Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy, Safety and Immunogenicity Study of Recombinant Human C1 Inhibitor for the Treatment of Acute HAE Attacks (NCT NCT01188564)

NCT ID: NCT01188564

Last Updated: 2015-08-07

Results Overview

Time to beginning of relief is the time lapsed from the beginning of the infusion of study medication to the beginning of a beneficial effect based on patient's responses to the Treatmetn Effect Questionnaire (TEQ) for the primary attack location. The beginning of relief is defined as the first timepoint at which * The patient reports any of the following answers for TEQ question 1: "A little better", "Better" or "Much better"; and; * The patient reports the following answer for TEQ question 2: "Yes"; and, * There is persistence in improvement at the next assessment time, i.e.either the same or a better response to Question 1 and "Yes" to Question 2.

Participant Flow

During the double blind phase of the study, patients were randomized once to receive rhC1INH or Saline in a ratio of 3:2. After the randomized treatment, patiënts with subsequent attacks could be trated with open-label rhC1INH.

Patients could be enrolled into the open-label phase of the study after the initial randomized treatment.

The upper bound of the 95% confidence interval is not estimable due to censoring, and therefore an insufficient number of participants with events.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 hours

The key secondary efficacy endpoint was the time to minimal symptoms at all locations. The time to achieving minimal symptoms was defined as an answer of "Yes" to TEQ question 3.
