TAKHZYRO is an effective medication clinically proven to significantly reduce HAE attacks, with many patients achieving prolonged periods of ZERO attacks.1-3 (n=212, 81.8% pts attack free for ≥6 months & 68.9% pts attack free for ≥12 months).

Primary efficacy end point was the number of investigator-confirmed attacks of hereditary angioedema over the treatment period.2
Convenient administration for patients
TAKHZYRO is a subcutaneous injection which can be self-administered using a pre-filled syringe (recommended starting dose 300 mg Q2W).1 Icon
Generally acceptable tolerability profile
The most common adverse reactions with TAKHZYRO were injection-site reactions, of which 90% resolved within 1 day, with a median duration of 6 minutes.1* Other common adverse reactions were hypersensitivity, dizziness, rash maculo-palpular, myalgia, Alanine aminotransferase increased and Aspartate aminotransferase increases were observed.1 Icon
Improved patient QoL
TAKHZYRO can improve patient QoL, with a clinically meaningful improvement in AE-QoL in both HELP-03* and HELP OLE.1-3 Icon
HELP-03: The mean change in AE-QoL total score from baseline for TAKHZYRO 300 mg Q2W was -20 vs -5 with placebo.‡1,2
HELP OLE: The mean change in AE-QoL total score from baseline was -10 and -20 for rollovers and nonrollovers, respectively.3

TAKHZYRO can be self-administered or administered by a caregiver only after training on subcutaneous injection technique by a healthcare professional.1 Training on the subcutaneous injection technique can be initiated at home by a homecare nurse rather than in clinic.
*The HELP-03 study was an international, randomised, double-blind, Phase 3 study of 125 patients with HAE over 26 weeks. Patients were randomised to receive TAKHZYRO 300 mg Q2W (n=27), TAKHZYRO 300 mg Q4W (n=29), TAKHZYRO 150 mg Q4W (n=28) or placebo (n=41).2
† The HELP OLE study was a Phase 3 open-label extension to the HELP-03 study, consisting of patients who completed the randomised, double-blind study (rollovers) and additional patients who were not part of the HELP-03 study (non-rollovers). All patients received open-label TAKHZYRO 300 mg Q2W over a mean treatment period of 29.6 months (range 1.4–34.2 months), followed by a 4-week safety follow-up before discharge from the study. The primary endpoint of HELP OLE was to evaluate long-term safety of repeated TAKHZYRO dosing.3
‡All data are least squares (LS) mean change from baseline to Week 26 across TAKHZYRO treatment arms vs placebo.1 These findings are tertiary endpoint analyses and therefore require further investigation to corroborate the findings.
