Lanadelumab-flyo in children 2 to <12 years of age:
Three new analyses of the open-label, multicenter, Phase 3 SPRING Study (NCT04070326), which evaluated the safety and pharmacokinetics of lanadelumab-flyo in children living with HAE 2 to <12 years of age, will be presented. Recently, Takeda announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administrationās approval of the expanded use of TAKHZYRO for prophylaxis to prevent attacks of HAE in pediatric patients 2 to <12 years of age, based on an extrapolation of efficacy data from the HELP Study with pharmacokinetic analyses as well as safety and pharmacodynamic data from the SPRING Study.1-3,8
Lanadelumab-flyo real-world evidence:
A 24-month interim analysis of the Phase 4 observational, non-interventional, multicenter EMPOWER study (NCT03845400) provides real-world insights into the effectiveness of lanadelumab-flyo related to HAE attack rate reduction, quality of life and angioedema control after initiation.4
Lanadelumab-flyo in individuals living with HAE with Normal C1-Inhibitor (nC1-INH-HAE): New data from a retrospective chart review provides insights into efficacy of lanadelumab-flyo in patients with nC1-INH-HAE.5
HAE disease burden and differences in HAE experience across racial and ethnic groups:
Two new analyses of real-world data from the Adelphi HAE Disease Specific Programmeā¢ highlight the impact of HAE on patients <18 years of age and explore the differences between disease-related experiences of patients of different racial and ethnic backgrounds.6,7

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disorder that results in recurring attacks of oedema ā swelling ā in various parts of the body, including the abdomen, face, feet, genitals, hands and throat. The swelling can be debilitating and painful.10,11 Attacks that obstruct the airways, can cause asphyxiation and are potentially life threatening.11 HAE affects an estimated 1 in 50,000 people worldwide.10 It is often under recognized, under diagnosed and under treated.12
Hereditary angioedema (HAE), like so many other rare diseases, is highly complex, and patients, their families and caregivers often undergo years of strain trying to understand their disease, get a definitive diagnosis and gain access to the medicines they need.

Every individual living with HAE is unique and by listening and reacting to their needs, we translate the insights we gain into innovative solutions ā from diagnosis to ongoing management.
