Abstract
BACKGROUND Angioedema (AE) due to acquired C1-inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency (AAE-C1-INH) is related to excessive consumption of C1-INH or to anti-C1-INH antibodies, and is frequently associated with lymphoproliferative syndromes or monoclonal gammopathies. Standard of care for prophylactic treatment in this condition is not established. Rituximab may be effective to prevent attacks, especially if the lymphoid hemopathy is controlled, but data are scarce. OBJECTIVE To evaluate efficacy of rituximab in AAE-C1-INH. METHODS A retrospective multicenter study was carried out in France, including patients with AAE-C1-INH treated with rituximab between April 2005 and July 2019. RESULTS Fifty-five patients with AAE-C1-INH were included in the study, and 23 of them had an anti-C1-INH antibody. A lymphoid malignancy was identified in 39 patients, and a monoclonal gammopathy in 9. There was no associated condition in 7 cases. Thirty patients received rituximab alone or in association with chemotherapy (n = 25). Among 51 patients with available follow-up, 34 patients were in clinical remission and 17 patients had active AE after a median follow-up of 3.9 years (interquartile range, 1.5-7.7). Three patients died. The presence of anti-C1-INH antibodies was associated with a lower probability of AE remission (hazard ratio, 0.29 [95% CI, 0.12-0.67]; P = .004). Relapse was less frequent in patients with lymphoma (risk ratio, 0.27 [95% CI, 0.09-0.80]; P = .019) and in patients treated with rituximab and chemotherapy (risk ratio, 0.31 [95% CI, 0.12-0.79]; P = .014). CONCLUSIONS Rituximab is an efficient and well-tolerated therapeutic option in AE, especially in lymphoid malignancies and in the absence of detectable anti-C1-INH antibodies.

[PMID: 36872215 DOI: 10.1016/j.revmed.2023.01.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2022] [Revised: 01/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023]
Abstract
Hereditary angioedema, with or without deficient C1 inhibitor level or function, is a rare disease characterized by recurrent attacks of noninflammatory subcutaneous and/or submucosal edema. It may be life-threatening and substantially affects quality of life. Attacks may be spontaneous or induced, in a setting of emotional stress, by infections or physical trauma, in particular. As the key mediator is bradykinin, this angioedema does not respond to the usual treatments of mast cell-mediated angioedema (antihistamines, corticosteroids, adrenaline), which is much more frequent. Therapeutic management of hereditary angioedema first consists in treating severe attacks with a selective B2 bradykinin receptor antagonist or a C1 inhibitor concentrate. The latter or an attenuated androgen (danazol) can be used for short-term prophylaxis. Therapeutic solutions conventionally proposed for long-term prophylaxis (danazol, antifibrinolytics [tranexamic acid], C1 inhibitor concentrate) vary in efficacy and/or pose problems of safety or ease of use. Kallikrein inhibitors (subcutaneous lanadelumab, oral berotralstat) recently made available as disease-modifying treatment constitute an important advance in long-term prophylaxis of hereditary angioedema attacks. The advent of these new drugs is accompanied by a new ambition for patients: optimize control of the disease and thereby minimize its impact on quality of life.

J Clin Pharmacol 2023; 63:29-39. [PMID: 35871284 DOI: 10.1002/jcph.2125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2022] [Accepted: 07/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
C1-inhibitor (C1INH) concentrates and the selective bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist icatibant are approved only for treating hereditary angioedema with C1INH deficiency. Yet, they are regularly prescribed off label in other types of bradykinin-mediated angioedema including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi)-related and undetermined angioedema. We conducted a retrospective chart review of inpatient prescriptions of C1INH concentrates and icatibant between 2016 and 2020 in the University Hospital of Angers. The first outcome was the proportion of prescriptions with explicit indication. Then, we determined the compliance of prescriptions with European Medicines Agency approvals and the French bradykinin-mediated angioedema reference center guidelines. Finally, we estimated the economic impact of inappropriate prescribing. The therapeutic indication was explicit in 90.4% of prescriptions (n = 66/73). Only 17.8% of prescriptions were for hereditary angioedema with C1INH deficiency, while 31.5% were for ACEi-related and 28.7% for undetermined angioedema. However, most off-label prescriptions were consistent with the French bradykinin-mediated angioedema reference center guidelines (73.3%). We estimated that 13% of drug expenditures were potentially excessive. The predominance of off-label prescriptions may be explained by the infrequency of hereditary angioedema and the absence of approved alternatives in other types of bradykinin-mediated angioedema. Most attacks were related to ACEis. Epinephrine was rarely prescribed as first-line therapy in attacks of unknown origin. Given the high prices of these drugs, we advocate the development of a readily available management algorithm of angioedema to reduce inappropriate prescriptions in our center. In addition, we think that the drug prescription circuit should be redesigned to ensure the traceability of prescribed vials in the dispensing areas.

Abstract
Patients with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI)-induced angioedema (ACEIIA) may visit family physicians. The aim of this article was to describe a case of delayed-onset ACEIIA and to present a concise scoping review. Using a case report and a scoping review study design, we report a case of ACEIIA, with clinically confirmed diagnosis. The symptoms resolved after replacing the offending ACEI with another antihypertensive agent. After excluding other causes of perioral swelling and discontinuation of ACEI, the patient was symptom-free within a few days thereafter. Based on this case presentation, we performed a meta-narrative scoping review including up-todate diagnosis and management of ACEIIA, based on published data in English, French, and German from inception to April 1, 2021. Patients with angioedema of unknown origin should be cautiously examined to rule out oral diseases, including allergy to dental materials and drug-induced angioedema. Clinicopathological aspects and current treatment guidelines for ACEI-associated angioedema are also presented.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is characterized by recurrent attacks of swelling of various locations and severity. An impaired quality of life of patients with HAE has been reported by several studies. We aimed at examining the overall impact of the disease in patients followed for type I HAE, particularly its impact on daily life activities, emotions and quality of life. METHODS A questionnaire was distributed to patients consulting for type I HAE, collecting demographics, disease characteristics, impact on professional life, Hospital Anxiety and Depression score (HAD), SF-36 score and the McMaster Toronto Arthritis Patient Preference Disability Questionnaire (MACTAR). RESULTS The 33 patients included reported an average of 5.17 attacks over the last year. Stress was the main trigger A long-term treatment was reported by 58% of patients, 72% received specific treatment in the event of a serious attack. Sick days were reported by 33% of patients during their studies, and by 34% during work. One patient suffered from depressive symptoms and ten from anxious symptoms, according to the HAD score. The areas most impacted on the SF-36 score were general health and vitality. The mean score for MACTAR was low. CONCLUSION HAE still has a significant impact on the daily and emotional lives of patients, despite the availability of prophylactic and crisis treatments.

Abstract
Introduction: The hereditary angioedema of type II (HAE type II) is a disease which, in the case of invasive acts such as dental extractions, can trigger potentially fatal laryngeal edema. Observation: A 64-year-old man presented to the hospital to perform dental extractions. The anamnesis revealed a history of hereditary angioedema of type II. The National Reference Center for Angioedema (CREAK) recommended a prophylactic protocol before performing this traumatic dental procedure in order to reduce the risk of post-operative edema. Discussion: The HAE type II is under- or misdiagnosed. The literature reports cases of death related to dental procedures in patients unaware of being a carrier of the disease. Conclusion: In case of certain evocative signs (recurrent edema, abdominal pain, family history, etc.), the odontologist must play an active role in the early detection of HAE type II.
