The primary symptom of this condition is recurrent angioedema of various localizations. According to the modern concept of treatment, the therapy aims to stop emerging angioedema and prevent death as well as achieve complete control of the disease and a high quality of life. Lanadelumab is a modern medicine developed and used to prevent attacks in patients with hereditary angioedema aged 12 years. \u0000AIM: A retrospective study (IISR-2021-200085) was conducted to evaluate the efficiency and safety of lanadelumab in real-life practice in Russia. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: In all, 16 patients with hereditary angioedema and C1 inhibitor deficiency were enrolled at the initiation of lanadelumab treatment. The patients were predominantly female (81%; 13/16). The average age of patients was 29.9 years; 19% (3/16) of the patients were adolescents. The effectiveness was evaluated by comparing the patient-reported attack rates. The following PROs for the adults only were assessed initially and during the treatment: angioedema activity score, angioedema control test (AECT), angioedema quality of life questionnaire (AE-QoL), and hereditary angioedema activity score. The incidences of adverse events were evaluated. \u0000RESULTS: Before lanadelumab, 69% (11/16) of the patients received alternative long-term prophylaxis, which was canceled after the start of lanadelumab treatment. The average number of attacks per month and treated attacks per month prelanadelumab were 10 and 4.7 per patient, respectively. After 6 months of treatment, these values were 0.26 and 0.09, respectively (10 patients were symptom free at 6 months after the initiation of the treatment). After 3 months of treatment, the mean AECT values improved from 5.6 to 14.2 (p 0.001), and all patients showed adequate disease control. After 6 months of treatment, AE-QoL decreased from 58 to 19 (p 0.001). No serious adverse events related to lanadelumab were observed. \u0000CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated that the composite effect of lanadelumab minimizes the attack rate and improves the quality of life in patients with hereditary angioedema. A good safety profile of lanadelumab is shown.","PeriodicalId":270411,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Allergy","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129906101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, the expansion of genetic diagnostic recourses significantly changed our understanding of the pathogenesis of hereditary angioedema without of C1-inhibitor deficiency with previously unknown mutations.

Asthma is a common non-communicable chronic disorder of the airways and is characterized by variable and recurring symptoms, airflow obstruction, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and underlying inflammation. The creation and widespread use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and other innovative classes of drugs for the treatment of bronchial asthma has significantly affected the ability to achieve control over the course of the disease. Despite this, in most European countries, more than half of patients with bronchial asthma have suboptimal disease control [1]. In the past decades, a class of leukotriene receptor blockers which contributes to the suppression of chronic allergic inflammation in patients with asthma has been actively studied. The majority of studies confirm the usefulness of montelukast as monotherapy and add-on therapy to ICS in mild to moderate asthma across all age groups [12-19,21-40]. However, experts note that in practical medicine the healthcare providers continue to ask questions regarding the effectiveness and safety of this class of medicines in patients with bronchial asthma. In this consensus document, the experts considered it important to provide an unequivocal answer for clinical practice to several topical questions regarding the use of antileukotriene therapy.","PeriodicalId":270411,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Allergy","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122639649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
