Pharmacology/ Pharmacokinetics:
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
1 Mechanism of Action--
Lanadelumab-flyo is a fully human monoclonal antibody (IgG1/?-light chain) that binds plasma kallikrein and inhibits its proteolytic activity.
2 Pharmacodynamics- Concentration-dependent inhibition of plasma kallikrein, measured as reduction of cHMWK levels, was demonstrated after subcutaneous administration of TAKHZYRO 150 mg q4wks, 300 mg q4wks or 300 mg q2wks in patients with HAE. TAKHZYRO did not prolong the QT/QTc interval.
3 Pharmacokinetics- Following subcutaneous administration, the pharmacokinetics of lanadelumab-flyo was approximately dose-proportional in the therapeutic dose range in patients with HAE (Table 2).
Pregnancy and lactation:
