Donidalorsen delivered significant and sustained reductions in HAE attacks, with high levels of disease control and improvement in quality of life measures with monthly or every two-month dosing; continued attack rate reduction over time In first-of-its-kind prospective analysis, patients switching from prior prophylactic treatment to donidalorsen experienced further reductions in mean monthly HAE attack rates from baseline Donidalorsen demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile across all cohorts Data to be presented today at EAACI Congress 2024 Ionis to host webcast on Friday, May 31 at 8:00am ET CARLSBAD, Calif., May 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: IONS) today announced positive results from the Phase 3 OASIS-HAE and OASISplus studies of donidalorsen in patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE) demonstrating significant and sustained reduction in mean monthly HAE attack rates and continued attack rate improvement of >90% with one year of treatment for both monthly or every two-month dosing. Patients who switched to donidalorsen from prior prophylactic treatment also showed 62% further reduction in mean monthly HAE attack rates from baseline, and 84% of patients who switched reported a preference for donidalorsen. Donidalorsen had a favorable safety and tolerability profile across both studies, including when self-administered via an auto-injector. Results will be presented in three late-breaking oral presentations at the 2024 European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Annual Congress in Valencia, Spain. Based on these data, Ionis is pursuing regulatory approval of donidalorsen as a potential treatment for HAE. HAE is a rare and potentially life-threatening genetic condition that involves recurrent attacks of severe swelling (angioedema) in various parts of the body, including the hands, feet, genitals, stomach, face and/or throat. Donidalorsen is an investigational RNA-targeted prophylactic medicine designed to reduce the production of prekallikrein (PKK), interrupting the pathway that leads to HAE attacks. "We're delighted by the results from the OASIS clinical program, which we believe position donidalorsen to advance the prophylactic treatment paradigm for people living with HAE. Despite currently available therapies, people living with HAE still face significant disease burden and new prophylactic treatments are needed," said Brett Monia, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Ionis. "These data underscore the potential of donidalorsen to continually improve HAE attack rates and quality of life over time, positioning donidalorsen as an attractive potential treatment option. In our prospective switch cohort, patients switched to donidalorsen from another prophylactic without increased breakthrough attacks and achieved greater disease control. In fact, a majority of patients who switched reported a preference for donidalorsen. We thank the patients, families and clinicians who participated in these important studies. Based on these results, Ionis will pursue regulatory approval for donidalorsen, and we look forward to launching it as part of our growing independent commercial pipeline, if approved." OASIS-HAE Study Results In the Phase 3 OASIS-HAE study, patients with HAE were treated with donidalorsen (80 mg) via subcutaneous injection every four weeks (Q4W) (n=45) or every eight weeks (Q8W) (n=23), or placebo (n=22), over 24 weeks. The study met its primary endpoint, demonstrating 81% lower monthly HAE attack rate with donidalorsen Q4W compared to placebo over weeks one to 25 (p<0.001), and 55% reduction with Q8W (p=0.004). In weeks five to 25, donidalorsen Q4W significantly reduced mean monthly HAE attack rates by 87% (p<0.001) compared to placebo, a key secondary endpoint. In the same time frame, treatment with donidalorsen Q4W reduced severe to moderate attacks per month by 89% (p<0.001). Donidalorsen Q4W also reduced HAE attacks that require acute therapy by 92% (p<0.001). At week 25, 91% of donidalorsen Q4W patients were well-controlled as measured by the Angioedema Control Test (AECT). Donidalorsen resulted in clinically significant improvement in quality of life as measured by the Angioedema Quality of Life Questionnaire (AE-QoL). Donidalorsen Q8W had a similar benefit as Q4W dosing over time on attack rate reduction and quality of life measures. Donidalorsen was well-tolerated, with no serious treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) related to donidalorsen. Most adverse events (AEs) were mild or moderate in severity, and injection site reactions were the most common AE. One patient in the