About this study

Official title: A Phase 4, Long-Term Observational Safety Study to Evaluate Immunogenicity and Hypersensitivity With Exposure to KALBITOR (Ecallantide) for the Treatment of Acute Attacks of HAE

The objective of this study is to evaluate the formation of antibodies, the occurence of allergic reactions, and the risk of hypercoagulability and hypocoagulability in patients treated with KALBITOR (ecallantide).

Read the detailed description

The objective of this study is to evaluate immunogenicity and hypersensitivity upon exposure to KALBITOR, in particular:

  1. Determine the rate of anaphylaxis and Type I hypersensitivity reactions upon exposure to KALBITOR.
  2. Determine the rate of seroconversion to anti-ecallantide antibodies upon exposure to KALBITOR.
  3. Determine the rate of adverse events related to disordered coagulation (hypercoagulability and hypocoagulability) upon exposure to KALBITOR.

What is being measured

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

  1. Occurrence of Anaphylaxis or Other Adverse Events Suggestive of Hypersensitivity

    Based on medical review of multiple preferred terms for treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) suggestive of Type 1 hypersensitivity; terms included adverse drug reaction, anaphylaxis, anaphylactic reaction, anaphylactoid reaction, hypersensitivity, erythema, flushing, hot flush, pharyngeal edema, laryngeal edema, pruritus, pruritus generalized, rash, rash erythematous, rhinitis allergic, rhinorrhea, throat irritation, urticaria, urticaria localized, dyspnea, and wheezing. Records of patients with any of these TEAE referred terms were reviewed further to assess potential hypersensitivity reactions, considering factors such as timing of TEAEs in relationship to dose (ie, occurred within 24 hours after start of KALBITOR treatment), accompanying symptoms, Investigator causality assessment (ie, reported as possibly, probably, or definitely related to study drug), and any other available clinical information. Anaphylaxis subset determined based on criteria established by the NIAID.

    Measured: 12 months after first treatment

  2. Occurrence of Seroconversion to Anti-ecallantide Antibodies Upon Exposure to KALBITOR.

    Seroconversion is the development of detectable specific antibodies in the blood serum. Serum was tested for development of antibodies (irrespective of immunoglobulin class) against ecallantide at screening and at all safety evaluations. Positive results were to undergo a confirmatory test. Confirmed positive samples were further titered. Patients who developed an antibody response were evaluated for the development of neutralizing antibodies. Patients also had their serum analyzed for IgE-specific antibodies to ecallantide at screening and during safety evaluations. Positive results underwent a confirmatory test. Confirmed positive samples were further titered.

    Measured: 12 months after first treatment

  3. Occurrence of Adverse Events Related to Disordered Coagulation (Hypercoagulability and Hypocoagulability) Upon Exposure to KALBITOR

    Events of ecchymosis, hemorrhage, petechiae, spontaneous hemorrhage, hematoma, gastrointestinal bleeding, hemorrhagic stroke and any other term indicative of a bleeding event or increased tendency for bleeding were reviewed to determine the occurrence of hypocoagulability. Events of clotting, thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, vaso-occlusive stroke, myocardial infarction, and any other term indicative of a clotting event or increased risk of clotting were reviewed to determine the occurrence of hypercoagulability.

    Measured: 12 months after first treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall Patient Response Assessment

    The Overall Response Assessment was to be completed every 30 minutes after treatment until patient discharge. Patients evaluated their response to treatment as "a lot better or resolved," "a little better," "the same," "a little worse," or "a lot worse." The data presented is based on the best response achieved following a single dose of KALBITOR (Dose A) for the first HAE treatment episode. Responses of "a lot better or resolved" and "a little better" were combined to form a category of "Better." Similarly, "a little worse" and "a lot worse" were combined to form a category of "Worse." Patients treated in a clinic (study site) could have been discharged after an hour and hence may have only had 2 post-treatment evaluations (30 and 60 minutes); response assessments may not have been consistently provided when patients were treated at an alternate site outside of the study site.

    Measured: within 4 hours post dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE), run by Shire at 40 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 8 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 40 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Oct 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?

Occurrence of Anaphylaxis or Other Adverse Events Suggestive of Hypersensitivity (time frame: 12 months after first treatment). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Jun 2021.
