2. Business

2.1 History and development of the Company

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative therapies for rare diseases with significant unmet need, initially focused on angioedema and other bradykinin-mediated diseases. Our first molecule, deucrictibant (PHA121, PHA-022121), is a novel, small-moleculebradykinin-B2-receptor antagonist for the treatment of hereditary angioedema, or HAE. Bradykinin-B2-receptor inhibition is a clinically validated mechanism for the treatment of HAE, as demonstrated by icatibant, which is a bradykinin-B2-receptor antagonist approved in Europe in 2008 and in the United States in 2011 (as FIRAZYR). PHA121 demonstrated over 4000-fold selectivity for the bradykinin-B2-receptor when compared to approximately 170 other molecular targets, including the bradykinin-B1-receptor. We designed deucrictibant to improve upon the therapeutic profile of existing therapies and, through oral delivery, to provide patients with quality of life and ease-of-administration that is superior to current standard-of-care HAE treatments, which are injectables. We believe deucrictibant has the potential to provide a safe, effective and easy-to-administer option for both acute and prophylactic treatments of HAE, in the form of our PHVS416 (deucrictibant immediate-release (IR)) on-demand rapid exposure product candidate, and for prophylaxis of HAE, in the form of our PHVS719 (deucrictibant extended-release (ER)) small daily dose extended-release product candidate. We believe that our product candidates may address a broader range of angioedema attacks than other available treatments since deucrictibant blocks the actual signal that leads to angioedema (the interaction of bradykinin, or BK with the bradykinin-B2-receptor), rather than an upstream signal. By blocking the action of bradykinin, we can prevent its aberrant signaling regardless of the pathway that generates it.

In our completed Phase 1 trials to date, we have observed that deucrictibant was orally bioavailable and well tolerated at all doses studied, with approximately dose-proportional exposure. We also have successfully demonstrated proof-of-concept through a clinical pharmacodynamics, or PD assessment with the bradykinin challenge, which had been utilized as a validated surrogate assessment for dose selection in the icatibant development program.

We have demonstrated clinical efficacy and tolerability in a Phase 2 study (RAPIDe-1) treating attacks of HAE. The data allowed us to compare the projected therapeutic performance of deucrictibant with that of icatibant. However, we have not conducted a head-to-head comparison of icatibant to deucrictibant in a clinical study. We plan to efficiently progress deucrictibant through clinical development for on- demand and prophylactic use with our on-demandimmediate-release product candidate, PHVS416, and prophylactic extended-release product candidate, PHVS719, respectively. We commenced our RAPIDe-1 Phase 2 clinical trial of PHVS416 in February 2021 and reported topline Phase 2 data for the acute treatment of patients with HAE attacks in December 2022. We have also demonstrated clinical efficacy and tolerability in a Phase 2 study (CHAPTER-1) for prophylaxis of HAE attacks. We commenced the CHAPTER-1 Phase 2 clinical trial for prophylaxis in 2021 using twice-daily dosing of the PHVS416 soft capsules and announced positive topline data in December 2023. Our primary objective with this trial was to assess the efficacy and safety profile of PHVS416 dose regimens for prophylactic treatments in HAE patients. In February 2022, we reported Phase 1 clinical data with PHVS719 demonstrating pharmacokinetics of the extended-release formulation and the potential for once-daily dosing. In healthy volunteers, a single dose of PHVS719 was well tolerated with an extended-release profile supporting once-daily dosing.

Our legal and commercial name is Pharvaris N.V. In connection with our initial public offering in the first quarter of 2021, we converted the legal form of our company under Dutch law from a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) to a public company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap) and changed our name from Pharvaris B.V. to Pharvaris N.V. Pharvaris B.V. was founded in 2015 in Leiden, The Netherlands. Our principal executive offices are located in Emmy Noetherweg 2, 2333 BK Leiden, The Netherlands, telephone: +31 (0)71 2036 410. Our agent for service of process in the United States is Dr. Morgan Conn, who is registered in PO Box 121, Buckingham PA 18912, USA.

