Zapobieganie i profilaktyka

Obrzęk naczynioruchowy (angioedema), zwłaszcza jego dziedziczna postać (HAE), wymaga kompleksowego podejścia terapeutycznego z uwzględnieniem profilaktyki krótkoterminowej (STP) i długoterminowej (LTP). STP stosuje się przed zabiegami wysokiego ryzyka (np. stomatologicznymi, chirurgicznymi) lub stresującymi sytuacjami, wykorzystując głównie koncentrat inhibitora C1 pochodzenia osoczowego (pd-C1-INH) w dawce 15-30 j/kg mc. podawany do 6 godzin przed zabiegiem, a w przypadku braku dostępności – 17-α-alkilowane androgeny (np. danazol 200 mg 2-3x/d) lub świeżo mrożone osocze. LTP dedykowana jest pacjentom z częstymi (>1-2/tydzień) lub ciężkimi atakami, stosując regularną terapię inhibitorami C1-INH (Cinryze 1000 j i.v. co 3-4 dni, Haegarda/Berinert SC podskórnie 2x/tydzień), lanadelumab (300 mg s.c. co 2 tygodnie w fazie indukcji, następnie co 4 tygodnie) lub berotralstat (Orladeyo) – doustny inhibitor kalikreiny podawany raz dziennie. Terapie te wykazują redukcję częstości ataków nawet o 90%, co potwierdzają badania kliniczne i wytyczne WAO/EAACI. Alternatywnie stosuje się androgeny atenuowane i leki antyfibrynolityczne, jednak ze względu na działania niepożądane i ograniczenia u dzieci oraz kobiet w ciąży, są one terapią drugiego wyboru.

Obrzęk naczynioruchowy (Angioedema) – podstawy profilaktyki

Obrzęk naczynioruchowy (angioedema) to schorzenie charakteryzujące się epizodami obrzęku skóry i tkanki podskórnej oraz błon śluzowych. Stanowi on poważny problem zdrowotny, szczególnie w przypadku dziedzicznej postaci schorzenia (HAE – Hereditary Angioedema). Aby zminimalizować trudności związane z tą patologią i poprawić jakość życia pacjentów, profilaktyka jest kluczowym elementem postępowania terapeutycznego.12

Profilaktyka obrzęku naczynioruchowego ma na celu kontrolę i zapobieganie obrzękowi występującemu w głębszych warstwach skóry lub w błonach śluzowych. Dostępne są różne opcje leczenia profilaktycznego, głównie w postaci leków, a ich zastosowanie zależy od wielu czynników, takich jak typ obrzęku naczynioruchowego oraz czy celem jest zapobieganie czy leczenie doraźne.34

Rodzaje profilaktyki

W leczeniu obrzęku naczynioruchowego, szczególnie HAE, wyróżniamy dwa główne rodzaje profilaktyki:5

  1. Krótkoterminowa profilaktyka (STP – Short-Term Prophylaxis) – stosowana przed zabiegami wysokiego ryzyka lub stresującymi wydarzeniami
  2. Długoterminowa profilaktyka (LTP – Long-Term Prophylaxis) – stosowana regularnie w celu zmniejszenia częstotliwości i nasilenia ataków

Nadrzędnym celem każdej terapii obrzęku naczynioruchowego jest normalizacja życia pacjentów poprzez osiągnięcie pełnej kontroli nad chorobą.6 Według najnowszych wytycznych WAO/EAACI (World Allergy Organization/European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology), pacjenci powinni rozważyć długoterminową profilaktykę, aby zmniejszyć ryzyko wystąpienia ataków obrzęku.7

Krótkoterminowa profilaktyka obrzęku naczynioruchowego

Krótkoterminowa profilaktyka obrzęku naczynioruchowego koncentruje się na zapobieganiu i minimalizowaniu objawów przed określonymi sytuacjami, które mogą wywołać atak, takimi jak zabiegi chirurgiczne, naruszenie skóry lub błon śluzowych, lub stres.89

