Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: COMPLETED
• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 12

Inclusion Criteria

• Be of Japanese descent, defined as born in Japan and having Japanese parents and Japanese maternal and paternal grandparents.

• The participant is male or female and >= 12 years of age at the time of informed consent.

• Documented diagnosis of HAE (Type I or II) based upon all of the following:

  1. Documented clinical history consistent with HAE (subcutaneous or mucosal, nonpruritic swelling episodes without accompanying urticaria).
  2. Diagnostic testing results obtained during screening that confirm HAE Type I or II: C1 inhibitor (C1-INH) functional level <40% of the normal level. Participants with functional C1-INH level 40-50% of the normal level may be enrolled if they also have a C4 level below the normal range. With prior sponsor approval, participants may be retested during the run-in period if results are in congruent with clinical history or believed by the investigator to be confounded by recent C1 inhibitor use.
  3. At least one of the following: age at reported onset of first angioedema symptoms <=30 years, a family history consistent with HAE Type I or II, or C1q within normal range.

• Attack rate: Participants must experience at least 1 investigator-confirmed HAE attack per 4 weeks during the run-in period to enter the lanadelumab treatment period.

• The participant (or the participants parent/legal authorized representative, if applicable) has provided written informed consent approved by the Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee (IRB/IEC).

• If the participant is an adult, be informed of the nature of the study and provide written informed consent before any study-specific procedures are performed or if the participant is a minor (ie, below the age of majority), have a parent/legally authorized representative who is informed of the nature of the study provide written informed consent (ie, permission) for the minor to participate in the study before any study-specific procedures are performed. Assent will be obtained from minor participants.

• Males, or non pregnant, non lactating females who are fertile and sexually active and who agree to be abstinent or agree to comply with the applicable contraceptive requirements of this protocol for the duration of the study, or females of non child bearing potential, defined as surgically sterile (status post hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation) or postmenopausal for at least 12 months.

• Agree to adhere to the protocol-defined schedule of assessments and procedures.

Exclusion Criteria

• Concomitant diagnosis of another form of chronic, recurrent angioedema, such as acquired angioedema (AAE), HAE with normal C1-INH (also known as HAE Type 3), idiopathic angioedema, or recurrent angioedema associated with urticaria.
• Participation in a prior lanadelumab study.
• Dosing with investigational drug or exposure to an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to entering to screening.
• Exposure to angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or any estrogen-containing medications with systematic absorption (such as oral contraceptives or hormonal replacement therapy) within 4 weeks prior to screening.
• Exposure to androgens (eg, danazol, methyltestosterone, testosterone) within 2 weeks prior to entering the run-in period.
• Use of long-term prophylactic therapy for HAE (C1-INH, attenuated androgens, or anti-fibrinolytics) within 2 weeks prior to entering the run in period.
• Use of short-term prophylaxis for HAE 7 days prior to entering the run-in period. Short-term prophylaxis is defined as C1-INH, attenuated androgens, or anti-fibrinolytics used to avoid angioedema complications from medically indicated procedures.
• Any of the following liver function abnormalities: alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >3x upper limit of normal, or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >3x upper limit of normal or bilirubin >2x upper limit of normal (unless the bilirubin is a result of Gilbert's syndrome).

Change From Baseline in Angioedema Quality of Life (AE-QoL) Questionnaire Total Score	Days 0, 28, 56, 98, 126, 154, 182, 266, 364, 378 or 392	The AE-QoL questionnaire is a self-administered validated instrument to assess health related (HR)QoL among participants with recurrent angioedema (including HAE). The AE-QoL consists of 17 disease-specific quality-of-life items, to produce a total AE-QoL score and 4 domain scores (functioning, fatigue/mood, fear/shame, and nutrition) and each of the 17 items had a five-point response scale ranging from 1 (Never) to 5 (Very Often). The questionnaire was scored according to the developers' guidelines to produce 4 domain scores (functioning, fatigue/mood, fear/shame, nutrition) yielding a total score. The raw total score (mean of all item scores) was rescaled using linear transformations into final percentage scores ranging 0 to 100, based on the maximum possible score, where higher the score, greater the QoL impairment.
