ABSTRACT
Hereditary angioedema is characterized by recurrent and unpredictable episodes of subcutaneous and mucosal swelling that can be life threatening. IONIS-PKK-LRx is a ligand-conjugated antisense oligonucleotide designed for receptor-mediated delivery to hepatocytes. In a compassionate-use pilot study, two patients with severe bradykinin-mediated angioedema were initially administered weekly subcutaneous injections of the unconjugated parent drug, IONIS-PKKRx, for 12 to 16 weeks, after which they received IONIS-PKK-LRx at a dose of 80 mg every 3 to 4 weeks for 7 to 8 months. Treatment was accompanied by a reduction in the angioedema attack rate. (Funded by Amsterdam UMC.).