Wskazania do krótkoterminowej profilaktyki

Krótkoterminowa profilaktyka jest zalecana przed narażeniem na potencjalny czynnik wyzwalający atak HAE, szczególnie przed:1011

  • Zabiegami stomatologicznymi
  • Inwazyjnymi procedurami medycznymi lub chirurgicznymi
  • Zabiegami w obrębie górnych dróg oddechowych
  • Sytuacjami wiążącymi się ze stresem lub urazem

Leki stosowane w krótkoterminowej profilaktyce

Zgodnie z wytycznymi WAO/EAACI, lekami pierwszego wyboru w krótkoterminowej profilaktyce są:1213

  • Koncentrat inhibitora C1 pochodzenia osoczowego (pd-C1-INH) – stosowany w dawce 15-30 j/kg masy ciała, do 6 godzin przed planowanym zabiegiem (np. Berinert)
  • Jeśli C1-INH nie jest dostępny, można zastosować 17-α-alkilowany androgen (np. danazol, 200 mg 2-3 razy dziennie) przez 5 dni przed zabiegiem i 2-5 dni po zabiegu
  • Świeżo mrożone osocze – w sytuacjach, gdy koncentrat C1-INH nie jest dostępny

Badania wykazały, że krótkoterminowa profilaktyka skutecznie zapobiega atakom po zabiegach stomatologicznych, a leczenie chorób jamy ustnej prowadzi do zmniejszenia częstotliwości ataków obrzęku.14

Długoterminowa profilaktyka obrzęku naczynioruchowego

Długoterminowa profilaktyka (LTP) ma na celu zapobieganie przewlekłym i nawracającym atakom obrzęku i jest wskazana u pacjentów z częstymi atakami wymagającymi leczenia farmakologicznego. Strategia ta obejmuje regularną, ciągłą terapię.1516

Wskazania do długoterminowej profilaktyki

Długoterminowa profilaktyka powinna być rozważona u pacjentów:1718

  • Z częstymi atakami (>1-2 ataki tygodniowo wymagające leczenia)
  • Z ciężkimi atakami w wywiadzie (szczególnie zagrażającymi życiu)
  • Z atakami występującymi częściej niż raz na 3 miesiące
  • Z istotnym obciążeniem chorobą wpływającym na jakość życia
  • Z niewystarczającą kontrolą choroby przy zastosowaniu leczenia doraźnego

Według wytycznych, plany leczenia należy oceniać regularnie, w tym potrzebę leczenia profilaktycznego, a decyzje terapeutyczne powinny być podejmowane wspólnie przez lekarzy i pacjentów.19

Leki pierwszego wyboru w długoterminowej profilaktyce

Wytyczne WAO/EAACI zalecają jako leki pierwszego wyboru w długoterminowej profilaktyce HAE typu 1 i 2:2021

  • Inhibitor C1 pochodzący z osocza (pdC1-INH)
    • Podawany dożylnie (Cinryze) – 1000 j co 3-4 dni
    • Podawany podskórnie (Haegarda, Berinert SC) – wyższa dawka podawana 2 razy w tygodniu
  • Lanadelumab (Takhzyro)humanizowane przeciwciało monoklonalne przeciwko kalikreinie osoczowej
    • Podawany podskórnie co 2 tygodnie w dawce 300 mg w fazie indukcji, później co 4 tygodnie po stabilizacji odpowiedzi terapeutycznej lub po 6 miesiącach, jeśli pacjent jest wolny od ataków
  • Berotralstat (Orladeyo)doustny inhibitor kalikreiny osoczowej
    • Pierwsza doustna opcja profilaktyczna dla HAE, przyjmowana raz dziennie

Skuteczność tych leków w długoterminowej profilaktyce została potwierdzona w badaniach klinicznych, wykazując redukcję częstotliwości ataków HAE nawet o 90%.2223

