Andrew Crockett, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Initiating this treatment extension represents another significant step in advancing sebetralstat towards an intended FDA filing. We can now provide participating patients with up to two additional years of therapy with what we expect will be the first oral, on-demand treatment for HAE attacks. The data we collect in this trial will help us better understand the long-term safety profile of sebetralstat and may also inform future trials in younger patients."
