TAKHZYRO CLINICAL STUDY RESULTS

Freedom from HAE attacks: Some people experienced up to one year attack free

TAKHZYRO offers the possibility of fewer attacks based on results from clinical studies. In the studies, some patients experienced zero attacks over periods of time. Learn more about clinical study results and TAKHZYRO safety.

First study leading
to
TAKHZYRO FDA
approval

The 6.5-month clinical study included 125 people diagnosed with HAE aged 12 years and older. The main goal of the study was to evaluate the ability of TAKHZYRO 300 mg every 2 weeks to reduce the frequency of HAE attacks.

On average, people had

87%

fewer attacks

compared with placebo

44%.

ATTACKS

for the entire 6.5-month
study

compared with 2%
of those
taking placebo

People also had 83% fewer moderate or severe attacks and 87% fewer attacks that needed acute treatment compared to placebo.

Second study
completed after
FDA
approval

The 2.5-year open-label extension clinical study included 212 people diagnosed with HAE aged 12 years and older. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the long-term safety of TAKHZYRO 300 mg every 2 weeks. Patients knew they were receiving TAKHZYRO, which could have influenced the study results.

In this study, people taking TAKHZYRO for an average of 2.5 years had similar results to those in the 6.5-month clinical study.

On average, people had

87%

fewer attacks

compared with baseline

69%.

of people

HAD ZERO
ATTACKS

for up to a year

People also had 84% fewer moderate or severe attacks and 93% fewer attacks that needed acute treatment compared with baseline.

Baseline means a person's attack rate before beginning treatment in either the clinical study or the long-term open-label study.

All data presented are for TAKHZYRO 300 mg every 2 weeks unless otherwise indicated.

I was experiencing 2 to 3 attacks per month. Now with TAKHZYRO, I've gone up to 12 months without an HAE attack.

KELLY: I stay on treatment because I remember what my HAE was like before prevention, and I do not want to go back there.

JACK: HAE attacks are unpredictable. TAKHZYRO has made my HAE attacks less frequent. And let's face it, having fewer HAE attacks is just as important today as it was when I started treatment. I definitely don't want to go back to a life with more HAE attacks.

DENNIS: Injecting TAKHZYRO once every two weeks is certainly better than dealing with all the HAE attacks I used to have.

ANDREW: There were times before I started TAKHZYRO when all I could do was take my on-demand medication and push through the HAE attack, waiting for the medicine to work. Now that I'm having fewer attacks, I don't have to do that as much.

SORAYA: I can't say enough about the OnePath Product Support staff. They have been with me through the whole process. Whenever there was a problem accessing my TAKHZYRO, they would say, we are here to help you, and they always did. They work very hard to make sure I got my TAKHZYRO.
