetralstat in Canada.

Financial Results for Fiscal Year Ended April 30, 2025:

• Research and development expenses were $71.7 million and $86.2 million for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The decrease in R&D was primarily attributable to reduced clinical trial expenses, preclinical activities and recognizing expense associated with EKTERLY (sebetralstat) pre-commercial awareness within General & Administrative.
• General and administrative expenses were $116.3 million and $54.3 million for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to pre-commercial planning expenses related to EKTERLY (sebetralstat).
• Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $220.6 million on April 30, 2025, compared to $210.4 million on April 30, 2024.
