Current Primary Outcome Measures (submitted: June 16, 2010)

Time to Beginning of Substantial Relief of the Defining Symptom [ Time Frame: Within 4 hours after initial treatment ]

Randomized subjects assessed their symptoms every 15 minutes up to 4 hours after the initial dose of blinded study drug or until substantial relief of the defining symptom was achieved. Substantial relief was defined as 3 consecutive assessments of improvement of the defining symptom. Beginning of substantial relief was considered the first of the 3 consecutive assessments.

Original Primary Outcome Measures (submitted: February 7, 2006)

• Part A
• The primary endpoint of Part A will be the time to the beginning of unequivocal relief of the defining symptom following initial treatment (Time 0).
• Part B
• The primary endpoint for Part B will be the number of attacks of angioedema during each treatment phase, using each subject as his/her own control.

Current Secondary Outcome Measures (submitted: June 3, 2021)

• Number of Subjects With Beginning of Substantial Relief of the Defining Symptom [ Time Frame: Within 4 hours after initial treatment ]
  Randomized subjects assessed their symptoms every 15 minutes up to 4 hours after the initial dose of blinded study drug or until substantial relief of the defining symptom was achieved. Substantial relief was defined as 3 consecutive assessments of improvement of the defining symptom. Beginning of substantial relief was considered the first of the 3 consecutive assessments.
• Time to Complete Resolution of the HAE Attack [ Time Frame: 72 hours ]
  Randomized subjects were contacted 72-96 hours (3-4 days) after discharge from the study site to determine when complete resolution of the HAE attack occurred.
• Antigenic C1 Inhibitor (C1INH) Serum Levels [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion to 1-, 2-, 4-, and 12 hours post-infusion ]
  Change in antigenic C1INH serum levels from pre-infusion to 1-, 2-, 4-, and 12 hours after the initial dose of blinded study drug.
• Functional C1INH Serum Levels [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion to 1-, 2-, 4-, and 12 hours post-infusion ]
  Percent change in functional C1INH serum levels from pre-infusion to 1-, 2-, 4-, and 12 hours after the initial dose of blinded study drug. Functional C1INH serum levels are expressed as a percent of total detectable C1INH (ie, functional C1INH/total detectable C1INH).
• Complement C4 Serum Levels [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion to 1-, 2-, 4-, and 12 hours post-infusion ]
  Change in complement C4 serum levels from pre-infusion to 1-, 2-, 4-, and 12 hours after the initial dose of blinded study drug.

Original Secondary Outcome Measures (submitted: February 7, 2006)

• Part A
• The presence or absence of unequivocal beginning of relief of the defining symptom within 4 hours following treatment, the time to complete resolution of the attack, and the ability of C1INH-nf to raise C1INH and C4 levels.
• Part B
• The number of subjects dropping out at each stage, quality of life, average severity of attacks, the average duration of attacks, number of open label C1INH-nf infusions, and C1INH and C4 levels.

Descriptive Information

• Brief Title: C1 Esterase Inhibitor (C1INH-nf) for the Treatment of Acute Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) Attacks
• Official Title: LEVP2005-1/Part A: A Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled, Clinical Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Purified C1 Esterase Inhibitor (Human) for the Treatment of HAE in Acute Attacks
• Brief Summary: The study objective was to determine the safety and efficacy of C1INH-nf for the treatment of acute HAE attacks.

Detailed Description

Randomized subjects treated for a qualifying attack were eligible to receive rescue dosing with 1,000 U of C1INH-nf if they did not achieve beginning of substantial relief of the defining symptom within 4 hours after initial treatment with blinded study drug, or if at any time the attack progressed to include airway compromise. A second 1,000 U rescue dose was permitted 60 minutes after the initial rescue dose, if necessary.

The study design also allowed for administration of open-label C1INH-nf for laryngeal angioedema attacks, which were non-randomizable events due to the presence of or potential for airway compromise (immediate 1,000 U dose of C1INH-nf, repeated after 60 minutes, if necessary). In addition, subjects were eligible to receive open-label C1INH-nf (1,000 U single dose) prior to emergency surgical (non-cosmetic) procedures.

A total of 83 subjects were enrolled in the study. Seventy-one (71) subjects experienced qualifying attacks and were randomized to blinded study drug (36 C1INH-nf, 35 placebo); only the 71 randomized subjects were analyzed for efficacy. An additional 12 subjects were never randomized but received open-label C1INH-nf for treatment of laryngeal angioedema and/or prior to emergency surgical procedures. Of the 35 subjects randomized to placebo, 23 also received C1INH-nf (eg, rescue, open-label). In total, 83 subjects received at least 1 dose of study drug and were analyzed for safety; 71 subjects were exposed to C1INH-nf (59 randomized, 12 open-label only) and 12 subjects were exposed only to placebo.

• Study Type: Interventional
• Study Phase: Phase 3
• Study Design: Allocation: Randomized; Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment; Masking: Double (Participant, Investigator); Primary Purpose: Treatment
• Condition: Hereditary Angioedema

Intervention

• Biological: C1 esterase inhibitor [human] (C1INH-nf)
• Drug: Placebo (saline)

Study Arms

• Experimental: C1INH-nf
  1,000 Units (U) of C1INH-nf administered intravenously (IV). If there was no response to treatment 60 minutes after the first dose, a second 1,000 U dose could be administered.
  Intervention: Biological: C1 esterase inhibitor [human] (C1INH-nf)
• Placebo Comparator: Placebo
  Matching placebo (saline) administered IV. If there was no response to treatment 60 minutes after the first dose, a second placebo (saline) dose could be administered.
  Intervention: Drug: Placebo (saline)
