Real-world outcomes in hereditary angioedema : first experience from the Icatibant Outcome Survey in the United Kingdom

BACKGROUND: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a potentially life-threatening, bradykinin-mediated disease, often misdiagnosed and under-treated, with long diagnostic delays. There are limited real-world data on best-practice management of HAE in the UK.

OBJECTIVES: To characterize the clinical profile, management and outcomes of patients with HAE type I and II from three specialist centres in the UK using data from the Icatibant Outcome Survey (IOS; Shire, Zug, Switzerland), an international observational study monitoring safety and effectiveness of icatibant, a selective bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist.

METHODS: We performed retrospective analyses of IOS data for patients with HAE type I and II from three centres in the UK and compared UK data with pooled IOS data from 10 countries (48 centres).

RESULTS: Analyses included 73 UK and 579 non-UK patients with HAE type I or II. Median diagnostic delay was 6.2 and 5.9 years, respectively. Analysis of data collected from February 2008 to July 2016 included 286 icatibant-treated attacks in 58 UK patients and 2553 icatibant-treated attacks in 436 non-UK patients (median of 3.0 attacks per patient in both groups). More attacks were treated by icatibant self-administration in UK patients (95.8%) than in non-UK patients (86.8%, p < 0.001). Time to icatibant treatment, time to resolution and attack duration were not significantly different in the UK versus non-UK patients.

CONCLUSION: UK patients from the specialist centres studied report similar diagnostic delay and similar icatibant treatment outcomes to their non-UK counterparts. However, improvements in the timely diagnosis of HAE are still required.Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01034969.
