Background
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks can greatly affect a person’s quality of life. Current guidelines aim for full control of the condition, helping patients live more normal lives.
What is Garadacimab?
Garadacimab is a treatment that has shown promise in reducing the number of HAE attacks. This information comes from studies showing its effectiveness over time.
Study Overview
In a long-term study, patients aged 12 and older received garadacimab once a month. Some were new to this treatment, while others had used it before.
Measuring Quality of Life
Patients completed surveys to measure how HAE affected their lives. These surveys included:
- Angioedema Quality of Life (AE-QoL)
- Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM II)
- Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI:GH)
Results
In total, 161 patients participated in the study. Here are some key findings:
- The AE-QoL score improved significantly for patients new to garadacimab, with 92.1% meeting important improvement levels.
- For those with previous exposure, 81.6% either maintained or improved their scores.
- Patients reported higher satisfaction with treatment from the start, which continued for a year.
- Work productivity also improved alongside quality of life.
Conclusion
Garadacimab has led to meaningful improvements in the quality of life and work productivity for patients with HAE. This treatment helps them move towards better disease control and a more normal life.
