About this study

Official title: A Phase 4 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effect of Escalating Doses of CINRYZE® (C1 Inhibitor [Human]) as Prophylactic Therapy in Subjects With Inadequately Controlled Hereditary Angioedema Attacks

The objectives of the study were:

  1. To assess the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of CINRYZE.
  2. To assess the effect of an escalating dose algorithm for CINRYZE on hereditary angioedema (HAE) attack rates.
  3. To assess the immunogenicity of CINRYZE.
Read the detailed description

Qualifying subjects entered a 3-step dose escalation algorithm:

  • Step 1: 1500 Units twice per week (starting dosing regimen for all subjects in the study)
  • Step 2: 2000 Units twice per week
  • Step 3: 2500 Units twice per week

Each step consisted of 12 weeks of safety monitoring, followed by calculation of average monthly angioedema attack rate based on subject reports of angioedema symptoms (regardless of intensity) and actual duration of therapy for that step.

If a subject was deemed a "success" at a given step and the investigator and medical monitor determined that it was safe for the subject to continue on that dose, the subject entered a 3 month follow-up period at that dose level with continued safety monitoring. The subject could not re-enter the study for purposes of dose escalation during the follow-up period.

If a subject was not deemed a "success," the subject initiated the next highest step of the dose escalation algorithm provided that the investigator and medical monitor agreed that dose escalation was appropriate. If at the end of Step 3 (2500 Units), a subject was not deemed a "success," then the Week 12 visit represented study completion and the subject was referred to the physician who manages their HAE care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With Adverse Events, Hospitalizations, Thrombotic Events, Treatment-emergent C1 INH Antibodies, Post-baseline Toxicity Grade Increases in Clinical Laboratory Parameters, and Post-dose Vital Signs Changes of Potential Clinical Importance

    Events reported during the 3 month follow-up period are counted with the dose level at which they occurred.

    Measured: 12 to 24 weeks at each dose level

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Treatment Effect of Escalating Doses of CINRYZE on HAE Attack Rates

    Two definitions of success were applied in this study: 1) Per-protocol success - Average angioedema attack rate of ≤1.0 per month at the end of any dose escalation step (Week 12). The a priori definition of study success was 4 or more subjects with per-protocol success. 2) Investigator-determined success - Based on the investigator's clinical judgment, an average monthly angioedema attack rate demonstrating improvement sufficient for progression to follow-up. In addition, subjects who were not a per-protocol or investigator-determined success, but who experienced a reduction of >1.0 attack per month from their historical angioedema attack rate at the end of any dose escalation step (Week 12), were summarized.

    Measured: 12 weeks at each dose level

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing C1 inhibitor (human) [C1 INH] in people with Hereditary Angioedema, run by Shire at 11 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 12 inclusion and 14 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 23 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 11 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 18 Jul 2013). 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?

Number of Subjects With Adverse Events, Hospitalizations, Thrombotic Events, Treatment-emergent C1 INH Antibodies, Post-baseline Toxicity Grade Increases in Clinical Laboratory Parameters, and Post-dose Vital Signs Changes of Potential Clinical Importance (time frame: 12 to 24 weeks at each dose level). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 Jun 2021.
