KalVista Pharmaceuticals Awarded UK Innovation Passport for Sebetralstat

Provides entry to UK Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway (ILAP), which aims to accelerate time to market and facilitate patient access to innovative medicines

Late-breaking sebetralstat phase 3 data to be presented at the upcoming 2024 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Annual Meeting

KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: KALV), a clinical stage pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of oral, small molecule protease inhibitors, today announced the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has awarded the Innovation Passport for sebetralstat, an investigational novel, oral plasma kallikrein inhibitor for the on-demand treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE). The Innovation Passport is the first step in the UK’s Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway (ILAP), which is designed to accelerate a product’s time to market and facilitate patient access to innovative medicines.

“As a company which has its roots in the UK, we are pleased to receive the ILAP designation, which will enable us to further accelerate our regulatory submission for sebetralstat,” said Andrew Crockett, Chief Executive Officer of KalVista. “We look forward to collaborating with the MHRA and other health regulatory agencies worldwide as we continue to work towards bringing the first oral, on demand treatment to people living with HAE.”

KalVista recently provided topline phase 3 data for sebetralstat, which displayed clinically and statistically significant results across all endpoints, and an excellent safety and tolerability profile. The Company will be presenting late-breaking KONFIDENT trial data on February 25, 2024, at the upcoming American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) Annual Meeting.

About the Innovation Passport

Delivered in partnership by the All Wales Therapeutics and Toxicology Centre (AWTTC), the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC), the Innovation Passport prioritizes innovative medicines in development for the treatment of diseases for patients with significant unmet need. Benefits of the ILAP include opportunities for enhanced regulatory and other stakeholder access with the aim of accelerating the time it takes for a product to reach the market, thereby boosting patients’ access to innovative medicines.
