Treatment of Hereditary Angioedema Prodrome with Recombinant C1-esterase Inhibitor (Ruconest)
- Registration Number
- NCT06690047
- Lead Sponsor
- Bernstein Clinical Research Center
- Brief Summary
To assess the efficacy of recombinant human C1-esterase inhibitor in the management of HAE prodrome for preventing the progression from prodrome to an acute angioedema attacks. Subjects will either receive Ruconest after the first 2 prodromes or during the last 2 prodromes. 5 clinic visits will occur within 24 hours of a prodrome. Subjects will complete prodrome severity and angioedema attack diaries
- Detailed Description
After screening, subjects will be followed in the study for four consecutive prodromes. For prodromes designed to be treated with Ruconest, the drug will be administered within 12 hours of prodromal onset and prior to the onset of objective selling. Ruconset will be self-administered at home or by a healthcare professional at the recommended dose of 50 IU/kg body weight with maximum dose of 4200 IU as a slow IV injection over 5 minutes Subjects will be randomized into two arms after enrollment. Subjects in Arm A receives Ruconest after 1st and 2nd prodrome and no Ruconest after 3rd and 4th prodromes. Subjects in Arm B receive no Ruconest after 1st and 2nd prodrome and Ruconest after 3rd and 4th prodromes.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The primary endpoint was the difference in response rates in preventing HAE attacks between Conestat Alfa®-treated vs. untreated HAE prodrome events. up to 12 months from start of study A mixed model for repeated measures was used to determine the statistical significance of Conestat Alfa®'s clinical efficacy for treating the HAE prodrome versus the acute attack.