Leki drugiego wyboru w długoterminowej profilaktyce

Jeśli leki pierwszego wyboru nie są skuteczne lub dobrze tolerowane, można zastosować leki drugiego wyboru:2425

  • Androgeny atenuowane (np. danazol) – zwiększają syntezę inhibitora C1 w wątrobie
    • Ze względu na profil działań niepożądanych, stosowane głównie jako leki drugiej linii
    • Przeciwwskazane u dzieci w okresie wzrostu oraz kobiet w ciąży i karmiących piersią
  • Leki antyfibrynolityczne (np. kwas traneksamowy – Exacyl)
    • Stosowane jako leki drugiej linii, szczególnie u dzieci i kobiet w ciąży
    • Uważane za mniej skuteczne niż androgeny atenuowane

Pacjenci przyjmujący androgeny powinni być rutynowo monitorowani pod kątem nieprawidłowości wątrobowych za pomocą testów funkcji wątroby i badania ultrasonograficznego jamy brzusznej co 6-12 miesięcy.26

Nowe terapie w profilaktyce HAE

Kilka nowych terapii jest w trakcie badań klinicznych lub zostało niedawno zatwierdzonych:2728

  • Garadacimab – nowe, w pełni ludzkie przeciwciało monoklonalne hamujące aktywowany czynnik XII
    • Badanie VANGUARD fazy III wykazało, że podskórne podawanie garadacimabu raz w miesiącu znacząco zmniejszyło liczbę ataków HAE
  • Deucrictibant – badany w tabletce o przedłużonym uwalnianiu jako profilaktyka HAE
  • Terapie genowe – długoterminowym celem jest wyleczenie choroby poprzez manipulację genomem i wstawienie nowego genu SERPING1, który będzie kompensował zmutowany allel

Profilaktyka obrzęku naczynioruchowego w szczególnych grupach pacjentów

Profilaktyka u dzieci

U dzieci z HAE, podejście do profilaktyki wymaga szczególnej uwagi:2930

  • Inhibitor C1 (pd-C1-INH) jest zalecany jako leczenie pierwszego wyboru dla długoterminowej profilaktyki u dzieci powyżej 6 roku życia
  • U dzieci poniżej 12 lat, bezpieczeństwo i skuteczność wykazano dla osoczopochodnego inhibitora C1
  • Androgeny atenuowane są przeciwwskazane u dzieci w okresie wzrostu
  • Leki antyfibrynolityczne mogą być stosowane jako alternatywa, choć ich skuteczność jest uważana za umiarkowaną
  • Dawkowanie pd-C1-INH u dzieci obejmuje: 500 jednostek (dla pacjentów o masie 10-25 kg), 1000 jednostek i 1500 jednostek u pacjentów o masie powyżej 25 kg

Firma BioCryst złożyła wniosek o rozszerzenie wskazań dla produktu ORLADEYO (berotralstat) na dzieci z HAE w wieku 2-11 lat, używając formulacji granulatu doustnego. ORLADEYO byłby pierwszą ukierunkowaną doustną terapią profilaktyczną dla dzieci z HAE.3132

Profilaktyka u kobiet w ciąży

U kobiet w ciąży z HAE zalecane są następujące opcje profilaktyczne:3334

  • Koncentrat inhibitora C1 pochodzenia osoczowego z nanofiltracją jest zalecaną terapią
  • W ostrych epizodach można stosować antagonistę receptora bradykininy (ikatybant), który jest bezpieczny i nie wywołuje niepożądanych skutków u matki i płodu
  • Androgeny atenuowane są przeciwwskazane ze względu na potencjalne działanie teratogenne
  • Kwas traneksamowy może być rozważany jako alternatywa

Niefarmakologiczne metody zapobiegania obrzękowi naczynioruchowemu

Oprócz leczenia farmakologicznego, pacjenci powinni przestrzegać określonych zasad, aby zmniejszyć ryzyko wystąpienia ataków:3536

Unikanie czynników wyzwalających

Dla pacjentów z obrzękiem naczynioruchowym (szczególnie alergicznym) istotne jest:3738

