KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (http://www.kalvista.com) is focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel, oral therapies for diseases with significant unmet need, with an initial focus on hereditary angioedema (HAE). Listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, our headquarters is located in Cambridge, MA with additional offices and laboratories in Salisbury, UK; Zug, Switzerland; and Salt Lake City, UT.

The company has an R&D team with an established track record in the pharmaceutical development of small molecule protease inhibitors, world-leading expertise in the role of plasma kallikrein in disease, and a management team with the capability to bring small molecules through the clinic to commercialization.

KalVista seeks a Medical Operations Coordinator which is critical to the organization's mission as it prepares to commercialize sebetralstat, a novel, oral plasma kallikrein inhibitor. KalVista recently reported positive results from the KONFIDENT Phase 3 study which demonstrated that sebetralstat met all primary and secondary endpoints for the on-demand treatment of HAE attacks and the safety profile was comparable to placebo. The Company plans to submit a new drug application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the first half of 2024 and expects to file for approval in Europe and Japan later in 2024.
