Active clinical trials for "Angioedema"

HAE is a rare disorder characterized by functional C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency. If not treated adequately, the acute attacks of HAE can be life-threatening and may even result in fatalities, especially in case of swelling of the larynx. This clinical Phase 2/Phase 3 study was designed to provide clinically relevant data on dosing, efficacy and safety in subjects with HAE.

This is a 3 part, phase 1 crossover study in healthy subjects to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of KVD824 following single and multiple doses of novel KVD824 modified-release formulations compared with a reference KVD824 immediate release formulation.

The purpose of the study is to compare how the body takes up and then eliminates the study drug BCX4161 when it is taken orally as a hard gelatin capsule and as a soft gelatin capsule. This study will also evaluate whether food has any effect on how the body takes up BCX4161.

The overall hospitalizations for a diagnosis of angioedema doubled from the year 2000 to 2009. Although some of the cases represented hereditary angioedema or ace-inhibitor induced angioedema, the majority of episodes were idiopathic. Idiopathic Angioedema (IAE) can be life- threatening especially when affecting tissues within the respiratory tract. No clear guidelines exist for management of this important condition for clinicians. Current therapies typically include avoidance of potential triggers and use of medications either for prophylaxis or for acute events, such as antihistamines, corticosteroids, and epinephrine. There remains a critical need for therapeutic options to provide more effective prophylaxis.

The main aim of the study is to check for side effects from icatibant in children and teenagers with hereditary angioedema (HAE). Other aims are to check how well icatibant controls HAE symptoms in these children and teenagers, and how much icatibant stays in their blood. At the first visit, the study doctor will check if each child or teenager can take part. For those who can take part, participants and their parents or caregivers will visit the clinic or hospital when they have their next HAE attack. Participants will receive 1 injection (shot) of icatibant in a vein and will stay at the clinic or hospital until their HAE symptoms are under control. Participants can receive up to 2 more injections of icatibant over time if their HAE symptoms don't improve or get worse. After the participants go home, the study staff will follow up with them by a telephone call 1 to 2 days later. Then, the participants will visit the clinic or hospital 1 week after they received the icatabant injection. The participant can visit the clinic or hospital and be treated with icatibant in the same way for up to 3 HAE attacks in total.

A study to assess whether different doses of KVD824 are effective in preventing attacks of Hereditary Angiodedema Type I or Type II.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of repeated subcutaneous (SC) administration of lanadelumab in adolescents and adults with non-histaminergic angioedema with normal C1-inhibitor who completed study SHP643-303 (NCT04206605).

The main aim of this study is to check if repeated subcutaneous (SC) injections of lanadelumab can prevent angioedema attacks in teenagers and adults with non-histaminergic angioedema with normal C1-INH. Another aim is to check if they tolerate the repeated SC injections. Participants will receive a SC injection of lanadelumab every two weeks for 26 weeks. The first two doses of lanadelumab will be given at the study clinic. Once a participant (and/or parent/caregiver) has been appropriately trained, lanadelumab can be self-injected. Visits to the study clinic are planned for the first, third and fourth week and then every 4 weeks.

Background: Gleich syndrome is also called episodic angioedema with eosinophilia (EAE). People with EAE have episodes of swelling. They may also have itching, hives, fever, and weight gain. During episodes, the body has very high numbers of white blood cells, especially a kind called eosinophils. Researchers think a drug called mepolizumab could help. Objective: To see if mepolizumab causes EAE symptoms to be less severe and happen less often. Eligibility: People ages 18 or older with EAE. Design: Participants will be screened under NIH protocol 94-I-0079. Participants will have 8 visits over about 6 months. The timing of some visits will depend on each participant s EAE episodes. Visits will include: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Optional bone marrow collection at first or second visit. For this, a needle will be inserted through the participant s hip bone into the marrow. Participants will get mepolizumab 3 times over about 3 months. They will get their first dose when their eosinophils are at their lowest point. They will get the drug by IV. A needle will guide a thin plastic tube into an arm vein. The drug will be given through the tube over about 30 minutes. Participants will keep a daily online log for about 3 months. The log will track their weight, temperature, and EAE symptoms. During the whole study, they will complete 2 online questionnaires about their symptoms. They will fill out 1 daily and 1 monthly. Participants will have blood and urine tests 2-3 times a week. For these, they will go to their local doctor.

This study is being conducted to confirm the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of recombinant human C1 inhibitor (rhC1INH) at a dose of 50 U/kg when used for the treatment of acute angioedema attacks in Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) patients.
