The swelling can be debilitating and painful.4 Attacks that obstruct the airways can cause asphyxiation and are potentially life threatening.5 HAE affects an estimated 1 in 50,000 people worldwide.3 It is often under recognised, under diagnosed and under treated.3\nHAE, like so many other rare diseases, is highly complex, and patients, their families and caregivers often undergo years of strain trying to understand their disease, get a definitive diagnosis and gain access to the medicines they need. At Takeda we are a committed champion for the patients we serve. Every individual living with HAE is unique and by listening and reacting to their needs, we translate the insights we gain into innovative solutions – from diagnosis to ongoing management. Advancing the science is crucial to the way we operate and we are bold in our mission to accelerate diagnosis and develop treatments that will make a difference to the lives of HAE patients, their support networks and those medical professionals who care for them.\nAbout Lanadelumab (TAKHZYRO®)1\nLanadelumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that specifically binds and decreases plasma kallikrein and is indicated for routine prevention of recurrent attacks of HAE in patients aged 2 years and older.1 It was studied in one of the largest prevention studies in HAE with the longest active treatment duration, and Lanadelumab consistently demonstrated HAE attack reduction. Lanadelumab is formulated for subcutaneous administration and has a half-life of approximately two weeks.1 Lanadelumab is intended for self-administration or administration by a caregiver once trained by a healthcare professional.1\n\n\n\n\nProduct Name \nTAKHZYRO 150 mg solution for injection in pre-filled syringe; TAKHZYRO 300 mg solution for injection in pre-filled syringe; TAKHZYRO 300 mg solution for injection in pre-filled pen; TAKHZYRO 300 mg solution for injection \n\n\nGeneric Name \nLanadelumab \n\n\nIndication \nTAKHZYRO is indicated for routine prevention of recurrent attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in patients aged 2 years and older. \n\n\nPosology and Administration \nThis medicinal product should be initiated under the supervision of a physician experienced in the management of patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE). Adults and Adolescents 12 to less than 18 years of age  The recommended starting dose is 300 mg lanadelumab every 2 weeks. In patients who are stably attack free on treatment, a dose reduction to 300 mg lanadelumab every 4 weeks may be considered, especially in patients with low weight.  In patients with a body weight less than 40 kg, a starting dose of 150 mg lanadelumab every 2 weeks may also be considered. In patients who are stably attack free on treatment, a dose reduction to 150 mg lanadelumab every 4 weeks may be considered. Children 2 to less than 12 years of age The recommended dose of lanadelumab for children 2 to less than 12 years of age is based on body weight (see table below) and should only be administered via a pre-filled syringe or vial.  The pre-filled pen has not been studied in children 2 to less than 12 years of age and therefore should not be used. \n\n\n\n\nAbout Takeda \nTakeda is focused on creating better health for people and a brighter future for the world.
