Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Part 1: The Rate of Expert-confirmed HAE Attacks During Dosing in the Entire 24-week Treatment Period (Day 1 to Day 168)24 weeks

The angioedema event rate and the treatment comparisons between each berotralstat dose and placebo in the rate of expert-confirmed angioedema events during the entire dosing period was analyzed using a negative binomial regression model. The number of expert-confirmed angioedema events was included as the dependent variable, the treatment was included as a fixed effect, the stratification variable (baseline monthly angioedema event rate) and study (for the combined study analysis) were included as covariates, and the logarithm of duration on treatment was included as an offset variable. The estimated rate of angioedema events for each treatment group, the treatment differences expressed as the angioedema event rate ratio (berotralstat) over placebo rate ratio), and their associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were provided from the negative binomial regression model.

Part 3: To Evaluate the Long-term Safety and Tolerability of Berotralstat Administered QD Over a 52- to up to 104-week Administration Period in Subjects With HAE.Part 3: Week 52 to up to Week 104.

The safety data was assessed for the safety population for subjects who entered Part 3, and includes TEAEs that occurred in Part 3 for these subjects.

Part 2: To Evaluate the Long-term Safety and Tolerability of Berotralstat 110 and 150 mg in Subjects With HAEPart 1: 24 weeks (Week 0 to 24 to 52), Part 2: 28 weeks (Week 24 to 52)

The safety data was assessed for the safety population for subjects who entered Part 2, and includes TEAEs that occurred in Part 1 and Part 2 for these subjects with a data cut-off date of 10-April-2020. TEAEs are defined as AEs that occurred on or after first dose of study treatment, whether in Part 1 or 2, and were assigned to the relevant treatment depending on when the TEAE began (Part 1 or Part 2 treatment). TEAEs were assessed for severity (graded) using the Division of Microbiology and Infectious Disease (DMID) criteria for grading AEs. TEAEs not covered by the DMID criteria were assessed as Mild (Grade 1), Moderate (Grade 2), Severe (Grade 3) or Life-threatening (Grade 4).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Part 1: Proportion of Days With Angioedema Symptoms Through 24 Weeks.24 weeks

Assessment of number and proportion of days subjects had angioedema symptoms from expert-confirmed angioedema events during Part 1.

Part 1: Change From Baseline in Angioedema Quality of Life (AE-QoL) Questionnaire at Week 24 (Total Score)Baseline and 24 weeks

Change in Quality of Life, on a 1-100 scale, where higher scores indicate more impairment and a decrease (change with a negative value) in AE-QoL questionnaire scores indicates an improvement in the subject's QoL. The minimum clinically important difference (MCID) for the AE-QoL questionnaire is -6 (total score).

Part 3: To Assess the Effectiveness of Berotralstat Over a 52- to up to 104-week Administration Period52 weeks (Week 52 to 104)

Adjusted subject-reported event rate was defined as (total number of adjusted subject-reported HAE events experienced in the period between the Week 52 visit and end of study \[or the last dose date/time in Part 3 + 24 hours for subjects who discontinued drug in Part 3\]) \* 28/(date of last dose in Part 3 - date of Week 52 visit + 1).

Part 3: To Evaluate Subject's Satisfaction With Berotralstat During 52- to 104-week Administration Period52 Weeks (Week 52 to 104)

The Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM) was completed by subjects at baseline and at each study visit until the end of the study. TSQM scores consisted of 14 items of which 13 items were made up of 3 specific scales (Effectiveness, Side Effects, and Convenience) and 1 global satisfaction scale (Global Satisfaction). At baseline, TSQM questionnaires were completed based on subject's satisfaction with usual medications. At all other time points for collection of TSQM, subjects were asked about their level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the study drug. Scales scores were calculated for each scale and were transformed into scores ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating higher satisfaction. TSQM score and corresponding change from baseline values were calculated at each visit. For subjects who received active treatment following placebo, visits were adjusted according to the date of the first dose of active treatment.

Part 2: To Assess the Effectiveness of Berotralstat Over a 24- to 52-week Period28 weeks (Week 24 to 52)

Monthly Attack Rate was defined as the total number of investigator-confirmed HAE attacks experienced during the treatment period adjusted for the length of a month (defined as 28 days) and the number of days the subject was on treatment during that month. The end of Month 6 was defined as the start of Part 2 treatment. For crossover subjects receiving active treatment following placebo, months were adjusted according to the date of the first dose of active treatment.

Baseline investigator-confirmed attack rate was defined as the total number of investigator-confirmed HAE attacks experienced in the period between screening and first dose of study drug adjusted for the length of a month (defined as 28 days) and the number of days during that period.

Part 2: To Evaluate QoL Following Berotralstat Administration Over a 24- to 52-week Period.28 Weeks (Week 24 to 52)

Change in Quality of Life, on a 1-100 scale, where higher scores indicate more impairment and a decrease (change with a negative value) in AE-QoL questionnaire scores indicates an improvement in the subject's QoL. The minimum clinically important difference (MCID) for the AE-QoL questionnaire is -6 (total score). The AE-QoL is only validated for adults; however, data were collected on all adult and adolescent study subjects.

Part 3: To Evaluate QoL Following Berotralstat Administration Over a 52- to up to 104-week Period52 Weeks (Week 52 to 104)

Change in Quality of Life, on a 1-100 scale, where higher scores indicate more impairment and a decrease (change with a negative value) in AE-QoL questionnaire scores indicates an improvement in the subject's QoL. The minimum clinically important difference (MCID) for the AE-QoL questionnaire is -6 (total score). For subjects who received active treatment following placebo, visits were adjusted according to the date of the first dose of active treatment.

Part 1: Rate of Expert-confirmed Angioedema Events During Dosing in the Effective Treatment PeriodDay 8 through to 24 weeks

The rate of expert-confirmed angioedema events for the effective treatment period gives an analysis of the efficacy of active treatment after berotralstat had reached steady-state concentrations, given the effective half-life of 150 mg berotralstat in Study BCX7353-106 (Study 106) of 89 hours.