  • Unikanie pokarmów wywołujących reakcje alergiczne lub nietolerancje
  • Zachowanie ostrożności wobec orzechów, takich jak migdały, orzechy włoskie i nerkowce
  • Unikanie niektórych dodatków do żywności, takich jak konserwanty i sztuczne słodziki
  • Ograniczenie spożycia ostrych przypraw i pikantnych sosów
  • Unikanie alkoholu, który może wywoływać epizody obrzęku naczynioruchowego
  • Odstawienie leków wyzwalających ataki (np. inhibitorów ACE, NLPZ)

Modyfikacje stylu życia

Zalecane są następujące zmiany w stylu życia:3940

  • Wybieranie świeżych owoców i warzyw, które nie są znanymi czynnikami wyzwalającymi obrzęk naczynioruchowy
  • Spożywanie chudych białek, takich jak kurczak, ryby i tofu, które rzadziej wywołują reakcje alergiczne
  • Włączenie do diety pełnoziarnistych produktów, takich jak brązowy ryż, quinoa i owies
  • Utrzymanie odpowiedniego nawodnienia przez cały dzień
  • Prowadzenie dziennika spożywanych pokarmów i występujących objawów, co może pomóc w identyfikacji konkretnych czynników wyzwalających
  • Monitorowanie i zarządzanie stresem, który jest znanym czynnikiem wyzwalającym ataki HAE

Edukacja pacjenta i plany postępowania

Skuteczne zarządzanie obrzękiem naczynioruchowym wymaga kompleksowego podejścia do opieki i profilaktyki:4142

Indywidualne plany leczenia

Wszyscy pacjenci z obrzękiem naczynioruchowym powinni mieć opracowany indywidualny plan leczenia i działania, stworzony w ścisłej współpracy z lekarzem, uwzględniający zarówno potrzeby leczenia doraźnego, jak i długoterminowej profilaktyki.4344 Plan taki powinien zawierać:

  • Informacje o lekach stosowanych w profilaktyce
  • Jasne instrukcje i informacje o lekach do zastosowania w przypadku wystąpienia ostrego ataku
  • Dane kontaktowe do personelu medycznego
  • Informacje o czynnikach wyzwalających i jak ich unikać

Leczenie domowe

Domowe zarządzanie profilaktyką HAE i ostrymi atakami staje się coraz ważniejszym elementem opieki nad pacjentami z HAE:4546

  • Dostęp do samodzielnego podawania lub wspomaganego wlewu C1-INH zmniejsza częstotliwość i nasilenie ataków
  • Poprawia jakość życia, zmniejsza absencję chorobową, jest dobrze tolerowany i popularny wśród pacjentów
  • Samo- i domowe leczenie może skrócić czas do leczenia i pozwala na wcześniejsze podanie leku w przypadku ataku
  • Opóźnienia mogłyby spowodować, że atak stanie się bardziej dotkliwy i będzie trwał dłużej po ostatecznym otrzymaniu leku
  • Samo- i domowe leczenie pozwala na większą niezależność i bardziej niezawodne zarządzanie objawami HAE

Amerykańska Rada Doradcza Medyczna HAEA sugeruje, aby każda osoba z HAE prowadziła rejestr swoich profilaktycznych i/lub doraźnych terapii.47

Badania przesiewowe członków rodziny

Członkowie rodziny pacjentów z HAE, w tym rodzeństwo, rodzice, dziadkowie i wnuki, powinni być poddani badaniom przesiewowym w kierunku tego schorzenia.48

Aspekty ekonomiczne i dostęp do leczenia

Leczenie ataków HAE jest bardzo kosztowne, podobnie jak terapie profilaktyczne stosowane w celu zapobiegania takim atakom. Całkowity koszt profilaktyki obejmuje oszczędności poniesione dzięki mniejszej ilości leczenia doraźnego.49

