摘要
Introduction: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) due to C1 inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency is a debilitating and potentially lethal disease. Management includes on-demand treatment of angioedema and their prophylaxis. Plasma derived C1-INH is an established treatment for both on demand and prophylaxis of HAE. Conestat alfa is a recombinant form of human C1-INH (rhC1-INH) produced in transgenic rabbits. It has granted drug's registration as treatment option for acute HAE attacks in adults and adolescents in Europe, America, and other countries. Long-term prophylaxis with rhC1-INH received recent consideration in clinical trials. Areas covered: This review will critically appraise available information about rhC1-INH (conestat alfa) prophylactic treatment in adult and adolescent patients with congenital C1-INH deficiency. Results from a phase II randomized placebo-controlled trial for prophylaxis of severe HAE evidenced positive treatment outcomes for its application, both twice or once weekly. Expert commentary: Phase II clinical studies suggest that rhC1-INH is a viable option for prophylaxis of HAE. Safety and tolerability data are comparable to other available HAE specific drugs, zeroing the possibility for blood-born viral transmission. Sustainability of modern technologies is granting a practically stable and continuous recombinant production process. With other available options, rhC1-INH facilitates tailoring HAE treatment to patients' needs.
