A Study of the Safety and Immunogenicity of Repeated rhC1INH Administration

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Genetic Disorders
Hereditary Angioedema

Registration Number
NCT00851409
Lead Sponsor
Pharming Technologies B.V.
Brief Summary

Hereditary angioedema ("HAE") is a disease characterized by recurrent tissue swelling affecting various body locations. Recent literature shows that patients with frequent attacks may benefit from long-term prophylaxis. This study aims to evaluate the safety and prophylactic effect of weekly administrations of 50 IU/kg recombinant C1 Inhibitor ("rhC1INH").

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
HAE Attacks/Week8 weeks

Prior to the treatment period, patients enrolled in the study, were asked about the amount of "HAE" attacks in the past 2 years, (calculated to attacks/week), this number is defined as "Historical". During the treatment period, patients received a dose of 50 IU/kg of "rhC1INH" administered by slow "IV" injection over 4 to 5 minutes, once a week during an eight week period. The amount of attacks during this period is defined as "Prophylaxis" (calculated to attacks/week).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The Evaluation of Pharmacokinetic/ Pharmacodynamic ("PK/PD")Parameters.8 weeks

"PK/PD" parameters will be based on concentration time curves after the 1st and 8th "rhC1INH" administration.(ratio visit 8/ visit 1, based on the area under the curve from baseline up to 4 hours after administration (AUC 0-4)
