"Due to the lack of awareness about HAE, which is a rare, debilitating and potentially-life threatening disease, patients are often misdiagnosed and undergo unnecessary exploratory surgeries before receiving an accurate diagnosis," said Zuraw, professor of medicine and program director of the Allergy and Immunology Fellowship Program at the University of California at San Diego, and lead author and principal investigator of the study.  "It is vital for healthcare providers to understand the disease and available prophylactic options so HAE patients can be effectively diagnosed and managed.  Our hope is that published data like these, showing the safety and efficacy of an FDA-approved therapy such as Cinryze, will educate physicians and patients about the options now available to help prevent HAE attacks."

Cinryze Prophylaxis Study