Our principal expenditures since inception have been our research and development expenses, as more fully described elsewhere in this Annual Report. To date, we have relied solely on the issuance of equity securities to finance our operations and internal growth. For more information, please see "ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS-B. Liquidity and Capital Resources."

2.2 Overview

Deucrictibant (PHA121, PHA-022121) is a novel, highly potent inhibitor and selective small molecule bradykinin-B2-receptor antagonist and, to our knowledge, the only orally available bradykinin-B2-receptor antagonist currently in development. Deucrictibant has been observed to be a potent inhibitor in vitro as assessed using human recombinant bradykinin-B2-receptors (150 pM); ex vivo as studied against endogenous bradykinin-B2-receptors in a human umbilical vein model (350 pM); and in vivo in the human bradykinin-challenge model (170 pM). Potency as used in this Annual Report refers to the amount of drug required to produce a pharmacological effect of given intensity and is not a measure of therapeutic efficacy. PHA121 demonstrated over 4000-fold selectivity for the bradykinin-B2-receptor when compared to approximately 170 other molecular targets, including the bradykinin B1 receptor. We designed deucrictibant as a new chemotype with properties compatible with oral delivery. We are developing deucrictibant for the on-demand indication as PHVS416, which is delivered in a softgel capsule designed to rapidly treat symptoms with a single dose. We are also developing deucrictibant for the prophylactic indication as PHVS719, which is a small daily dose tablet with an extended-release formulation designed for the patient to

maintain therapeutic levels for at least 24 hours and to achieve a steady-state plasma concentration within 72 hours. We have released topline data from our RAPIDe-1 study demonstrating efficacy and tolerability in our Phase 2 clinical trial for treatment of HAE attacks on demand using PHVS416 and topline data from our CHAPTER-1 study demonstrating efficacy and tolerability of deucrictibant for the prophylactic treatment of HAE attacks. CHAPTER-1 used twice daily dosing of PhVS416 for proof-of-concept. We intend to use PHVS719 extended-release deucrictibant in further trials and commercially for prophylaxis.

In our Phase 1 clinical trials to-date, we have observed rapid exposure and predictable linear pharmacokinetics, or PK, with and

without food. In addition, we observed deucrictibant to be a potent antagonist of the bradykinin-B2-receptor, in vitro and in vivo with healthy volunteers. In our models based on PK data from our Phase 1 clinical trial of deucrictibant and published data for icatibant, both in the BK challenge assessment, deucrictibant was shown to be consistently 25-fold more potent at inhibiting the effects of administered bradykinin than icatibant on a molar basis. We have not conducted a head-to-head comparison of icatibant to deucrictibant in a clinical trial but have compared the published data for icatibant to data from our Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials of deucrictibant. While we believe this comparison to icatibant to be useful and appropriate, the value of this and other comparisons to icatibant in this Annual Report may be limited because they are not derived from a head-to-head trial and they are from trials that were conducted under different protocols at different sites and at different times. Without head-to-head data, we will be unable to make comparative claims for our product candidates, if approved.

In our Phase 2 placebo-controlled trial evaluating the efficacy and tolerability of PHVS416 for on-demand treatment of attacks in patients with HAE type 1 and 2 (RAPIDe-1), a statistically significant and clinical meaningful reduction of the patient-reported symptoms of HAE was observed for the attacks treated with all doses of PHVS416 (10, 20, 30 mg) compared to placebo-treated attacks. The study's primary endpoint-symptom relief at four hours after treatment with study drug-as well as all key secondary efficacy endpoints were met. Consistently with its pharmacokinetic profile, PHVS416 demonstrated rapid onset of action, symptom relief, and resolution of the manifestations of HAE attacks as well as sustained clinical effects, with consistent findings across outcome measures. In addition, PHVS416 substantially reduced the use of rescue medication compared to the placebo. PHVS416 was generally well tolerated at all dose levels with three treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) reported for one PHVS416 30-mg-treated attack (2.8%) and one TRAE reported for one placebo-treated attack (1.9%); there were no treatment-related serious adverse events (SAEs), no treatment-related adverse events (AEs) of severe severity, and no AEs leading to treatment discontinuation. We believe these positive Phase 2 data support further development of PHVS416 as a potential oral on-demand therapy for HAE attacks.