Modele ekonomiczne są bardzo wrażliwe na niewielkie zmiany w założeniach dotyczących częstotliwości ataków, ilości wymaganego leczenia doraźnego i dokładnych schematów dawkowania terapii profilaktycznej. Podobnie, stosunkowo niewielkie zmiany w cenie terapii profilaktycznej znacznie poprawiają jej efektywność kosztową.50

Ubezpieczyciele i producenci powinni współpracować, aby zapewnić odpowiedni dostęp do tych ważnych terapii po cenie, na którą pacjenci i społeczeństwo mogą sobie pozwolić. Rozważania dotyczące efektywności kosztowej i zakresu ubezpieczenia zależą od częstotliwości i intensywności ataków.51

Dostępność wielu opcji leczenia doraźnego i profilaktycznego, które można podawać w domu, znacznie poprawiła jakość życia społeczności HAEA, jednocześnie zmniejszając liczbę wizyt na oddziałach ratunkowych i hospitalizacji.52

Podsumowanie

Profilaktyka obrzęku naczynioruchowego, zarówno krótko- jak i długoterminowa, stanowi kluczowy element kompleksowego podejścia do leczenia pacjentów z tą chorobą, szczególnie z dziedzicznym obrzękiem naczynioruchowym (HAE). Nowoczesne, ukierunkowane terapie profilaktyczne są zalecane dla pacjentów z HAE i pozwalają na znaczne zmniejszenie częstotliwości ataków, poprawę jakości życia i normalizację codziennego funkcjonowania.53

Podejście do profilaktyki powinno być zindywidualizowane, uwzględniające potrzeby, preferencje i styl życia pacjenta. Wspólne podejmowanie decyzji między pacjentem a lekarzem dotyczące odpowiedniej profilaktyki jest kluczowe dla zapewnienia najlepszych wyników dla poszczególnych pacjentów.54

Dostępność licencjonowanych długoterminowych leków profilaktycznych zapobiegających atakom HAE zmienia sposób leczenia HAE i daje większej liczbie pacjentów nadzieję na przyszłość wolną od wyniszczających ataków HAE.55

  • #1 Prevention of Recurrent Attacks of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE): Berotralstat and Its Oral Bioavailability
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10069425/
    Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a condition characterized by episodes of cutaneous and submucosal edema. […] To minimize the difficulties of this pathology and to improve patients quality of life, prevention of this condition is essential. Berotralstat is a unique option for oral administration for routine prophylaxis. This drug acts by binding to kallikrein and reducing its plasma activity, lowering bradykinin levels. […] Clinical guidelines recommend, as a first line therapy for long-term prophylactic treatment of HAE type 1 and 2, plasma-derived C1-INH, lanadelumab, and berotralstat. […] Long-term prophylactic treatment is one of the goals of treatment of HAE. Preventing attacks can decrease complications of an acute attack but also allow patients to have a normal lifestyle. […] Clinical guidelines for long-term prophylaxis in HAE recommend plasma-derived C1-INH, lanadelumab, and berotralstat as first line medications.

    Angioedema treatment mainly aims to control and prevent swelling, or edema, that occurs in the deeper layers of the skin or in mucus membranes. […] While there are a number of different treatment options available, most of them medications, their use depends on many factors, such as the type of angioedema and whether the goal is prevention or on-demand treatment. […] In all forms of angioedema, a key aspect in disease management is taking steps to lower the risk of future swelling attacks. […] For some patients, preventing future angioedema attacks may include resorting to medications that are taken regularly to reduce the risk of swelling. […] The guidelines also suggest that patients should consider long-term prophylactic (preventive) angioedema treatment to reduce the risk of swelling attacks.

    Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a chronic condition which severely impacts those afflicted and is characterized by edema in mucosal and submucosal tissue or in dermal and subcutaneous structures, caused by vasodilatation. […] Due to the severity of impact of symptoms and the risks of an undetected or untreated HAE attack, early detection, diagnosis, and effective prevention or treatment of all attacks are particularly important. […] We will also summarize the current knowledge on symptoms caused by HAE, offer specific tips for early detection in everyday practice, and highlight the key role of long-term prophylaxis and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) as part of optimum management of HAE in line with the updated WAO/EAACI guidelines. […] The most important innovation in the range of HAE treatments, by expert consensus and in accordance with the latest international guidelines on HAE management, is the emphasis on long-term prophylaxis.
  • #5 Management and Prevention of Hereditary Angioedema Attacks
    https://www.ajmc.com/view/ace010_lumry2_s111to18
    Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic syndrome caused by a deficiency in functional C1 inhibitor that results in recurrent episodes of nonpruritic swelling of the hands, feet, arms, legs, trunk, face, genitalia, bowels, and larynx beginning in childhood or adolescence and continuing throughout the patients lifetime. […] Treatment for acute HAE attacks in the United States has been transformed by new therapies that inhibit the underlying mechanisms of angioedema notably ecallantide, a potent and specific inhibitor of plasma kallikrein, and icatibant, a selective bradykinin receptor antagonist. […] This article reviews the current therapeutic landscape for HAE, including treatment for acute angioedema attacks, short- and long-term HAE prophylaxis, and home-based therapy. […] Contemporary medical management of HAE is divided between treatment of swelling attacks, short-term prophylaxis to avoid attacks during times of increased risk (eg, after medical or dental procedures), and long-term prophylaxis to reduce both the frequency and severity of attacks.

    Long-term prophylaxis (LTP) has been shown to reduce the frequency of hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks; however, attacks occurring in patients receiving LTP have not been well characterized. […] LTP agents have been demonstrated to reduce the frequency of HAE attacks. […] The overarching goal of HAE treatment is to normalize patients’ lives by achieving complete disease control. […] This review confirms that a substantial proportion of patients who receive LTP do not achieve the goal of an attack-free status and experience attacks which are unpredictable with regard to severity, anatomical location, and duration. […] Attack-free rates were generally low (45%) in patients who received LTP with IV or SC pdC1INH, berotralstat, danazol, and TA. […] Most attacks that occurred in patients who received LTP were treated with 1 dose of an on-demand therapy, and unrestricted access to effective on-demand therapy remains essential for all people with HAE-C1INH, including patients receiving LTP.

    In the prophylaxis of HAE, we can distinguish between drugs used for both short-term prophylaxis and long-term prevention. The former group includes plasma-derived C1-INH (pd-C1-INH) concentrate (Berinert) and the latter, the human monoclonal antibody, plasma kallikrein inhibitor lanadelumab (Takhzyro) and Ecallantide (Kalbitor). Plasma-derived C1-INH concentrate (Berinert) in Poland for long-term prophylaxis is still an off-label drug. We also have other off-label drugs: tranexamic acid (Exacyl) and a synthetic steroid, an ethinyl-testosterone derivative (Danazol the only androgen derivative preparation available in Poland) […] Short-term prophylaxis for HAE focuses on preventing and minimizing symptoms before specific situations that may trigger an attack, such as surgery, skin or mucosal disruption, or stress. First-line treatment includes the administration of pd-C1-INH at a dose of 15-30 U/kg body weight, up to 6 h before the scheduled surgery.

    Short-term prophylactic therapy is recommended prior to exposure to a potential trigger for an HAE attack, particularly dental work or invasive medical or surgical procedures. […] As shown in Figure 2, plasma-derived C1INH, if readily available, is the preferred short-term preventive therapy for patients with HAE undergoing minor dental manipulation, but pretreatment may be reserved for those in whom dental procedures have previously precipitated an attack. […] If C1INH is not available, 17-a-alkylated anabolic androgen (eg, danazol, 200 mg 2-3 times per day) for 5 days before the procedure and 2 to 5 days after is recommended.

