Trial Outcomes & Findings for C1 Esterase Inhibitor (C1INH-nf) for the Prevention of Acute Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) Attacks (NCT NCT01005888)

NCT ID: NCT01005888

Last Updated: 2021-06-11

Results Overview

An HAE attack was defined as the subject-reported indication of swelling at any location following a report of no swelling on the previous day. Analyses include observed attack counts and normalized attack counts (i.e., the number of attacks observed during each therapy period, normalized for the number of days the subject participated in that period).

Participant Flow

A total of 26 subjects were enrolled in the study (see Detailed Description). One subject received open-label C1 esterase inhibitor (C1INH-nf) but withdrew prior to randomization. Another subject was randomized but withdrew prior to receiving study drug. 24 subjects were randomized and began therapy with blinded study drug in Period 1.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Population: The Efficacy Dataset (N=22) consisted of all randomized subjects who completed 12 weeks of therapy in Period 1 and received at least one infusion of study drug in Period 2.

An HAE attack was defined as the subject-reported indication of swelling at any location following a report of no swelling on the previous day. Analyses include observed attack counts and normalized attack counts (i.e., the number of attacks observed during each therapy period, normalized for the number of days the subject participated in that period).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Population: The Safety Dataset (N=24) consisted of all randomized subjects who received at least 1 complete or partial infusion of study drug. 24 subjects began Period 1 (12 C1INH-nf, 12 placebo) and received study drug. 22 subjects crossed over to Period 2 (11 placebo, 11 C1INH-nf) and received study drug. Thus, 23 randomized subjects received each therapy.

At the end of each therapy period, each subject was assigned a yes/no drop-out status. A drop-out was defined as a subject who did not have a Week 12 visit record.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Population: Efficacy Dataset.

All attacks in each therapy period were assigned a value of 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), or 3 (severe). Attack severity was considered the highest value assigned by the subject to any swelling location during the attack. Average severity was set to 0 if there was no attack in a period.

Population: Efficacy Dataset.

The duration of an attack was measured from the first report of swelling at any one of the five locations (abdominal, genitourinary, facial, respiratory \[including laryngeal\], or extremity) until the first subsequent report of "no swelling" at all five locations.

Change in antigenic C1INH serum levels from pre-infusion to 1 hour post-infusion at Visit 1 and Weeks 4, 8, and 12. Pre-infusion samples obtained at Visit 1 of each therapy period (i.e., baseline) were used to determine change at 1 hour post-infusion for all visits.

Population: Efficacy Dataset subjects with data at both sampling time points (N=20 C1INH-nf, N=22 placebo).

Percent change in functional C1INH serum levels from pre-infusion to 1 hour post-infusion at Visit 1 and Weeks 4, 8, and 12. Pre-infusion samples obtained at Visit 1 of each therapy period (i.e., baseline) were used to determine change at 1 hour post-infusion for all visits. Functional C1INH serum levels are expressed as a percent of total detectable C1INH (i.e., functional C1INH/total detectable C1INH).