In our Phase 2 placebo-controlled trial evaluating the efficacy and the safety and tolerability of deucrictibant for long-term prophylaxis against angioedema attacks in HAE type 1 and 2 (CHAPTER-1), a statistically significant and clinical meaningful reduction in mean monthly attack rate was observed compared to placebo-treated attacks. The study's primary endpoint was met as 40 mg per day orally administered deucrictibant significantly reduced the mean monthly HAE attack rate by 84.5% compared to placebo.

HAE is a rare and potentially life-threatening genetic condition with symptoms that include episodes of debilitating and often painful swelling in the hands, feet, face (lips and tongue), gastrointestinal tract, urogenital region, or airways. Attacks are unpredictable in frequency, location, timing, and severity, with multiple types of triggers. According to scientific publications, patients experience a median of 14 attacks per year, and half of patients experience a potentially life-threatening airway attack at least once in their lifetime. Airway attacks are particularly dangerous and can lead to asphyxiation. If left untreated, attacks can last multiple days and are commonly painful, leading to multiple sick days and even hospitalization. According to HAE International, as of October 2014, HAE affected from 1:50,000 to 1:10,000 individuals globally, or at least 6,600 patients in the U.S. and at least 8,900 patients in the EU.

Global sales of treatments for HAE in 2022 are estimated at approximately $2.7 billion based on publicly available information and, according to public research reports, are forecast to grow at an approximately 9% compound annual growth rate to $4.3 billion through 2027. Current approved products treat acute HAE attacks in an on-demand setting or seek to prevent or reduce future HAE attacks in a prophylactic setting. Each of these products generally works in one of the following ways: inhibiting the bradykinin-B2-receptor, replacing the deficiency in C1-INH activity, or inhibiting plasma kallikrein. Currently most standard-of-care therapies are administered by injection, which patients can find challenging despite their efficacy because these therapies often result in painful injection-site reactions (leading some patients to delay treatment and risk attacks), are time consuming to receive (as some need to be administered in a clinic), and are difficult to carry and/or store. We believe HAE patients need alternatives that better meet their objectives for ease of disease treatment, disease control, and improved quality of life. We anticipate that there will be strong interest in safe and effective, orally delivered, small- molecule treatments that can match or improve upon the efficacy profile of existing therapies.

Based on results observed from our four completed clinical trials to-date, we believe our product candidates that contain deucrictibant will demonstrate advantages and differentiation relative to currently approved HAE therapies and other oral therapies in clinical development. Deucrictibant's bradykinin-B2-receptor-inhibition mechanism has a well-established clinical therapeutic profile in a currently approved product in the rapid treatment of acute HAE attacks. We have observed greater potency for deucrictibant compared to icatibant using a surrogate endpoint in the bradykinin challenge study, potentially resulting in both a smaller therapeutic dose and a longer duration of effect. We evaluated the PD and PK of deucrictibant in a bradykinin-challenge model in healthy subjects. The bradykinin challenge was validated as a surrogate assessment for dose selection in the original development program for icatibant, as reviewed by the FDA and the EMA. The clinical dose of icatibant established with the bradykinin challenge has demonstrated successful treatment of HAE attacks in multiple randomized clinical trials and over 10 years of clinical experience. We conducted a proof-of-concept clinical trial testing the effects of BK in healthy volunteers in our bradykinin-challenge trial, where we evaluated the effect of deucrictibant on cardiovascular parameters affected by bradykinin such as blood pressure, heart rate and cardiac output in healthy volunteers. We observed that deucrictibant was more potent in blocking the effects of BK in humans than icatibant, when comparing the deucrictibant results of the trial to published data on icatibant. The data from this trial allowed us to generate a PK/PD correlation model. Based on this model and published data on icatibant, we predict the duration of effect for a single oral dose of 12 mg deucrictibant to exceed that of 30 mg of icatibant and a single oral

