Orsini Now a Specialty Pharmacy Provider for SAJAZIR™ (icatibant) Injection, to Treat Acute HAE Attacks

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill., Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Orsini has been chosen by Cycle Pharmaceuticals to distribute SAJAZIR™ (icatibant) Injection, a subcutaneous treatment for acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in adults 18 years of age and older. SAJAZIR is the ninth HAE therapy to become part of Orsini's Allergy and Immunology Center of Excellence, which was established in 2011. Patients will be supported by the company's dedicated and highly experienced HAE Care Team in conjunction with the patient support program of Cycle Vita™. View the full Prescribing Information here.

HAE is an inherited genetic disorder that can affect the autoimmune system, causing recurrent episodes of severe swelling, most commonly in the limbs, face, intestines and airway. The condition is a result of low levels or improper functioning of a protein called C1 inhibitor. While minor trauma or stress can trigger attacks, swelling often occurs without a known trigger. SAJAZIR can be self-administered by patients when they recognize an HAE attack.

"It's been Orsini's honor to offer care to HAE patients and their families for over 13 years, and our team is very familiar with the unique needs and difficulties that they face every day," Brandon Tom, Orsini's CEO, said. "We're excited to partner with Cycle to add SAJAZIR to our portfolio, further enhancing our ability to serve the HAE community."
