Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of icatibant compared to placebo in patients experiencing acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This Phase III study consisted of two parts: A controlled phase and an open label extension (OLE) phase.

The controlled phase describes the double blind part of the study and was intended to evaluate the efficacy and safety of icatibant compared with placebo for the first treated cutaneous and/or abdominal attack.

Patients with moderate to severe abdominal or cutaneous attacks were randomized to receive a single, blinded, subcutaneous injection of icatibant (30 mg) or placebo. After a protocol amendment, patients with mild to moderate laryngeal HAE attacks were also randomized to receive a single, blinded subcutaneous injection of icatibant (30 mg) or placebo in order to obtain blinded, controlled efficacy and safety data for this subset of subjects. Patients experiencing severe laryngeal attacks (post-amendment) or mild to severe laryngeal attacks (pre-amendment) were to receive open-label icatibant.

After treatment of the first attack in the controlled phase, patients were eligible to enter the OLE phase. In the OLE phase, patients who experienced angioedema attacks severe enough to warrant treatment were to be treated with s.c. icatibant as appropriate until the study was discontinued or the product was commercially available.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Each patient must meet the following criteria to be enrolled in this study.

1. The patient is ≥18 years old at the time of informed consent.
2. The patient has a documented diagnosis of HAE type I or II. The diagnosis will be confirmed either by documented decreased C4 levels and/or immunogenic or functional C1-INH deficiency results (\<50% of normal levels) consistent with HAE types I and II or by medical history.
3. The current HAE attack must be in the cutaneous, abdominal and/or laryngeal (inclusive of laryngeal and pharyngeal) areas.
4. Cutaneous or abdominal HAE attacks must be moderate to very severe as determined by investigator global assessment at pre-treatment assessments
5. The patient must report at least 1 VAS score ≥ 30mm
6. The patient commences treatment within 6 hours of the attack becoming at least mild (laryngeal) or moderate (non-laryngeal) in severity, but not more than 12 hours after the onset of the attack.
7. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test and must use appropriate methods to prevent pregnancy during their participation in the study.

Exclusion Criteria

Patients who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from the study.

1. The patient has a diagnosis of angioedema other than HAE type I or II.
2. The patient has received previous treatment with icatibant.
3. The patient has participated in a clinical trial and has received treatment with another investigational medicinal product within the past 30 days.
4. The patient has received treatment with any pain medication since the onset of the current angioedema attack.
5. The patient has received replacement therapy (fresh frozen plasma \[FFP\], C1-INH products) less than 5 days (120 hours) from the onset of the current angioedema attack.
6. The patient is receiving treatment with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.
7. Evidence of coronary artery disease based on medical history or screening examination in particular unstable angina pectoris or severe coronary heart disease;
8. The patient has a serious concomitant illness or condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would be a contraindication for participation in the trial.
9. The patient is pregnant or breastfeeding.