donidalorsen Q8W group discontinued based on investigator recommendation due to patient noncompliance and a TEAE. OASISplus Study Results – Open-Label Extension and Switch The OASISplus study included an open-label extension (OLE) cohort and a first-of-its-kind prospective cohort to assess patients switching from both newer oral and injectable long-term prophylactic treatments to donidalorsen. Open-Label Extension Cohort Following completion of the placebo-controlled treatment period in OASIS-HAE, 94% of eligible patients enrolled in the OLE cohort. Participants continued to receive treatment with donidalorsen via subcutaneous injection dosed every four weeks (n=69) or every eight weeks (n=14). As of the February 28, 2024 data cut: Attack rates continued to improve over time, resulting in 93% and 92% improvement from baseline measured at the start of OASIS-HAE across Q4W and Q8W, respectively. Extended treatment resulted in further improved quality of life measures and high levels of disease control. At week 25, 91% (Q4W) and 100% (Q8W) of patients reported well-controlled disease as measured by the AECT. AE-QoL scores improved by 28 points (Q4W) and 24 points (Q8W) at week 25 compared to baseline in OASIS-HAE. An improvement of 6 points is considered clinically meaningful. Safety results were consistent with findings from OASIS-HAE, with no serious safety concerns and no patient discontinuations. Switch Cohort The OASISplus switch cohort evaluated the safety and efficacy of long-term dosing of donidalorsen every four weeks in patients (n=64) who were previously treated with another prophylactic HAE medication (lanadelumab, berotralstat or C1-esterase inhibitor) for at least 12 weeks prior to entering the study. Patients followed a pre-defined specific protocol to transition from their prior therapy to donidalorsen. Results from a pre-defined endpoint of 17 weeks indicate: Patients switched to donidalorsen from prior prophylactic treatment without an increase in breakthrough attacks. Patients experienced a 62% further improvement in mean monthly HAE attack rate compared to baseline for previous prophylactic treatment. 84% of patients who switched reported a preference for donidalorsen over their previous treatment, citing better disease control, less time to administer, and less injection site pain or reactions.1 Quality of life measures also showed continued improvement, with 93% of patients reporting well-controlled disease compared to 67% at baseline with prior prophylactic treatment. Results also demonstrated ≥8-point improvement in AE-QoL scores. Safety results were consistent with findings from OASIS-HAE, with no serious safety concerns. One patient discontinued due to TEAE not related to donidalorsen. "People living with HAE are facing a lifelong battle, and I see that impact firsthand in my practice. It's critical for treatment options to have lasting, durable efficacy," said Marc Riedl, M.D., M.S. clinical director, U.S. HAEA Angioedema Center; clinical service chief, Division of Allergy & Immunology, University of California, San Diego. "The OASISplus study demonstrated patients are able to change therapy to donidalorsen without the risk of increased breakthrough HAE attacks while continuing to improve in measures of quality of life and disease control." "The comprehensive OASIS clinical program demonstrates how donidalorsen can potentially address key concerns patients may experience with currently available treatment options," said Kenneth Newman, M.D., senior vice president of clinical development at Ionis. "Donidalorsen significantly reduced HAE attack rates, and with the simplicity of monthly or every two-month self-administration via autoinjector, we believe that donidalorsen has a unique profile that may address the needs of people with HAE." Ionis plans to file a New Drug Application this year with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), marking progress toward the goal of launching our second wholly owned medicine. Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., which has exclusive rights to commercialize donidalorsen in Europe, is also preparing to submit a Marketing Authorization Application to the European Medicines Agency this year.

