About this study

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

The study objective was to determine the safety and efficacy of C1INH-nf for the treatment of acute HAE attacks.

Read the 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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time to Beginning of Substantial Relief of the Defining Symptom

    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.

    Measured: Within 4 hours after initial treatment

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Subjects With Beginning of Substantial Relief of the Defining Symptom

    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.

    Measured: Within 4 hours after initial treatment

  2. Time to Complete Resolution of the HAE Attack

    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.

    Measured: 72 hours

  3. Antigenic C1 Inhibitor (C1INH) Serum Levels

    Change in antigenic C1INH serum levels from pre-infusion to 1-, 2-, 4-, and 12 hours after the initial dose of blinded study drug.

    Measured: Pre-infusion to 1-, 2-, 4-, and 12 hours post-infusion

  4. Functional C1INH Serum Levels

    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).

    Measured: Pre-infusion to 1-, 2-, 4-, and 12 hours post-infusion

  5. Complement C4 Serum Levels

    Change in complement C4 serum levels from pre-infusion to 1-, 2-, 4-, and 12 hours after the initial dose of blinded study drug.

    Measured: Pre-infusion to 1-, 2-, 4-, and 12 hours post-infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing C1 esterase inhibitor [human] (C1INH-nf) in people with Hereditary Angioedema, run by Shire at 37 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 37 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Jun 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to Beginning of Substantial Relief of the Defining Symptom (time frame: Within 4 hours after initial treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00289211, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jun 2021.
