Observational Safety Study for KALBITOR (Ecallantide) in the Treatment of Acute Attacks of Hereditary Angioedema
- Registration Number
- NCT01059526
- Lead Sponsor
- Shire
- Brief Summary
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).
- 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.

Group Intervention Description Patients naive to KALBITOR ecallantide HAE patients that have not been treated with KALBITOR (ecallantide) prior to enrollment in the study Patients non- naive to KALBITOR ecallantide HAE patients that have been treated with KALBITOR prior to enrollment in the study
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Occurrence of Adverse Events Related to Disordered Coagulation (Hypercoagulability and Hypocoagulability) Upon Exposure to KALBITOR 12 months after first treatment 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.
Occurrence of Seroconversion to Anti-ecallantide Antibodies Upon Exposure to KALBITOR. 12 months after first treatment 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.
Occurrence of Anaphylaxis or Other Adverse Events Suggestive of Hypersensitivity 12 months after first treatment 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.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Overall Patient Response Assessment within 4 hours post dose 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.
