U.S. Food and Drug Administration Approves CSL's ANDEMBRY® (garadacimab-gxii), the Only Prophylactic Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) Treatment Targeting Factor XIIa with Once-Monthly Dosing for All Patien

ANDEMBRY inhibits the top of the HAE cascade by targeting factor XIIa and provides sustained protection from attacks Once-monthly dosing reduced HAE attacks by a median of more than 99 percent and a least squares mean of 89.2 percent, compared to placebo ANDEMBRY approval expands CSL's HAE franchise and underscores the company's legacy of delivering transformational innovations to the HAE community for over four decades KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Global biotechnology leader CSL (ASX:CSL; USOTC:CSLLY) today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved ANDEMBRY® (garadacimab-gxii), the only treatment targeting factor XIIa for prophylactic use to prevent attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older. By targeting factor XIIa, a plasma protein that plays a key role in attacks of swelling in people with HAE, ANDEMBRY inhibits the top of the HAE cascade to prevent HAE attacks. ANDEMBRY, the only treatment to offer once-monthly dosing from the start for all patients, is a subcutaneous self-injection delivered in 15 seconds or less via an autoinjector with a citrate-free formula. HAE is a rare, chronic, and potentially life-threatening genetic disorder characterized by recurrent and unpredictable attacks of angioedema. Attacks of HAE are often painful and can affect multiple sites of the body, including the abdomen, larynx, face, and extremities. HAE occurs in about 1 in 50,000 people of any ethnic group. 'ANDEMBRY, the first monoclonal antibody discovered and developed entirely by CSL, offers people living with this life-threatening condition long-term control over their disease along with a convenient administration method,' said Bill Mezzanotte, MD, Executive Vice President, Head of R&D, CSL. 'ANDEMBRY underscores our long-standing and enduring commitment to better the lives of the patients we serve, including those suffering with HAE. I'd like to thank all the physicians, patients and my colleagues who contributed to this exciting milestone for HAE patients and CSL.' The approval is supported by data from the pivotal placebo-controlled Phase 3 VANGUARD trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of ANDEMBRY. The pivotal study (The Lancet, April 2023) demonstrated that treatment with ANDEMBRY: Led to 62 percent of ANDEMBRY-treated patients remaining attack-free throughout the treatment period. Reduced HAE attacks by a median of more than 99 percent and a least squares mean of 89.2 percent, compared to placebo. Achieved more than 99 percent median reduction and an 88 percent mean reduction in HAE attacks requiring on-demand therapy, compared to placebo. Attained more than 99 percent median reduction and a 90 percent mean reduction in moderate or severe attacks, compared to placebo. The most common adverse reactions in the pivotal trial (incidence ≥7%) are nasopharyngitis and abdominal pain. A published interim analysis (Allergy, Oct 2024) of the ongoing open-label extension study (median ANDEMBRY exposure of 13.8 months) showed that ANDEMBRY has a favorable long-term safety profile and provides sustained reductions in HAE attacks. In the pivotal trial and the open-label extension study, injection-site reactions (e.g., injection-site bruising, injection-site erythema, injection-site hematoma, injection-site pruritus, injection-site urticaria) were reported in 23 (14%) patients. 'We've made significant progress in treating hereditary angioedema, yet many patients still experience painful and sometimes life-threatening HAE attacks and require frequent injections to manage them,' said Dr. Tim Craig, Professor of Medicine, Pediatrics and Biomedical Sciences at Penn State University. 'We now have a new option to manage this condition through a new target, as it allows us for the first time to inhibit the top of the HAE cascade by targeting factor XIIa.' 'ANDEMBRY, a novel once-monthly subcutaneous treatment that inhibits factor XIIa, is a welcome addition to the HAE treatment landscape,' said Anthony J. Castaldo, CEO and Chairman of the Board, US HAE Association and HAE International. 'People with HAE now have another choice for lessening the burden associated with this lifelong condition and realizing the community's shared goal of experiencing life to the fullest.' This regulatory approval for ANDEMBRY is another crucial step in building toward the global availability of ANDEMBRY, which was recently approved in Australia, the United Kingdon (UK), the European Union (EU), Japan, Switzerland, and United Arab Emirates. CSL Behring will launch ANDEMBRY commercially immediately, with availability before the end of June. Healthcare professionals and patients interested in learning more about ANDEMBRY or accessing the therapy are encouraged to utilize ANDEMBRY ConnectSM, designed to offer comprehensive support and assistance through various programs. For more information, call 844-423-4273 or visit About HAE HAE is a rare and potentially life-threatening genetic condition that occurs in about 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 50,000 people. HAE is caused by deficient or dysfunctional C1INH, a protein in the blood that helps to control inflammation. Inadequate amounts of properly functioning C1INH can lead to the accumulation of fluid in body tissues, causing considerable swelling referred to as angioedema. HAE attacks can affect many parts of the body, including the face, abdomen, larynx, and extremities. Patients who have abdominal attacks of HAE can experience extreme pain, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting caused by swelling of the intestinal wall. HAE attacks that involve the face or throat can result in airway closure, asphyxiation and, if left untreated, death. About ANDEMBRYANDEMBRY is a novel monoclonal antibody inhibiting factor XIIa (anti-FXIIa mAb) that has completed the Phase 3 pivotal study as a new type of once-monthly subcutaneous prophylactic treatment for attacks related to HAE, a form of bradykinin-mediated angioedema. ANDEMBRY is CSL's first homegrown recombinant monoclonal antibody to gain FDA approval. It was discovered and optimized by scientists at CSL's Bio21-based research site, with formulation and manufacturing for the clinical programs completed at the CSL Broadmeadows Biotech Manufacturing Facility. ANDEMBRY uniquely inhibits the plasma protein, FXIIa. FXII is the first protein activated in the HAE pathway, initiating the cascade of events leading to an HAE attack. By targeting activated FXII (FXIIa), ANDEMBRY inhibits this cascade at the top as compared to other HAE therapies that target downstream mediators. About the VANGUARD Trial The multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group VANGUARD trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of ANDEMBRY, an investigational first-in-class monoclonal antibody, as a prophylactic treatment for patients with hereditary angioedema. Patients aged 12 years and older with HAE type I or II underwent screening and a run-in study period to verify a baseline attack rate. Patients were randomized 3:2 to receive a loading dose of 400 mg followed by 200 mg of ANDEMBRY monthly (n=39) or volume matched placebo monthly (n=25) subcutaneously. After the six-month treatment period, patients were given the opportunity to continue into the open-label extension study, which is currently ongoing. The ongoing open-label extension of the Phase 3 VANGUARD study is evaluating the long-term safety and efficacy of ANDEMBRY (200 mg monthly) for the prophylactic treatment of hereditary angioedema attacks. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION What is ANDEMBRY?ANDEMBRY® (garadacimab-gxii) injection, for subcutaneous use, is a prescription medication used to prevent attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in people 12 years and older.
