On November 16, 2020, KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) announced updated guidance on the data release of its Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KVD900 in patients with hereditary angioedema.

The Phase 2 study is an event-driven design that requires patients to treat two eligible attacks. The Company targeted recruitment of 60 patients and ultimately enrolled a total of 68 patients into the study. The target of the study is to provide data from 50 completed patients, and to date 47 patients have completed the two required attacks. Eleven further patients have already completed their first attack treatment.

Following the last patient completion, the Company anticipates that it will require approximately six weeks to complete the necessary activities to record and analyze the final data. The Company intends to disclose the trial results following receipt of the final analysis. The Company will provide further updates as warranted in regulatory filings.