About the OASIS-HAE Study The global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 OASIS-HAE study (NCT05139810) enrolled 91 participants, age 12 and above, with HAE-1 and HAE-2 hereditary angioedema. Participants were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive donidalorsen (80mg) or placebo via subcutaneous injection once every four weeks for 24 weeks or donidalorsen (80mg) or placebo via subcutaneous injection once every eight weeks for 24 weeks. Within each cohort, participants were randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive donidalorsen or matching-placebo. The primary endpoint was the time-normalized number of investigator-confirmed HAE attacks from week one to week 25 compared to placebo. Following completion of the treatment period, 94% of eligible patients entered the Phase 3 OASISplus open-label extension study. About the OASISplus Study The Phase 3 OASISplus open-label extension (OLE) study is a 53-week global, multicenter study of subcutaneous injections of donidalorsen administered every four weeks (80mg) and every eight weeks (80mg) in patients completing the OASIS-HAE study. These are patients aged 12 and above, with HAE-1 and HAE-2 hereditary angioedema. The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of extended dosing of donidalorsen following completion of the Phase 3 OASIS-HAE study. The OASISplus switch cohort is evaluating the safety and efficacy of long-term dosing of donidalorsen every four weeks in patients who were previously treated with another prophylactic HAE medication. Additional information about OASISplus (NCT04307381) may be found at ClinicalTrials.gov. About Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) HAE is a rare and potentially life-threatening genetic condition that involves recurrent attacks of severe swelling (angioedema) in various parts of the body, including the hands, feet, genitals, stomach, face and/or throat.2,3,4,5,6 HAE is estimated to affect more than 20,000 patients in the U.S. and Europe.7 In the U.S., doctors frequently use prophylactic treatment approaches to prevent and reduce the severity of HAE attacks in patients. About Donidalorsen Donidalorsen is an investigational LIgand- Conjugated Antisense (LICA) medicine designed to target prekallikrein (PKK), which plays an important role in activating inflammatory mediators associated with acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE). By reducing the production of PKK, donidalorsen could be an effective prophylactic approach to preventing HAE attacks. About Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Feb. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: BCRX) today announced new analyses of real-world use of oral, once-daily ORLADEYO® (berotralstat) that showed patients who initiated ORLADEYO experienced rapid, substantial and sustained reductions in attack rates through 18 months of treatment regardless of the severity of their disease, their history of prior prophylaxis or their C1-inhibitor (C1-INH) level and function. The data are being presented in five posters at the 2024 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) annual meeting, which is being held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C., from February 23-26, 2024. “These additional analyses of real-world use of ORLADEYO show that any person living with HAE has the potential to experience a rapid, substantial and sustained reduction in their monthly attack rate with ORLADEYO. From patients who live with severe disease to well-controlled patients and those who have a history of being treated with other long-term prophylaxis that carry a therapeutic burden, these data demonstrate that once patients begin oral, once-daily ORLADEYO, they can experience attack control over the duration of their treatment,” said Jonathan Bernstein, M.D., professor of medicine, department of internal medicine, division of allergy & immunology at the University of Cincinnati and partner of the Bernstein Allergy Group and Bernstein Clinical Research Center. Rapid, Substantial and Sustained HAE Attack Rate Reduction After Beginning ORLADEYO Across Multiple Patient Types Three posters (#012; #008; #281) highlight data collected through BioCryst’s sole-source pharmacy that show real-world effectiveness outcomes for patients aged 12 and above with HAE who initiated ORLADEYO in the United States. These analyses present the overall attack rate progression and attack rate progression stratified by severity (i.e., number of attacks at baseline), prior prophylaxis and C1-INH level and function. “We are continuing to see strong disease control with ORLADEYO in the real world, including in patients with HAE who report differing baseline disease severities. These findings further demonstrate that ORLADEYO can help maintain disease control in patients with lower baseline attack rates and further reduce attack rates in patients with more active disease. We continue to be encouraged by the consistent, building body of real-world evidence demonstrating the significant benefit that our oral, once-daily prophylactic therapy can