Berotralstat is an inhibitor of plasma kallikrein. In patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE) due to C1-INH deficiency or dysfunction, normal regulation of plasma kallikrein activity is impaired, which leads to uncontrolled increases in plasma kallikrein activity and bradykinin release, resulting in HAE attacks consisting of swelling (angioedema). |
