Berotralstat was approved for medical use in the United States in December 2020,[3][4][9] and in the European Union in April 2021.[5]
Berotralstat was approved based on evidence from one clinical trial (Trial 1 /NCT03485911) of 120 participants with hereditary angioedema.[4] The trial was conducted at 40 sites in the United States, the European Union, and Canada.[4] Trial investigators evaluated participants 12 years and older[10] with hereditary angioedema for eight weeks to determine the number of attacks for each participant.[4] The trial enrolled only participants who had at least two attacks during the eight-week period.[4] Participants were assigned to receive one of two doses of berotralstat or placebo once every day for 24 weeks.[4] Neither the participants nor the investigators knew which treatment was being given until after the trial was completed.[4] All participants could use other medications for treatment of attacks.[4]