provide to people living with HAE,” said Dr. Ryan Arnold, chief medical officer of BioCryst. Berotralstat Prophylaxis Reduces HAE Attack Rates Regardless of Baseline Attacks: Real-World Outcomes; Poster #012; Friday, February 23, 3:15-4:15 p.m. ET Patients with C1-INH deficiency who received long-term prophylaxis with ORLADEYO achieved rapid reduction in patient-reported monthly HAE attack rates from baseline, regardless of the severity of their disease (n=335).Median attack rates decreased below baseline (1.33 median monthly attack rate) in the first 90 days of ORLADEYO treatment and remained below baseline across all additional 90-day intervals for up to 18 months (540 days) (0.50 median monthly attack rate).Additionally, when stratified by baseline attacks, median monthly attack rates decreased and remained below baseline for up to 540 days on ORLADEYO regardless of their attack rate at baseline. This was observed across patients who reported a 90-day baseline of 0 attacks (0 attacks/month at all time points except for 0.33 at Days 271-360) to those who reported a 90-day baseline of ≥10 attacks (>3.33 attacks/month at baseline to 1.58 attacks/month at Days 1-90, concluding at 1.50 attacks/month at Days 451-540). Consistently Low Hereditary Angioedema Attack Rates with Berotralstat Regardless of Prior Prophylaxis: Real-World Outcomes; Poster #008; Friday, February 23, 3:15-4:15 p.m. ET Patients who initiated ORLADEYO and were previously on at least one other prophylactic therapy at some point during their lifetime (n=216) also experienced rapid, substantial and sustained reductions in HAE attack rates regardless of prior prophylactic therapy, including lanadelumab, subcutaneous (SC) C1-INH and androgens.Of note, the median monthly attack rate for patients who were previously treated with lanadelumab decreased from 1.00 at baseline (n=66) to 0.33 at Days 1-90 (n=71) after initiating ORLADEYO and remained below baseline through Days 451-540 (0.50; n=21). Real-World Effectiveness of Berotralstat in HAE With and Without C1-Inhibitor Deficiency; Poster #281; Saturday, February 24, 9:45-10:45 a.m. ET Similarly, a reduction in monthly HAE attack rates was observed in patients with HAE who have normal C1-INH level and function (n=302) and those with C1-INH deficiency (n=402) upon initiating ORLADEYO.Patients with normal C1-INH had a median attack rate at baseline of 3.00 attacks/month (n=249), which was reduced to 1.00 at Days 1-90 (n=277) and remained below baseline through Days 451-540 (1.50; n=79), while patients with C1-INH deficiency had a median attack rate at baseline of 1.33 attacks/month (n=335), which was reduced to and remained at 0.50 through Days 451-540 (n=119). Methods These posters highlight outcomes collected through BioCryst’s sole-source pharmacy and include patients who actively received ORLADEYO 110 or 150 mg QD from December 16, 2020 to June 15, 2023.Patient-reported attack rates were collected at baseline and at each refill (approximately every 30 days).The baseline 30-day average was calculated based on each patient’s self-reported attack rate for the 90 days prior to initiating ORLADEYO and by dividing that value by three.Monthly attack rates were calculated by taking the average of the reported attacks across each 90-day period.Not all patients reported a baseline attack rate or attack rates during each 90-day period. Real-world Data from French Cohorts Support Safety, Effectiveness and Adherence to ORLADEYO Two additional posters (#028; #023) highlight findings from real-world studies in patients with HAE aged 12 and above in France, including an observational study (BeroLife) and the ongoing prospective MATCH study (Monitoring HAE Treatment Compliance by the community pHarmacist). “These new findings from the BeroLife and MATCH studies indicate an association between adherence to therapy and effectiveness of ORLADEYO. Of note, the results from MATCH show that the number of patients who had high adherence to ORLADEYO after one month of treatment was comparable to the adherence rate among patients who take medications for chronic diseases in France, but this number increased the longer they remained on treatment. Additionally, patients who participated in these studies had a low discontinuation rate, which supports our previously reported findings that the longer patients remain on ORLADEYO, the better their outcomes are,” continued Dr. Ryan Arnold. Assessment of the Tolerability and Effectiveness of Berotralstat for Long-term Prophylaxis in Hereditary Angioedema: BeroLife Study Interim Analysis; Poster #028; Friday, February 23, 3:15-4:15 p.m. ET An interim analysis that shows long-term prophylaxis