HAEGARDA SAFETY AND TOLERABILITY
Adverse reactions occurring in >4% of patients while taking HAEGARDA in the pivotal trial
*Includes patients who were treated with 40 IU/kg and 60 IU/kg.
†Injection-site reactions included bruising, erythema, pain, swelling, edema, hemorrhage, and induration.
‡Hypersensitivity included pruritus, rash, and urticaria.
No injection-site reactions were serious or led to discontinuation of treatment1
- 1 patient discontinued HAEGARDA because of a treatment-related adverse reaction (urticaria)1
In the COMPACT§ open-label extension study investigating the long-term safety of HAEGARDA2:
No related thromboembolic events (TEs) were reported
- TEs have been reported with IV administration of C1-INH products, usually at high doses as well as with the use of ports due to venous access issues
No anaphylaxis was reported
- HAEGARDA is contraindicated in individuals who have experienced life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to C1-INH preparations or their excipients
No anti-C1-INH neutralizing antibodies were reported
Long-term use of C1-INH provides safe, sustained prophylactic effect from HAE attacks.2

Pediatric and pregnancy information from HAEGARDA clinical trials
Pediatrics
- In the COMPACT III pivotal study and the COMPACT open-label extension study, the safety and effectiveness of HAEGARDA were evaluated in a subgroup of 9 patients 8 to <17 years of age
- Results of subgroup analysis by age were consistent with overall study results
Pregnancy
- In the COMPACT open-label extension study, 4 pregnant women with type I HAE and ranging in age from 19 to 32 years received HAEGARDA
- Patients received 40–60 IU/kg per S.C. administration for 4–8 weeks (9–15 doses) during the first trimester
- These women reported no complications during delivery and all women delivered healthy babies
