6. Adverse Reactions/Side Effects
The following clinically significant adverse reaction is described elsewhere in the labeling:
- QT Prolongation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The safety of ORLADEYO is primarily based on 24-week (Part 1) data from a 3-part, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study (Trial 1) in 120 patients with Type I or II HAE randomized and dosed with either ORLADEYO 110 mg, 150 mg or placebo, once daily with food. After Week 24, patients who continued in the study received active treatment through 48 weeks.
In Trial 1, a total of 81 patients aged 12 years and older with HAE received at least one dose of ORLADEYO in Part 1. Overall, 66% of patients were female and 93% of patients were Caucasian with a mean age of 41.6 years. The proportion of patients who discontinued study drug prematurely due to adverse reactions was 7% and 3% for patients treated with 110 mg and 150 mg ORLADEYO, respectively, and 3% for placebo-treated patients. No deaths occurred in the trial.
The safety profile of ORLADEYO was generally similar across all subgroups of patients, including analysis by age, sex, and geographic region.
Table 1 shows adverse reactions occurring in ≥10% of patients in any ORLADEYO treatment group that also occurred at a higher rate than in the placebo treatment group in Trial 1.

Abdominal Pain* | 4 (10) | 4 (10) | 9 (23) | 13 (16) |
Vomiting | 1 (3) | 4 (10) | 6 (15) | 10 (12) |
Diarrhea† | 0 | 4 (10) | 6 (15) | 10 (12) |
Back Pain | 1 (3) | 1 (2) | 4 (10) | 5 (6) |
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease | 0 | 4 (10) | 2 (5) | 6 (7) |
Gastrointestinal reactions, including abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea occurred more frequently in patients receiving ORLADEYO 150 mg versus ORLADEYO 110 mg or placebo. These reactions generally occurred early after initiation of treatment with ORLADEYO, became less frequent with time, and typically self-resolved. No patients in the ORLADEYO 150 mg dose group and 1 patient in the ORLADEYO 110 mg dose group discontinued treatment due to a gastrointestinal adverse reaction.
7. Drug Interactions
This section describes clinically relevant drug interactions with ORLADEYO. Drug interaction studies are described elsewhere in the labeling [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
8. Use In Specific Populations
8.4 Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of ORLADEYO for prophylaxis to prevent attacks of hereditary angioedema have been established in pediatric patients aged 12 and older. Use of ORLADEYO in this population is supported by evidence from an adequate and well-controlled study (Trial 1) that included adults and a total of 6 adolescent patients aged 12 to <18 years of age. The safety profile and attack rate on study were similar to those observed in adults [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), and Clinical Studies (14)]. An additional 10 adolescent patients aged 12 to <18 years were enrolled in the open-label study (Trial 2).
The safety and effectiveness of ORLADEYO in pediatric patients <12 years of age have not been established.
8.5 Geriatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of ORLADEYO were evaluated in a subgroup of patients (N=9) aged ≥65 years in Trial 1. Results of the subgroup analysis by age were consistent with overall study results. The safety profile from an additional 5 elderly patients aged ≥65 years enrolled in the open-label, long-term safety study (Trial 2) was consistent with data from Trial 1 [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), and Clinical Studies (14)].
8.6 Renal Impairment
No dosage adjustment of ORLADEYO is recommended for patients with mild, moderate or severe renal impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
ORLADEYO has not been studied in patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (CLCR <15 mL/min or eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m2 or patients requiring hemodialysis), and therefore is not recommended for use in these patient populations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
8.7 Hepatic Impairment
No dosage adjustment of ORLADEYO is recommended for patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class A) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
In patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B or C), the recommended dose of ORLADEYO is 110 mg once daily with food [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
11. Orladeyo Description
ORLADEYO (berotralstat) capsules is a plasma kallikrein inhibitor. Berotralstat is presented as the dihydrochloride salt with the chemical name 1-[3-(aminomethyl)phenyl]-N-(5-{(R)-(3-cyanophenyl)[(cyclopropylmethyl)amino]methyl}-2-fluorophenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide dihydrochloride. The chemical structure is:
Berotralstat dihydrochloride is a white to off-white powder that is soluble in water at pH ≤4. The molecular formula is C30H26F4N6O ∙ 2HCl and the molecular weight is 635.49 (dihydrochloride).
ORLADEYO is supplied as 150 mg (equivalent to 169.4 mg berotralstat dihydrochloride) and 110 mg (equivalent to 124.3 mg berotralstat dihydrochloride) hard gelatin capsules for oral administration. Each capsule contains the active ingredient berotralstat dihydrochloride and the inactive ingredients colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, magnesium stearate, and pregelatinized starch.
12. Orladeyo - Clinical Pharmacology
12.1 Mechanism of Action
Berotralstat is a plasma kallikrein inhibitor that binds to plasma kallikrein and inhibits its proteolytic activity. Plasma kallikrein is a protease that cleaves high-molecular-weight-kininogen (HMWK) to generate cleaved HMWK (cHMWK) and bradykinin, a potent vasodilator that increases vascular permeability resulting in swelling and pain associated with HAE. In patients with HAE due to C1-inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency or dysfunction, normal regulation of plasma kallikrein activity is not present, which leads to uncontrolled increases in plasma kallikrein activity and results in angioedema attacks. Berotralstat decreases plasma kallikrein activity to control excess bradykinin generation in patients with HAE.
12.2 Pharmacodynamics
Concentration-dependent inhibition of plasma kallikrein, measured as a reduction from baseline of specific enzyme activity, was demonstrated after oral administration of ORLADEYO once daily in patients with HAE.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Following oral administration of berotralstat 150 mg once daily, the steady state Cmax and area under the curve over the dosing interval (AUCtau) are 158 ng/mL (range: 110 to 234 ng/mL) and 2770 ng*hr/mL (range: 1880 to 3790 ng*hr/mL), respectively. Following oral administration of berotralstat 110 mg once daily, the steady-state Cmax and AUCtau are 97.8 ng/mL (range: 63 to 235 ng/mL) and 1600 ng*hr/mL (range: 950 to 4170 ng*hr/mL), respectively.
Berotralstat exposure (Cmax and AUC) increases greater than proportionally with dose and steady state is reached by days 6 to 12. After once-daily administration, exposure of berotralstat at steady state is approximately 5 times that after a single dose.
The pharmacokinetics of berotralstat are similar between healthy adult subjects and in patients with HAE.