with ORLADEYO was generally well tolerated and safety was consistent with what has previously been reported from clinical trials. Only 15.6 percent (n=10) experienced a drug-related treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE), and fewer than 10 percent discontinued ORLADEYO due to a TEAE (n=6).From an effectiveness standpoint, this analysis shows a decrease in HAE attack rates among patients, the majority of whom had already been treated with previous long-term prophylaxis such as attenuated androgens, tranexamic acid and lanadelumab, which is consistent with what was observed in clinical trials with long-term prophylaxis with ORLADEYO. Final data from the BeroLife study are expected later this year. Evaluation of Adherence to Berotralstat in Patients with Hereditary Angioedema: A Prospective Survey in Community Pharmacies; Poster #023; Friday, February 23, 3:15-4:15 p.m. ET An association between adherence and effectiveness of ORLADEYO was observed when taken by patients who received follow-up engagements from a pharmacist each month for six months (n=23).No association was found between adherence to ORLADEYO and the incidence of adverse events. Additionally, no serious drug-related TEAEs occurred and only 12.8 percent of patients (n=6) discontinued treatment during the study. Methods The BeroLife study assesses the safety and effectiveness of ORLADEYO 150 mg QD in a French cohort of patients ages 12 years and older with HAE Type I or Type II (n=64). Data were collected by 18 physician investigators associated with the Reference Centre for Angioedema (CREAK) Expert Network in France from November 2021 to May 2023.The MATCH study assesses the impact of monthly follow-up and therapeutic monitoring by community pharmacists in France on patient adherence to ORLADEYO 150 mg QD (n=47). Adherence is measured using the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8), a validated method of determining adherence to treatment through a self-reported measurement of medication-taking behavior. All posters are available to meeting registrants and will be on display in the poster hall in the Walter E. Washington Convention Center (Level 2, Hall D) during the meeting. About ORLADEYO® (berotralstat)ORLADEYO® (berotralstat) is the first and only oral therapy designed specifically to prevent attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older. One capsule of ORLADEYO per day works to prevent HAE attacks by decreasing the activity of plasma kallikrein. U.S. Indication and Important Safety Information INDICATIONORLADEYO® (berotralstat) is a plasma kallikrein inhibitor indicated for prophylaxis to prevent attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in adults and pediatric patients 12 years and older. Limitations of useThe safety and effectiveness of ORLADEYO for the treatment of acute HAE attacks have not been established. ORLADEYO should not be used for the treatment of acute HAE attacks. Additional doses or dosages of ORLADEYO higher than 150 mg once daily are not recommended due to the potential for QT prolongation. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION An increase in QT prolongation was observed at dosages higher than the recommended 150 mg once-daily dosage and was concentration dependent. The most common adverse reactions (≥10% and higher than placebo) in patients receiving ORLADEYO were abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, back pain, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. A reduced dosage of 110 mg taken orally once daily with food is recommended in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B or C). Berotralstat is a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein. P-gp inducers (eg, rifampin, St. John’s wort) may decrease berotralstat plasma concentration, leading to reduced efficacy of ORLADEYO. The use of P-gp inducers is not recommended with ORLADEYO. ORLADEYO at a dose of 150 mg is a moderate inhibitor of CYP2D6 and CYP3A4. For concomitant medications with a narrow therapeutic index that are predominantly metabolized by CYP2D6 or CYP3A4, appropriate monitoring and dose titration is recommended. ORLADEYO at a dose of 300 mg is a P-gp inhibitor. Appropriate monitoring and dose titration is recommended for P-gp substrates (eg, digoxin) when coadministering with ORLADEYO. The safety and effectiveness of ORLADEYO in pediatric patients <12 years of age have not been established. There are insufficient data available to inform drug-related risks with ORLADEYO use in pregnancy. There are no data on the presence of berotralstat in human milk, its effects on the breastfed infant, or its effects on milk production.
