Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Time to Beginning of Relief of Symptoms
The time to beginning of relief of symptoms has been assessed by using a patient-reported visual analogue scale ("VAS") ranging from 0 mm (no symptoms at all) to 100 mm (extremely disabling). Time to beginning of relief of symptoms at the location that showed first "VAS" score decrease of at least 20 mm from baseline score (t= 0 min) to the next assessment time-point). Assessment time-points were taken on pre-scheduled time-points after drug administration: baseline (0 minutes), 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 16 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours. Time to beginning of relief has been calculated as median time, by using the exact time-points on which each assessment was performed.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Time to Minimal Symptoms
the time to minimal symptoms was the time to minimal symptoms for an attack, assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale ("VAS") score. Symptoms were said to be minimal when the "VAS" score at all locations was below 20 mm. Assessment time-points were: baseline (0 minutes), 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 16 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours. Time to minimal symptoms has been calculated by using the exact time-points on which each assessment was performed.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Hereditary angioedema ("HAE") is a genetic disorder characterized by sudden recurrent attacks of local swelling (angioedema). These attacks are often painful and disabling, and, in some cases, life-threatening. "HAE" is caused by mutations in the "C1INH" gene that leads to a decrease in the blood level of functional "C1INH". This multi-center study was designed to assess the safety and tolerability, efficacy and pharmacodynamics/ pharmacokinetics of recombinant human C1 inhibitor ("rhC1INH") in the treatment of acute hereditary angioedema attacks.
Detailed Description
A prospectively planned interim analysis will be performed on the double-blind data.

The time to beginning of relief of symptoms has been assessed by using a patient-reported visual analogue scale ("VAS") ranging from 0 mm (no symptoms at all) to 100 mm (extremely disabling). Time to beginning of relief of symptoms at the location that showed first "VAS" score decrease of at least 20 mm from baseline score (t= 0 min) to the next assessment time-point). Assessment time-points were taken on pre-scheduled time-points after drug administration: baseline (0 minutes), 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 16 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours. Time to beginning of relief has been calculated as median time, by using the exact time-points on which each assessment was performed.
Time Frame
