Key Factors Driving the KLKB1 Inhibitors Market
Rising Prevalence of Hereditary Angioedema
The increasing number of patients diagnosed with HAE, a rare genetic disorder that causes severe swelling attacks, is a primary driver. KLKB1 inhibitors target plasma kallikrein, a key enzyme in HAE pathology, providing effective treatment options for the prevention and management of attacks.
Growing Demand for Targeted and Personalized Medicine
KLKB1 inhibitors represent precision therapies that specifically target disease pathways, aligning with the trend toward personalized medicine in rare diseases and inflammatory conditions, which increases their appeal.
Advancements in Drug Development
Ongoing research and development focus on creating novel KLKB1 inhibitors such as Lonvoguran ziclumeran (Intellia Therapeutics), Navenibart (Astria Therapeutics), RZ402 (Rezolute), and others with improved efficacy, safety profiles, oral administration options, and combination therapies. These innovations address unmet medical needs and patient convenience, fostering market growth.
KLKB1 Inhibitors Market Analysis
KLKB1 inhibitors, including TAKHZYRO (lanadelumab), ORLADEYO (berotralstat), EKTERLY (sebetralstat), and DAWNZTERA (donidalorsen), have swiftly established themselves as standard-of-care treatments for hereditary angioedema (HAE), offering both prophylactic and acute attack management through diverse delivery routes such as oral, injectable, and RNA-based formulations.
The recent approvals of EKTERLY as the first oral on-demand therapy and DAWNZTERA as the first RNA-based prophylactic, along with NTLA-2002 advancing into Phase III as a gene-editing therapy, underscore a shift in the pipeline toward greater treatment convenience, sustained efficacy, and the potential for curative solutions.
Elevated plasma kallikrein levels have been associated with heightened cardiovascular risks, including myocardial infarction and stroke in men. Similarly, children with abnormal lipid profiles or metabolic syndrome exhibit higher kallikrein levels, linking the enzyme to vascular inflammation and cardiovascular disease progression.
Thus, inhibiting plasma kallikrein (PKal) has been validated as a promising therapeutic approach for managing HAE, diabetic microvascular complications, and cardiovascular disorders. Emerging candidates such as RZ402 for diabetic macular edema (DME) represent the next wave of KLKB1 inhibitors targeting more prevalent indications, significantly broadening commercial opportunities beyond rare diseases like HAE.
Overall, kallikrein inhibitors, while currently centered on HAE treatment, are increasingly being explored for DME, diabetic retinopathy (DR), and other vascular and inflammatory conditions.

KLKB1 Inhibitors Competitive Landscape
Some of the KLKB1 inhibitors in clinical trials include Lonvoguran ziclumeran (Intellia Therapeutics), Navenibart (Astria Therapeutics), RZ402 (Rezolute), and others.
Intellia Therapeutics' Lonvo-z, previously known as NTLA-2002, is an investigational in vivo CRISPR-based gene editing therapy designed to prevent hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks by inactivating the KLKB1 gene, which encodes prekallikrein, the precursor to kallikrein. The therapy has earned five key regulatory designations, including Orphan Drug and Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) status from the U.S. FDA, the Innovation Passport from the UK MHRA, PRIME (Priority Medicines) designation from the EMA, and Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) from the European Commission.
Astria Therapeutics' Navenibart is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits plasma kallikrein and is being developed for the treatment of HAE. The objective with navenibart is to deliver fast-acting and long-lasting prevention of HAE attacks through a well-established mechanism and trusted antibody modality, administered subcutaneously every 3 to 6 months. The ultimate goal is to enable people living with HAE to lead lives free from the constraints of their condition.
The anticipated launch of these emerging therapies are poised to transform the KLKB1 inhibitors market landscape in the coming years. As these cutting-edge therapies continue to mature and gain regulatory approval, they are expected to reshape the KLKB1 inhibitors market landscape, offering new standards of care and unlocking opportunities for medical innovation and economic growth.

Recent Developments in the KLKB1 Inhibitors Market
- In September 2025, Intellia Therapeutics announced it had completed enrollment in the global Phase III HAELO study of lonvoguran ziclumeran for the treatment of hereditary angioedema. Topline data are expected to be available in the first half of 2026. Intellia is on track to submit a Biologics License Application (BLA) in the second half of 2026 to support the company's plans for a US launch in the first half of 2027.
- In September 2025, KalVista Pharmaceuticals announced that the European Commission and Swissmedic approved EKTERLY for the symptomatic treatment of acute attacks of HAE in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older.
- In August 2025, Ionis Pharmaceuticals announced that the FDA had approved DAWNZERA for the prophylaxis of HAE attacks in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older. DAWNZERA is the first and only RNA-targeted medicine approved for the treatment of hereditary angioedema.
- In August 2025, Astria Therapeutics announced that it had exclusively licensed development and commercialization rights in Japan to Kaken Pharmaceutical for navenibart, a Phase III development candidate for the preventive treatment of HAE.
- In July 2025, KalVista Pharmaceuticals announced that the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) of the UK granted marketing authorization, and the US FDA had approved EKTERLY for the treatment of HAE attacks in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older.
- In June 2025, Intellia Therapeutics announced three-year follow-up data from the Phase I portion of the ongoing Phase I/II study in patients with HAE after receiving a single dose of lonvo-z (NTLA-2002). Results were presented orally at the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Congress 2025.
- In June 2025, Astria Therapeutics announced positive initial results from the target enrollment group in the ongoing ALPHA-SOLAR long-term open-label trial evaluating navenibart in HAE patients. These results demonstrated robust overall reduction in the monthly attack rate (92% mean and 97% median) and further supported its favorable safety and tolerability profile, and potential every three-month (Q3M) and every six-month (Q6M) dosing regimens.
What are KLKB1 Inhibitors?
KLKB1 inhibitors act on plasma kallikrein, a pivotal enzyme in the kallikrein–kinin system (KKS) that cleaves high-molecular-weight kininogen to produce bradykinin, a key mediator of vasodilation, vascular permeability, pain, and inflammation. Dysregulation of this pathway is linked to various inflammatory, cardiovascular, metabolic, and thrombotic conditions, positioning KLKB1 as an essential regulator of vascular function and immune activity. In addition to suppressing bradykinin generation, KLKB1 inhibition affects coagulation pathways and interacts with the complement system, suggesting a broader role in maintaining vascular balance and regulating inflammatory processes. Emerging research underscores its therapeutic potential in retinal vascular leakage, diabetic complications, and thrombosis prevention, highlighting its broader relevance beyond hereditary angioedema.