    Long-term prophylaxis is aimed at preventing chronic and recurrent attacks of edema and is indicated in patients with attacks occurring 1-2 per week requiring medication. This strategy involves regular, ongoing therapy, which includes the administration of pd-C1-INH 1-2 times a week, registered in the European Union for intravenous infusion. In first-line treatment, there is also lanadelumab registered in the EU and used at a dose of 300 mg twice a month. […] The treatment plan should be tailored to the individual patient’s needs, with drug selection and dosage closely monitored by a specialist to minimize side effects and ensure optimal disease control. Long-term prophylaxis can significantly reduce the frequency and severity of attacks, allowing patients to lead more normal and active lives. Recent research and development of new therapies help to further expand treatment options, offering HAE patients increasingly better control over their condition.

    According to the efficacy of available treatments that allow the efficient management of attacks or reduce the frequency of attacks in long-term prophylaxis, but cannot offer complete disease control or normalize patients’ lives, there are some unmet needs that can be met with new drugs. For this reason, several pharmaceutical companies are actively developing new therapeutic options for HAE patients. […] Long-term prophylaxis (LTP) consists of prophylactic treatment, and involves ongoing or maintenance treatment with the objective of reducing the occurrence, intensity, and duration of HAE attacks. […] The authors of the international WAO/EAACI guideline recommend that long-term prophylaxis (LTP) should be considered when patients experience significant life events that are linked to heightened disease activity. The 2021 revision and update highlight the importance of complete control of the disease, with the aim of normalizing patients’ lives.

    Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by repetitive subcutaneous or submucosal angioedema, activation of the kinin system, and increased vascular permeability. Although androgens are not approved for HAE treatment in many countries, they are widely used in China and Brazil to reduce the frequency and severity of HAE attacks. The ultimate goals of HAE treatment are to achieve total control of the disease and improve patient quality of life (QoL). Androgens have been widely used as long-term prophylaxis treatment for HAE patients in many countries, such as Brazil and China. Indeed, androgens are the most widely used long-term prophylaxis treatment in Brazil, where major adverse effects associated with continued administration of high-dosage androgen treatment are hepatotoxicity and virilization. Previous studies demonstrated that danazol can reduce the frequency and severity of HAE attacks. The shortcomings of androgen use in HAE were also reported in several population-based studies. Considering these findings, it could be speculated that some adverse effects of androgens were related to variations in treatment methods and/or the severity of disease in HAE patients. Androgens and antifibrinolytic agents are the main preventive treatment for long-term prophylaxis in Brazil and China. However, in consideration of the adverse effects of androgen treatment and need to improve patient QoL, androgens are no longer the first treatment choice recommended by guidelines in the global consensus. Currently, the recommended treatment option for long-term prevention of attacks in children (12 years) is C1-INH concentrate and lanadelumab. Therefore, patients with HAE who are administered androgens long term should have regular physical examinations to adjust their medication regimen. Alternative options might be considered in certain cases, such as C1-INH concentrate for pregnant women, or C1-INH concentrate and lanadelumab for adolescents (12 years).

