Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Recommended Dosage : one dose of 600 mg (2 tablets) taken orally at the earliest recognition of an HAE attack. ( 2.1 ) A second dose of 600 mg (2 tablets) may be taken 3 hours after the first dose if response is inadequate, or if symptoms worsen or recur. ( 2.1 ) Maximum Recommended Dosage: 1,200 mg in any 24-hour period. ( 2.1 ) See full prescribing information for dosage modification for concomitant use with CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers. ( 2.2 ) See full prescribing information for recommended dosage for patients with hepatic impairment. ( 2.3 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of EKTERLY is one dose of 600 mg (two tablets) orally at the earliest recognition of an acute HAE attack.
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reaction (incidence ≥2%) is headache. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1-855-258-4782 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety of EKTERLY is based on data from a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, three-way, crossover clinical trial (KONFIDENT) [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . In KONFIDENT, a total of 110 patients aged 12 years and older with HAE treated 264 attacks.
Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors : Avoid use with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. In patients taking moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors, take one dose of 300 mg. A second dose of 300 mg may be taken at least 3 hours after the first dose if response is inadequate, or if symptoms worsen or recur. ( 2.2 , 7.1 , 12.3 ) CYP3A4 Inducers : Avoid use with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inducers. ( 2.2 , 7.1 , 12.3 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on EKTERLY Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors Avoid use of EKTERLY with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Sebetralstat is a substrate of CYP3A4. Concomitant use of sebetralstat with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increases sebetralstat exposure, which may increase the risk of sebetralstat adverse reactions.