dose of 22 mg deucrictibant will cover the same duration of effect as two icatibant injections of 30 mg administered six hours apart. Furthermore, analysis based on the results from this trial suggest that therapeutic doses of deucrictibant may be at least 10-fold smaller than the doses required for oral kallikrein inhibitors in development. In addition, we believe that the observed PK profile of our compound demonstrates the potential of PHVS719 as a prophylactic treatment of HAE by achieving steady-state plasma concentrations within 72 hours. The BK-challenge data was generated in a Phase 1 clinical trial. The topline data from our deucrictibant Phase 2 RAPIDe-1 trial treating HAE attacks were consistent with the predictions of the BK challenge in both onset of symptom relief and duration of effect (use of rescue medication). However, we have not conducted a head-to-head comparison of icatibant to deucrictibant in a clinical trial but have compared the published data for icatibant to data from our Phase 1 clinical trial of deucrictibant. Potency as used in this Annual Report refers to the amount of drug required to produce a pharmacological effect of given intensity and is not a measure of therapeutic efficacy.

In August 2022, the FDA placed a hold on the clinical trials of deucrictibant in the U.S. based on its review of nonclinical data. The FDA requested that Pharvaris conduct an additional long-term rodent toxicology study and update the Investigator's Brochure. Pharvaris participated in a Type A meeting with the FDA to discuss paths to address the on-demand and prophylactic holds and aligned on a protocol for a 26-week rodent toxicology study. Following review of data from a preplanned interim analysis of the ongoing 26-week nonclinical rodent study, the FDA lifted the clinical hold on the IND application for deucrictibant for the on-demand treatment of HAE in June 2023. In January 2024, the FDA lifted the clinical hold on the IND application for deucrictibant for the prophylactic treatment of HAE attacks following review of the full data set from the completed 26-week rodent toxicology study.

Additional trials may be required by the FDA, EMA or other regulators even with positive data from RAPIDe-1 and CHAPTER-1. We are also planning to conduct a registration-directed trial in the on-demand setting and a registration-directed trial with patients who will be randomized to receive PHVS719 or placebo to assess safety and efficacy in HAE patients. In addition, we also plan to run an open-label extension study in the prophylactic setting with both rollover and non-rollover subjects to collect longer duration safety data.

Differentiation of deucrictibant

We believe that deucrictibant, as the molecule underlying both PHVS416 and PHVS719, has the potential to be highly differentiated for both the on-demand and prophylactic settings with the key benefits below:

PHVS416. We believe that PHVS416, an on-demand, rapid exposure softgel capsule, has the potential to be highly differentiated for patients suffering from acute HAE attacks with the following benefits:

PHVS719. We believe that PHVS719, a prophylactic extended-release tablet designed to be taken in small, daily doses, has the potential to be highly differentiated for HAE patients with the following benefits:

Protection From Attacks

Validated, proven mechanism to address all bradykinin, regardless of

pathway

Ideal Release Profile for Prophylactic Use

Reaches and maintains steady-state concentration within 72 hours

Appropriate pharmacokinetic profile with or without food

Potential Reduced Treatment Burden / Enhanced

Convenient oral daily dosing with extended-release tablet

Patient Convenience

Potential for once-a-day dosing

Potential lowest dosage of any oral HAE treatment; ease of

administration

Well tolerated throughout therapeutic ranges as demonstrated by

multiple clinical trials to-date

No injection needed

In addition to the differentiation of our individual products, having on-demand and prophylactic products with the same active ingredient enables patients to maintain a trusted active medicine when they change their dosing regimen and delivery mechanism moving from on-demand to prophylactic treatment (or back). This may be particularly valued by children or adolescents who typically get treated on-demand only and graduate to prophylaxis as attack frequency increases (commonly after puberty). To our knowledge, we are the only company that will offer this option to patients.

We plan to develop separate products for on-demand and prophylactic use, PHVS416 and PHVS719 respectively, with both products utilizing the same active ingredient, deucrictibant. PHVS416 will be a softgel capsule, and PHVS719 will be an extended-release tablet. We reported topline data from our RAPIDe-1 Phase 2 clinical trial of PHVS416 acute treatment in December 2022 and topline data from our CHAPTER-1 Phase 2 clinical trial for prophylaxis in December 2023. We also reported data from a Phase 1 clinical trial with PHVS719 in 2022 showing once-daily pharmacokinetics and tolerability of the extended-release formulation.

