About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open-Label, Non-Randomized Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics, Tolerability, and Safety of a Single Subcutaneous Administration of Icatibant in Children and Adolescents With Hereditary Angioedema

HGT-FIR-086 is a multicenter, open-label, non-randomized, single-arm study to evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, tolerability,safety, and efficacy on reproductive hormones, of a single subcutaneous (SC) administration of icatibant in approximately 30 pediatric subjects with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) during an initial acute attack.

Read the detailed description

Study HGT-FIR-086 will enroll 30 subjects from 2 to less than 18 years of age, divided into 2 groups: prepubertal and pubertal/postpubertal. At least 10 prepubertal children and at least 20 adolescents (including 10 treated during a HAE attack) must be enrolled in the study.

After a qualifying screening period, the PK, safety/tolerability, and efficacy of treatment with SC icatibant will be evaluated in at least 20 subjects (10 prepubertal and 10 pubertal/postpubertal subjects) who present with cutaneous, abdominal, or laryngeal symptoms of an acute attack of HAE. The PK and safety/tolerability of SC icatibant will be evaluated in at least 10 additional pubertal/postpubertal subjects who meet screening criteria and receive treatment with SC icatibant in the absence of a current acute HAE attack.

The planned duration of active participation for subjects who present with an initial attack of acute HAE will consist of treatment with a single subcutaneous injection of icatibant on Day 1 through follow up at day 90.

After having received initial treatment with icatibant, either during or in the absence of an attack, at least 10 pubertal/postpubertal subjects who subsequently experience an acute HAE attack may continue to receive treatment with icatibant as a single SC administration per attack for a total of 3 eligible icatibant-treated attacks.

The period of active participation in the study for prepubertal subjects will be approximately 90 days, while that for pubertal/postpubertal subjects could be a maximum of approximately 270 or 360 days (3 separate active periods of approximately 90 days for those treated with icatibant during an attack; 4 separate active periods for those treated without an attack), with each active period separated by periods of inactive participation of variable duration.

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Time to Onset of Symptom Relief (TOSR) for Composite Investigator-Assessed Symptom Scores for Icatibant Exposure Number 1

    The TOSR was defined as the duration of time in hours from study drug administration to the earliest time post-treatment at which there was at least a 20 percent (%) improvement in the average post-treatment symptom score with no worsening of any single component score for the initial icatibant exposure. The investigator used a symptom score to assess the severities of symptoms of acute cutaneous, abdominal, and laryngeal attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) using the following 5-point scale: 0=none (absence of symptoms), 1=mild (no to mild interference with daily activities), 2=moderate (moderate interference with daily activities), 3=severe (severe interference with daily activities) and 4=very severe (very severe interference with daily activities). TOSR for participants who received initial icatibant administration was reported.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to 8.5 hours post-dose

  2. Time to Onset of Symptom Relief (TOSR) for Composite Investigator-Assessed Symptom Scores for Icatibant Exposure Number 2 and 3

    The TOSR was defined as the duration of time in hours from study drug administration to the earliest time post-treatment at which there was at least a 20% improvement in the composite (or average) post-treatment symptom score with no worsening of any single component score. The investigator used a symptom score to assess the severities of symptoms of acute cutaneous, abdominal, and laryngeal attacks of HAE using the following 5-point scale: 0=none (absence of symptoms), 1=mild (no to mild interference with daily activities), 2=moderate (moderate interference with daily activities), 3=severe (severe interference with daily activities) and 4=very severe (very severe interference with daily activities). TOSR for participants who received subsequent icatibant administration by HCP administration or by caregiver/ self-administration was reported.

The investigator used a symptom score to assess the severities of symptoms of acute cutaneous, abdominal, and laryngeal attacks of HAE using the following 5-point scale: 0=none (absence of symptoms), 1=mild (no to mild interference with daily activities), 2=moderate (moderate interference with daily activities), 3=severe (severe interference with daily activities) and 4=very severe (very severe interference with daily activities). Time to minimum symptom for participants who received subsequent icatibant administration by HCP administration or by caregiver/ self-administration was reported.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to 12 hours post-dose

  8. Time to Minimum Symptom for Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) Scores for Icatibant Exposure Number 1

    Time to minimum symptoms was defined as the duration of time in hours from study drug administration to the earliest time at which post-treatment score improved to zero (or no pain). Participants of 4 years of age and older self-assessed their HAE-related pain using the FPS-R instrument. FPS-R is a self-reported measure used to assess the intensity of children's pain and it is scored using a 0 to 10 scale (0=no pain to 10=very much pain). Time to minimum symptom for participants who received initial icatibant administration was reported.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to 52 hours post-dose

  9. Time to Minimum Symptom for Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) Scores for Icatibant Exposure Number 2 and 3

    Time to minimum symptoms was defined as the duration of time in hours from study drug administration to the earliest time at which post-treatment score improved to zero (or no pain). Participants of 4 years of age and older self-assessed their HAE-related pain using the FPS-R instrument. FPS-R is a self-reported measure used to assess the intensity of children's pain and it is scored using a 0 to 10 scale (0=no pain to 10=very much pain).

  10. Time to Minimum Symptom for Faces, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) Scores

    Time to minimum symptoms was defined as the duration of time in hours from study drug administration to the earliest time at which the total post-treatment score improved to zero. Participants of 4 years age and younger underwent investigator assessment of HAE-related pain (cutaneous, abdominal, and laryngeal) using the FLACC comportmental pain scale. Each of the 5 categories was scored from 0 to 2. (F) Face: 0 (no particular expression/smile) - 2 (frequent to constant frown clenched jaw quivering chin); (L) Legs: 0 (normal position/relaxed) - 2 (kicking/legs drawn up); (A) Activity: 0 (lying quietly, normal position, moves easily) - 2 (arched rigid/jerking); (C) Cry: 0 (No cry [awake/asleep]) - 2 (crying steadily/screams/sobs or frequent complaints); (C) Consolability: 0 (content/relaxed) - 2 (difficult to console/comfort), resulting in a total score between 0 and 10.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to 8.5 hours post-dose

  11. Time to Use of Rescue Medication for the Treatment of Symptoms of the Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) Attack Following Study Drug Administration

    Rescue medication was any medication used after the administration of icatibant which, in the opinion of the investigator, was immediately necessary to alleviate acute symptoms which are judged by the investigator as resultant from the current HAE attack. Time to first use of rescue medication prior to the onset of symptom relief was calculated from the time of study drug administration to the first use of rescue medication prior to the onset of symptom relief. This analysis was not performed since as per protocol, "This analysis will only be performed if there are at least 5 participants for a given attack who used rescue medication prior to attaining symptom relief".

    Measured: From the start of study drug administration up to 52 hours post-dose

  12. Number of Participants With Worsened Intensity of Clinical Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) Symptoms Between 2 and 4 Hours After Treatment With Icatibant Exposure Number 1

A Phase 3 study testing icatibant in people with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE), run by Shire at 26 sites in 10 countries.

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 5 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 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 26 sites in United States, Germany, Israel, Spain, Australia and 5 more countries. 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 25 Mar 2019). 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 Peak Concentration (Tmax) of a Single Subcutaneous (SC) Dose of Icatibant (time frame: Pre-dose; 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours post-dose on Day 1). The study lists 16 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01386658, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
