Human C1 Esterase Inhibitor (C1-INH) in Subjects With Acute Abdominal or Facial Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) Attacks

March 11, 2015 updated by: CSL Behring

Human Pasteurized C1 Esterase Inhibitor Concentrate (CE1145) in Subjects With Congenital C1-INH Deficiency and Acute Abdominal or Facial HAE Attacks

HAE is a rare disorder characterized by functional C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency. If not treated adequately, the acute attacks of HAE can be life-threatening and may even result in fatalities, especially in case of swelling of the larynx. This clinical Phase 2/Phase 3 study was designed to provide clinically relevant data on dosing, efficacy and safety in subjects with HAE.

Detailed Description

For each subject, only a single abdominal or facial attack was treated and evaluated. After receiving treatment, subjects were observed for a minimum of 4 hours, after which they could be discharged from the study center if they reported onset of symptom relief. Starting from 4 hours after treatment, subjects who reported insufficient or no symptom relief could receive a second dose of double-blind treatment (called "rescue medication") as follows: C1-INH 20 U/kg bw for subjects initially receiving placebo, C1-INH 10 U/kg bw for subjects initially receiving C1-INH 10 U/kg bw, and placebo for subjects initially receiving C1-INH 20 U/kg bw.

The study was defined to be successful if the primary outcome measure and at least one of the secondary outcome measures were met in the comparison between the C1-INH 20 U/kg bw group and the Placebo group.