Expansion of the Portfolio

Our goal is to expand our portfolio with additional programs addressing other BK-mediated diseases, building on our strategic strength and expertise in the bradykinin-B2-receptor pathway. Our approach is to identify additional disease areas and indications with strong scientific rationale, high unmet medical need, a defined target population and significant differentiation potential. We are actively pursuing new synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and lead optimization to identify additional and/or follow-on product candidates. In collaboration and discussion with key opinion leaders, we are considering exploratory proof-of-concept studies to validate the potential of bradykinin-B2-receptor antagonism in new indications that could include cardiovascular, allergy and immunology and others.

Our Strengths

Our company is built upon the following strengths:

  • Broad strength and expertise in the bradykinin-B2-receptor pathway. Members of the management team include an inventor of icatibant, the leadership team that developed FIRAZYR through European approval, and a key member from the TAKHZYRO development team;
  • Deucrictibant is an orally available product candidate with a clinically validated mechanism of action that addresses serious unmet medical need in HAE;

  • Deucrictibant has demonstrated physicochemical properties suitable to formulations as both an on-demand product candidate, PHVS416, and a distinct prophylactic product candidate, PHVS719;
  • Deucrictibant, compared to icatibant, the currently approved bradykinin-B2-receptor inhibitor, demonstrated higher preclinical potency in blocking bradykinin signaling at the bradykinin-B2-receptor, and good oral bioavailability and a longer half-life in humans, which has resulted in longer duration of the BK-blocking pharmacodynamic effect in humans;
  • We wholly own intellectual property - including granted and pending patent applications - covering deucrictibant and additional molecules, formulations and use; and
  • Our scientific experience allows us to leverage deep insight and experience in the bradykinin-B2-receptor pathway to expand our portfolio into other BK-mediated angioedema and BK-mediated diseases beyond angioedema.

Our Strategy

Our strategy is to develop and commercialize therapies that are superior to currently available treatment options and improve patient quality of life and convenience. Our initial approach for HAE and potential expansions into other BK-mediated angioedema and diseases is based upon extensive patient, physician, and payer research to identify the key needs in the market. According to our analysis, oral therapy remains the highest unmet need for both on-demand and prophylactic use in HAE. Importantly, our research shows that patients are not willing to accept significantly reduced efficacy or safety with a switch to oral therapy. A therapy for HAE, whether for on-demand or prophylaxis, needs to offer strong efficacy, high tolerability & safety, and convenient administration. Our intention with PHVS416 and PHVS719 is to develop products for the on-demand and prophylactic setting that can meet all of these needs. We are not aware of any other therapies on the market or in development that are able to provide such a comprehensive value proposition across the spectrum for HAE.

The key elements of our strategy include:

  • Continue to advance deucrictibant through clinical development for on-demand treatment of HAE utilizing a fast-onset formulation, known as PHVS416. We intend to develop and commercialize PHVS416 as a fast-acting,orally available, potent inhibitor and selective treatment for acute HAE
  • Advance the development of deucrictibant for prophylactic treatment of HAE utilizing an extended-release formulation, known as PHVS719. We intend to advance PHVS719 through clinical development as an extended-releaseprophylactic treatment of HAE. We plan to leverage our clinical data and experience from the development of PHVS416 in the on-demandsetting to expedite our efforts in the prophylactic setting. We expect the efficacy, safety and PK data from our Phase 2 trials RAPIDe-1and CHAPTER-1of PHVS416 to help select and refine our prophylactic dose for the PHVS719 clinical trials.
  • Expand the range of bradykinin-mediated angioedema indications to which PHVS416 and PHVS719 can be applied. In addition to Type 1 or Type 2 HAE, bradykinin is also an important mediator for other types of non-histaminergicangioedema, such as: hereditary angioedema with normal C1-INHand acquired angioedema (AAE) due to C1-INHdeficiency. Currently there are still no treatments approved for these angioedema patients who are unresponsive to conventional antihistamine/glucocorticoid treatment and have a high unmet medical need for effective therapies. Several clinical reports indicate that off-labeluse of icatibant has successfully treated acute attacks of these non-histaminergicangioedema patients, which provides a strong rationale to expand the development PHVS416 and PHVS719 to address such a high unmet medical need.
  • Expand upon our expertise in the bradykinin-B2-receptor pathway. We intend to leverage the strategic strengths, insight, and deep experience of our team in the bradykinin-B2-receptorpathway to identify additional disease areas and indications with strong scientific rationale, high unmet medical need, a defined target population and significant differentiation potential. As such, we will seek to develop follow-onproduct candidates that serve additional BK-mediateddiseases beyond angioedema, such as cardiovascular, allergy and immunology, neurological disease or others.
  • Commercialize our product candidates. We intend to retain economic and commercial ownership of our current product candidates. If approved, we expect to independently commercialize both PHVS416 and PHVS719 in the United States, Europe and certain other countries. As we advance towards regulatory approval for our product candidates, we will establish a focused commercialization and sales infrastructure suitable for HAE.

