Kallikrein inhibitors for angioedema : the progress of preclinical and early phase studies

INTRODUCTION: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by recurrent edema and predominantly caused by the dysregulation of the kinin-kallikrein system.

AREAS COVERED: This manuscript presents the results of preclinical and early clinical trials of newer drugs targeting the dysregulated kinin-kallikrein system. ATN-249 is an oral drug that has shown promising results in preclinical and Phase I studies, and good tolerability in the prophylactic treatment of attacks. KVD900 is also an oral agent developed for the on-demand treatment of HAE attacks. It has shown positive results in Phase I/II studies, with rapid absorption. The third drug, IONIS-PKKRx, is an antisense oligonucleotide targeting plasma prekallikrein mRNA. It has shown a dose-dependent reduction of plasma prekallikrein levels and proenzyme activation in Phase I/II studies, and has shown promising results. STAR-0215 is a long acting anti-activated kallikrein monoclonal antibody. A Phase 1a single ascending dose trial evaluated its safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. Lastly, NTLA-2002 is an investigational gene-editing therapy.

EXPERT OPINION: The targeted treatment of the dysregulated kinin-kallikrein system with specific inhibitors is promising for the prevention of angioedema attacks. Ongoing phase III studies will provide further insight into the efficacy and long-term safety of these novel therapies, potentially expanding treatment options for HAE treatment.
