  • The current HAE attack must be in the cutaneous, abdominal, and/or laryngeal (inclusive of laryngeal and pharyngeal) areas.
  • The attack must be moderate to severe for non-laryngeal and mild to moderate for laryngeal as determined by investigator global assessment at pretreatment (baseline).
  • The participant commences treatment within 6 hours of the attack becoming at least mild (laryngeal) or moderate (non-laryngeal) in severity, but not more than 12 hours (h) after the onset of the attack. Note: for participant who present to the hospital/clinic with symptoms which have already progressed to at least moderate (non-laryngeal) or mild (laryngeal) severity, their duration can be estimated by the investigator through questioning of the participant.
  • The participant (or the participant's parent/legal guardian, if applicable) has provided written informed consent which has been approved by the Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee (IRB/IEC).

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Onset of Symptom Relief (TOSR)

    The TOSR was defined as a 50 percent (%) reduction from the pre-treatment score in the 3-symptom composite VAS score for non-laryngeal attacks and 5-symptom composite VAS score for laryngeal attacks. A VAS utilizes a scale consisting of a 100 millimeter (mm) horizontal line with extreme values at the beginning (0 mm = no symptom) and end (100 mm = worst possible symptom) of the line. The participant should draw a vertical line at the point along the scale that represents the current status of the measured symptom. Composite VAS scores were calculated as the average of VAS measurements for skin swelling, skin pain, and abdominal pain (3-symptom composite) for non-laryngeal attacks and for skin swelling, skin pain, abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, and voice change (5-symptom composite) for laryngeal attacks.

    Measured: Baseline up to 120 hours post-treatment

Secondary outcomes (17)
  1. Time to Onset of Primary Symptom Relief (TOSR-P)

    Primary symptom relief was based on the participant-assessed VAS score for a single primary symptom (determined by edema location) and corresponds to a reduction by 31 mm at a pretreatment VAS of 100 mm and by 21 mm at a pretreatment VAS of 30 mm. If the primary symptom pretreatment VAS less than (<) 30 mm, then primary symptom relief was defined as 68% reduction from pretreatment. A VAS utilizes a scale consisting of a 100 millimeter (mm) horizontal line with extreme values at the beginning (0 mm = no symptom) and end (100 mm = worst possible symptom) of the line. The TOSR-P was calculated from the time of icatibant administration to the onset of primary symptom relief.

    Measured: Baseline up to 120 hours post-treatment

  2. Change From Baseline in the Composite Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score

    A VAS utilizes a scale consisting of a 100 mm horizontal line with extreme values at the beginning (0 mm = no symptom) and end (100 mm = worst possible symptom) of the line. The participant should draw a vertical line at the point along the scale that represents the current status of the measured symptom. Composite VAS scores was calculated as the average of VAS measurements for skin swelling, skin pain, abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, and voice change (5-symptom composite) for laryngeal attacks and as the average of VAS measurements for skin swelling, skin pain and abdominal pain (3-symptom composite) for non-laryngeal attacks. Change from baseline in the composite VAS score was reported.

    Measured: Baseline, 2, 4 and 8 hours post-treatment

  3. Composite Symptom Score (SS) Assessed by Investigator

    The investigator-assessed composite symptom score was calculated as an average of abdominal tenderness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, skin pain, erythema, skin irritation, and skin swelling (8 symptoms) for non-laryngeal attacks and the average of abdominal tenderness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, skin pain, erythema, skin irritation, skin swelling, dysphagia, voice change, breathing difficulties, stridor, and asphyxia (13 symptoms) for laryngeal attacks 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); 4 = very severe (very severe interference with daily activities). Here the composite SS assessed by investigator was reported.

    Measured: 8 hours post dose

  4. Composite Symptom Score (SS) Assessed by Participant

    The participant-assessed composite symptom score was calculated as an average of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, skin pain, erythema, skin irritation, and skin swelling (8 symptoms) for non-laryngeal attacks and the average of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, skin pain, erythema,skin irritation, skin swelling, dysphagia and voice change (10 symptoms) for laryngeal attacks 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); 4 = very severe (very severe interference with daily activities). Here the composite SS assessed by participant was reported.

    Measured: 8 hours post dose

  5. Investigator Global Assessment

    The investigator was made a global assessment (that is [i.e.] consideration of all abdominal symptoms combined, all cutaneous symptoms combined and/or all laryngeal symptoms combined) using the following 5-point scale, where the symptoms were scored from 0 for "absence of symptoms" to 4 for "very severe": 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); 4 = very severe (very severe interference with daily activities).

    Measured: 2, 4 and 8 hours post dose

  6. Time to Initial Symptom Improvement by Investigator

    Time to initial symptom improvement was evaluated by the investigator; each were asked to record the time at which they perceived initial improvement of symptoms. Time to initial symptom improvement was calculated from the time of icatibant administration to the time reported by the investigator of initial improvement of symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline up to 120 hours post-treatment

  7. Time to Initial Symptom Improvement by Participants

    Time to initial symptom improvement was evaluated by the participants; each were asked to record the time at which they perceived initial improvement of symptoms. Time to initial symptom improvement was calculated from the time of icatibant administration to the time reported by the participant of initial improvement of symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline up to 120 hours post-treatment

  8. Time to Almost Complete Symptom Relief As Assessed by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score

    Time to almost complete symptom relief was calculated from the time of icatibant administration to almost complete symptom relief. Almost complete symptom relief was determined retrospectively as the earliest of three consecutive non-missing measurements for which all VAS scores < 10 mm. A VAS utilizes a scale consisting of a 100 millimeter (mm) horizontal line with extreme values at the beginning (0 mm = no symptom) and end (100 mm = worst possible symptom) of the line. The participant should draw a vertical line at the point along the scale that represents the current status of the measured symptom.

    Measured: Baseline up to 120 hours post-treatment

  9. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Icatibant After a Single Subcutaneous (SC) Administration of Icatibant

    The Cmax was estimated by a population PK modeling approach. The Cmax of icatibant was reported.

    Measured: Baseline, 0.75, 2 hours post-treatment

  10. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From 0 to 2 Hours (AUC0-2) After a Single Subcutaneous (SC) Administration of Icatibant

    The AUC0-2 was estimated by a population PK modeling approach. The AUC0-2 of Icatibant was reported.

    Measured: Baseline, 0.75, 2 hours post-treatment

  11. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From 0 to 4 Hours (AUC0-4) After a Single Subcutaneous (SC) Administration of Icatibant

    The AUC0-4 was estimated by a population PK modeling approach. The AUC0-4 of Icatibant was reported.

    Measured: Baseline, 0.75, 2 hours post-treatment

  12. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From 0 to 6 Hours (AUC0-6) After a Single Subcutaneous (SC) Administration of Icatibant

    The AUC0-6 was estimated by a population PK modeling approach. The AUC0-6 of Icatibant was reported.

    Measured: Baseline, 0.75, 2 hours post-treatment

  13. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An AE was any noxious, pathologic, or unintended change in anatomical, physiologic, or metabolic function as indicated by physical signs, symptoms, or laboratory changes occurred in any phase of a clinical study, whether or not considered investigational product related. The TEAEs were defined as all AEs occurred on or after the time of study drug administration.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration to follow-up (up to 10 days)

  14. Number of Participants With Injection Site Reactions Reported as Adverse Event (AE)

    Number of participants with injection site reactions (erythema, swelling, cutaneous pain, burning sensation, itching/pruritus, and warm sensation) were reported.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration to follow-up (up to 10 days)

  15. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Clinical Laboratory Tests Reported as Adverse Event (AE)