Hereditary Angioedema

Disease Overview

HAE is a rare and potentially life-threatening genetic condition. HAE is an autosomal dominant disease, meaning that a defect in only one copy of the gene leads to symptoms and that it occurs at similar rates in both males and females. It is mainly caused by one or more mutations (inherited or spontaneous) in the SERPING1 gene, which codes for the C1-esterase inhibitor protein C1-INH. Deficiency or malfunction of C1-INH leads to uncontrolled synthesis and activity of plasma kallikrein and unconstrained BK production. Excessive BK production is recognized to be the key mediator of symptoms in patients with HAE and manifests as edema attacks, most commonly in the limbs, face (lips and tongue), intestinal tract, urogenital region, and airways. HAE patients with a deficiency in C1-INH activity are classified as Type 1 or Type 2. Type 1 is the most common form and results in low levels of circulating C1-INH, and Type 2 results in production of a low function protein. An additional form of HAE, called normal C1-INH HAE, can occur in patients with normal levels of C1-INH for a variety of reasons including mutations in genes for Factor XIIa, plasminogen, angiopoietin-1 or kininogen-1. Moreover, bradykinin-induced acute attacks of angioedema can occur idiopathically in individuals for which a hereditary cause has not yet been identified. Excessive amounts of BK can also be caused by increased circulation of estrogens, reduced C1-INH levels due to underlying diseases, reduced elimination of BK, or through use of medications such as angiotensin-converting enzyme, or ACE, inhibitors and tissue plasminogen activator, or tPA.

Excessive BK generation and increased risks for edema attacks in HAE may occur during conditions associated with inflammation, infections, ischemia, and allergic reactions. Attacks often lead to discomfort, pain and nausea but can become life-threatening in the case of airway obstruction, with a 30% risk of asphyxiation if the attack remains untreated. The number and severity of attacks vary highly between patients, and the most severely affected patients can experience attacks every few days. Attacks can occur spontaneously although they often are associated with anxiety, stress, minor trauma, surgery, or illnesses. Commonly, patients are alerted to an impending attack by prodromal symptoms which include rash, fatigue, and muscle aches. The severity of attacks is unpredictable and not related to their underlying frequency. Airway swelling is particularly dangerous and can lead to death by asphyxiation. Although rare, at least half of HAE patients have experienced a life-threatening airway swelling attack and airway attacks remain a major cause of mortality in HAE patients. Swelling typically develops over 24 hours and resolves within five days without treatment. Symptoms typically present in young children and may take 5-10 years or until early adolescence or young adulthood to be diagnosed. HAE affects 1:50,000 to 1:10,000 individuals globally, or at least 6,600 patients in the U.S. and at least 8,900 patients in the EU.

As a result of the lifelong nature of HAE and the challenges related to the use of many of the injected therapies, patient surveys consistently indicate an overwhelming desire for an oral therapy. We believe that a safe and effective oral agent has the potential to transform treatment for this disease. We also believe that opportunities exist for both acute and prophylactic treatments, and we intend to develop drug candidates for both on-demand and prophylactic use with the goal of providing patients with a set of oral options to prevent and treat their disease.