  • #44 Current and Emerging Therapies to Prevent Hereditary Angioedema Attacks
    https://www.ajmc.com/view/current-and-emerging-therapies-to-prevent-hae-attacks
    Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disease defined by recurrent attacks of edema, causing a substantial burden for patients, with morbidity, mortality, and reduced quality of life. Several novel therapeutics have recently been approved or are currently under evaluation for prevention of HAE attacks. Therapy for HAE can be generally divided into 2 approaches, acute (or on-demand) treatment of attacks and prevention of attacks, which is broken down into short-term prophylaxis (STP) and long-term prophylaxis (LTP). The 2017 revision and update to the international World Allergy Organization (WAO)/European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) guideline for the management of HAE provides evidence-based recommendations for both of these approaches. C1-INH replacement can be used for either treatment or prevention of attacks. In 2017, the pdC1-INH agent (Haegarda) was approved by the FDA for prophylaxis of HAE in adolescent and adult patients. This is the second agent approved for HAE prophylaxis and the first C1-INH for SC administration. The WAO/EAACI guideline recommends that all patients undergoing any medical, surgical, or dental procedure involving any mechanical impact to the upper aerodigestive tract receive C1-INH as preprocedural prophylaxis as close as possible to the start of the procedure. LTP should be considered in patients when HAE is particularly burdensome. Successful treatment requires a high degree of compliance, so LTP therapy must be individualized based on disease activity, frequency of attacks, patients quality of life, availability of healthcare resources, failure to achieve adequate control through use of on-demand treatments, and patient preference. The WAO/EAACI guideline recommends C1-INH currently available in both IV and SC formulations as first-line therapy for LTP if available. A key factor that should be considered when prescribing therapy for HAE is route of administration. Whether acute or prophylactic treatment, route of administration can affect patient satisfaction with treatment, which ultimately impacts compliance. The clinical, economic, and quality-of-life burden to patients with HAE is substantial. Treatment plans must be individualized in partnership among the patient, family, and physician in order to achieve optimal outcomes. According to the Hereditary Angioedema Association Medical Advisory Board and WAO/EAACI guidelines, individualized treatment plans should address preventive measures, home care, and self-administration. An emergency plan with clear instructions and medications to use should be included for, if, and when an acute attack occurs.

  • #48 Management and Prevention of Hereditary Angioedema Attacks
    https://www.ajmc.com/view/ace010_lumry2_s111to18
    Home-based management of HAE prophylaxis and acute attacks is becoming an increasingly important component of the care of patients with HAE, and is now formally endorsed by international consensus documents. […] Access to self-administered or assisted infusion of C1INH reduces the frequency and severity of attacks, improves quality of life, reduces sick time, is well tolerated, and is popular with patients. […] Good health practices and preventive care should also be incorporated into every HAE management plan. […] Finally, family members of patients with HAE, including siblings, parents, grandparents, and grandchildren, should be screened for the condition.

    Treatment for HAE attacks is very expensive, as are the prophylactic therapies used to prevent such attacks, and so the overall cost of prophylaxis includes the savings incurred from less on-demand treatment. […] The economic models produced for this report were very sensitive to small changes in assumptions about the frequency of attacks, the amount of on-demand treatment required, and the exact dosing regimens of prophylactic therapy. […] Similarly, relatively small changes in the price of prophylactic therapy greatly improved its cost-effectiveness. […] Insurers and manufacturers should work together to achieve appropriate access to these important therapies at a price that patients and society can afford. […] Cost-effectiveness and coverage considerations hinge on the frequency and intensity of attacks.

    The availability of multiple on-demand and prophylaxis treatment options that can be administered at home has significantly increased the HAEA community’s quality of life while decreasing emergency room visits and hospitalizations. […] The US HAEA Medical Advisory Board recommends that all people with HAE due to C1-Inhibitor deficiency should have access to at least two standard doses of a medication proven effective in treating HAE attacks. […] Self and home administration can reduce the time to treatment and allows medication to be given earlier in an attack. Delays could allow an attack to become more severe and take longer to resolve once medication is finally received. Self and home treatment allows for greater independence and more reliable management of HAE symptoms. […] The US HAEA Medical Advisory Board suggests that everyone with HAE keep a record of their prophylaxis and/or on-demand treatments.

    Two of the recommended prophylactic medications are injectable. […] Berotralstat is the first oral prophylactic for HAE to be licenced and is a selective inhibitor of plasma kallikrein. […] Our real-world data from UK centres confirms that prophylaxis improves quality of life for most patients by reducing the number of HAE attacks and their severity, confirms Kiani, who emphasises the importance of ensuring management plans are discussed and agreed with patients to support their needs, preferences, and lifestyle. […] Shared decision-making between the patient and physician on appropriate prophylaxis is vital to ensure the best outcomes for individual patients with different preferences and quality of life goals, Kiani asserts. […] The availability of licenced long-term prophylactic treatments to prevent HAE attacks is changing the way HAE is treated, and is giving more patients hope for a future free from debilitating HAE attacks.
