About
KalVista Pharmaceuticals is a global biopharmaceutical company founded in 2011 in Salisbury, United Kingdom, dedicated to developing oral small-molecule therapies for rare diseases with significant unmet needs. The company's lead program targets hereditary angioedema (HAE), a rare and potentially life-threatening genetic disease characterized by unpredictable attacks of tissue swelling; its drug EKTERLY (sebetralstat) received FDA approval as the first and only oral on-demand treatment for HAE. With more than 250 employees worldwide spanning research, development, and commercial functions, KalVista expanded its headquarters to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to support its US commercialization efforts. The company was subsequently acquired by Chiesi Group, an Italian pharmaceutical company, following its commercial milestone.