Current Treatments and Their Limitations

There are currently two treatment approaches to the management of HAE: acute (on-demand) treatment of attacks and prevention of attacks with short-orlong-term prophylactic therapy.

  • On-DemandTreatment: The currently approved products for treatment of acute HAE attacks are all injectable products and include C1-INH replacement products such as human plasma-derivedC1-INH concentrates (BERINERT, CINRYZE, and CETOR) or recombinant human C1-INH (RUCONEST); the bradykinin-B2-receptor antagonist icatibant (FIRAZYR, and available as a generic product); and, the plasma kallikrein inhibitor ecallantide (KALBITOR), which has been known to cause allergic reactions including anaphylaxis and must be administered by a doctor or nurse in a healthcare setting. Human plasma- derived C1-INH concentrate products are isolated from donated human plasma and historically have been impacted by supply shortages. Subcutaneous, or s.c., icatibant is the only available bradykinin-B2-receptor antagonist indicated for treatment of acute HAE attacks Type 1 or Type 2 with C1-INH deficiency. In acute HAE attacks, icatibant has been shown to provide a significantly faster onset of relief than placebo (2.0 h versus 19.8 h). Icatibant is recommended as a first-line treatment option for the treatment of acute HAE attacks in patients with HAE.
  • Prophylactic Treatment: Currently approved prophylactic therapies for HAE include C1-INH replacement products, such as intravenously delivered CINRYZE and subcutaneously delivered HAEGARDA/ BERINERT 2000/3000 (both of which require twice-weekly injections); the monoclonal antibody plasma kallikrein inhibitor lanadelumab-flyo (TAKHZYRO); and the small- molecule plasma kallikrein inhibitor berotralstat (ORLADEYO). Current treatment guidelines recommend against the use of the traditional oral medications for HAE, such as antifibrinolytics (tranexamic acid or epsilon aminocaproic acid) for HAE due to their limited efficacy. Attenuated androgens (e.g., danazol, stanozolol, and oxandrolone) are recommended only as second-line treatments for the prevention of HAE attacks, since there are numerous contraindications, therapeutic class adverse events or AEs, and overall suboptimal control of HAE in many patients. The use of attenuated androgens is limited by numerous safety issues, including seborrhea, altered libido, depression, fatigue, menstrual abnormalities, and masculinization.

To our knowledge, there is one other angioedema-specific oral medication for on-demand use in clinical development. This kallikrein inhibitor, sebetralstat, is under development by Kalvista and has recently completed Phase 3.

We believe that the properties and mechanism of deucrictibant enable us to develop oral product candidates that will be generally more convenient for patients to take, without sacrificing efficacy for treatment or prevention of angioedema attacks.

Related indications to BK

In addition to Type 1 or Type 2 HAE, bradykinin is also an important mediator for other types of non-histaminergic angioedema, such as: hereditary angioedema with normal C1-INH and acquired angioedema (AAE) due to C1-INH deficiency. Unlike HAE Types 1 and 2, for other BK-mediated angioedema, an unclear pathophysiology and lack of consistent diagnostic criteria have limited the opportunity for the clinical investigation and new treatment development. Consequently, there are still no treatments approved for hereditary angioedema patients with normal C1-INH or AAE due to C1-INH deficiency, who are unresponsive to conventional antihistamine/glucocorticoid treatment and have a high unmet medical need for effective modern therapies. Recently, clinical research for non-histaminergic angioedema has made significant progress. Similar to Type 1 or 2 HAE, the kinin pathway potentially plays a critical role in the underlying pathophysiology of non-histaminergic angioedema, for example, bradykinin has been shown to be elevated in plasma from non- histaminergic angioedema patients during acute attacks and several clinical reports indicate that icatibant has successfully treated acute attacks in either hereditary angioedema patients with normal C1-INH or AAE due to C1-INH deficiency patients. All these provide strong rationales to expand the development PHVS416 and PHVS719 to these types of BK-mediated angioedema and address the high unmet medical need.

To our knowledge, one kallikrein inhibitor (lanadelumab-flyo, injected subcutaneously) is in development for hereditary angioedema with normal C1-INH and this inhibitor has recently completed a Phase 3 clinical trial for prophylaxis.
