About this study
Official title: Randomised Double Blind, Controlled, Parallel Group, Multicentre Study of a Subcutaneous Formulation of Icatibant Versus Oral Tranexamic Acid for the Treatment of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE)
Primary Outcome Measures:
The primary endpoint was the time to onset of symptom relief of the first attack in the double blind phase. H0: λ icatibant/λ tranexamic acid =1 versus H1: λ icatibant/λ tranexamic acid ≠1 Where: λ icatibant refers to the hazard rate under icatibant and λ tranexamic acid refers to the hazard rate under tranexamic acid.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Additional efficacy assessments (Time to Almost Complete Symptom Relief)
- Safety and tolerability
- Pharmacoeconomics
Read the detailed description
This was a Phase III, randomised, double blind, double dummy, multicentre, controlled,parallel group study of a 30 mg s.c. formulation of icatibant for the treatment of patients with moderate to very severe symptoms of cutaneous and/or abdominal symptoms of HAE.
The study consisted of two parts: controlled phase and OLE phase. For the primary endpoint, Efficacy was determined by evaluating the differences in study outcomes using a Visual Analogue Scale for patients treated with icatibant and tranexamic acid.
- Conditions
- Hereditary Angioedema
- Being tested
- Icatibant, Tranexamic Acid, Oral Placebo, S.C. Placebo

| Randomized controlled-Tranexamic acid | Active comparator | Subjects received oral Tranexamic acid+ S.C. placebo
Tranexamic acid Form: over encapsulated film tablet Single dose: 1000 mg (2 capsules) Frequency: 3 x 2 capsules for 2 days, taken orally, 6 to 8 hours apart

| Controlled Open-label / laryngeal attack | Experimental | Patients with laryngeal symptoms at the baseline were not randomised but treated with icatibant open label during the controlled phase. Receives: Drug: Icatibant |
| Untreated patients at the baseline | Experimental | Patients who were screened and found eligible but did not experience an angioedema attack, or had an attack that was not severe enough to merit treatment while the controlled phase was ongoing were treated in the open label phase with icatibant Receives: Drug: Icatibant |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Time to Onset of Symptom Relief.
The primary efficacy endpoint was Time to onset of symptom relief (TOSR) following treatment with either icatibant or tranexamic acid. The median time to onset of symptom relief for the icatibant group was compared to the the median time to onset of symptom relief for the tranexamic acid group. TOSR was defined as the time between time of injection to time of first documented onset of symptom relief for the three primary symptoms: cutaneous swelling, cutaneous skin, and abdominal pain. The primary symptom was based on the type of attack. For abdominal attacks, the single primary symptom was abdominal pain. For cutaneous attacks, the single primary symptom was either skin swelling or skin pain, whichever was most severe.
Measured: 2 days
Secondary outcomes (1)
Time to Almost Complete Symptom Relief
Almost complete symptom relief was defined as a score between 0 and 10 mm on the VAS for at least three consecutive measurements for all symptoms.
Measured: 48 hours

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Icatibant and Tranexamic Acid in people with Hereditary Angioedema, run by Shire at 1 site in Italy.
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 4 inclusion and 12 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 9 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 1 site in Italy. 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. 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 9 Jun 2014). 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 Onset of Symptom Relief. (time frame: 2 days). 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 NCT00500656, 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 9 Jun 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
