We will review the information that you have provided to determine whether you are eligible for patient assistance.

What is Kalbitor?

Kalbitor is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Dyax Corp., a Takeda company. It is a plasma kallikrein inhibitor indicated for the treatment of acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in patients 12 years of age and older.

HAE is caused by a mutation of the C1-inhibitor gene. Defective or missing C1-inhibitor permits activation of kallikrein thought to cause the symptoms seen during an acute attack of HAE. Symptoms of HAE include rapid swelling and pain of the hands, feet, limbs, face, tongue, or throat. When attacks involve the intestines, symptoms may include abdominal pain/cramps, diarrhea, or vomiting.

The safety and effectiveness of Kalbitor in pediatric patients less than 12 years of age have not been established

What doses of Kalbitor are available?

Kalbitor is available as single-use glass vials containing 10 mg/mL of ecallantide as a solution for injection.

Give 30 mg (3 mL) subcutaneously in three 10 mg (1 mL) injections. If an attack persists, an additional dose of 30 mg may be given within a 24-hour period. Kalbitor should only be given by a healthcare professional with appropriate medical support to manage anaphylaxis and hereditary angioedema.

See the full prescribing information for the complete boxed warning. Also, read the medication guide for additional information, and always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
