AN UNPREDICTABLE AND POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING GENETIC DISEASE

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disease that causes recurrent, debilitating, and potentially life-threatening attacks of angioedema in the body. HAE affects about 1 in 50,000 people of all ages.1,2

An accurate and early diagnosis is an important first step in developing an effective management plan for your patients with HAE. Untreated HAE attacks can grow in intensity and may take longer to resolve.2,4

Attacks in the larynx can be life-threatening, and they are especially dangerous for children who lack the ability to self-administer treatment during an attack or who may be unable to describe their symptoms.2,3,5

TAKHZYRO is not indicated for acute treatment.

For both adult and pediatric patients, attacks can occur in the…3

The severity and frequency of HAE attacks may vary for each individual over time regardless of age, meaning that past attacks do not predict the severity of future attacks.6

Craft an Effective HAE Management Plan

Your patients' needs and disease may change over time, and they may need a reminder that their management plan can change.1

  • All patients with HAE should have access to at least 2 doses of an acute medication in order to treat attacks when they happen1
  • The 2020 HAEA guidelines recommend1:
    • Reviewing management plans for patients with HAE on a regular basis, including the need for preventive treatment1
    • TAKHZYRO as one of the first-line therapies for long term prevention for adult and adolescent patients ≥12 years of age1,8

What does effective prevention mean for patients?

Hear from patients taking TAKHZYRO.

DENNIS: Effective prevention means it has the potential to reduce the frequency of my HAE attacks. With TAKHZYRO, not only am I having fewer attacks, but they're also less severe.

SORAYA: I used to have three HAE attacks a week and felt like I was spending half my life in the hospital. Now, I'm having periods of as long as two months with zero attacks, thanks to TAKHZYRO. Which is great because for me, even one attack is too many.

KELLY: Before preventive treatment, I felt like I could have an HAE attack at any moment. But in the last 12 months, I've only had one attack. That's incredible. I feel like now that I'm having fewer attacks, I've reached a new normal.

JACK: Years ago, HAE attacks forced me to quit my job. Reducing the frequency of my HAE attacks has helped me to focus on my career as a nurse.

ANDREW: Before I started preventive treatment, if I had an HAE attack, I would basically try my best to manage it in the moment. I would treat the swell reactively with my on-demand medicine and just wait for it to go down. Now that I'm taking TAKHZYRO, I know there's a way to help prevent my HAE attacks.

NARRATOR: TAKHZYRO (lanadelumab) is a prescription medicine used to prevent attacks of hereditary angioedema, HAE, in people 2 years of age and older. It is not known if TAKHZYRO is safe and effective in children under 2 years of age. TAKHZYRO may cause serious side effects including allergic reactions. Call your healthcare provider or get emergency help right away if you have any of the following symptoms: wheezing, difficulty breathing, chest tightness, fast heartbeat, faintness, rash, and/or hives.

NARRATOR: The most common side effects seen with TAKHZYRO were injection site reactions (pain, redness, and bruising), upper respiratory infection, headache, rash, dizziness, diarrhea, and muscle aches. These are not all the possible side effects of TAKHZYRO. For more information, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. TAKHZYRO has not been studied in pregnant or breastfeeding women. Talk to your healthcare provider about the risk of taking TAKHZYRO if you are pregnant, plan to be pregnant, are breastfeeding, or plan to breastfeed.

NARRATOR: Talk to your healthcare provider about TAKHZYRO, the only preventive HAE treatment you take as a subcutaneous injection just once every two weeks.

The US HAEA guidelines recommend TAKHZYRO as one of the first-line preventive therapy options for long-term prevention for adults and adolescents ≥12 years old1

JACK: The HAEA is a nonprofit advocacy and research group that helps people with HAE and it's an organization that I trust. Their website is one of the first ones I tell people to visit if they want to learn about the condition.

KELLY: The HAEA worked with experts in the medical community to create HAE treatment recommendations. These guidelines recommend that everyone with HAE talk to their doctor about long-term preventive treatment in order to find out if it's right for them.

ANDREW: My HAE attacks weren't always frequent, but they could certainly be unpredictable. I thought it was enough to just take my on-demand medication when I needed it and just push through the attack. But talking to my doctor and understanding the guidance from the HAEA about long-term prevention really helped me turn a corner in how I manage my attacks.

DENNIS: It definitely gives me confidence knowing that they recommend TAKHZYRO as a preventive option. It means TAKHZYRO is one of the preventive treatments you should talk to your doctor about.

SORAYA: The HAEA recommendation makes me think I'm taking a medication that is recommended in the HAE community and I can feel good about that.
