To assess the clinical safety, immunogenicity and tolerability of Ruconest in the treatment of acute angioedema attacks in 2-13 year old HAE patients. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of Ruconest in the treatment of acute angioedema attacks in 2-13 year old HAE patients.
To assess the efficacy of Ruconest in the treatment of acute angioedema attacks in 2-13 year old HAE patients.

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Screening
• From 2 up to and including 13 years of age
• Clinical and laboratory confirmed diagnosis of HAE (baseline C1INH activity <50% of normal)
• Signed written informed consent (parental permission) signed by the legal guardian(s)
Treatment
• Clinical symptoms of an acute HAE attack
• Onset of eligible symptoms within 5 hours from the moment at which medical evaluation to determine eligibility has occurred
• IS score for at least one anatomical location at the time of initial evaluation of at least 3 (moderate severity or greater) without signs of spontaneous regression
• 24h or more have passed since the patient’s last study treatment
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Screening
• A diagnosis of acquired C1INH deficiency (AAE)
• A medical history of allergy to rabbits or rabbit-derived products (including rhC1INH, antisera), or positive anti-rabbit epithelium (dander) IgE test (cut off>0.35 kU/L in ImmunoCap® assay (Phadia, Sweden) or equivalent)
• Treatment with investigational drug in another clinical study in the last 30 days
• Any clinical significant abnormality in the physical examination and/or the routine laboratory assessments, that in the opinion of the Investigator makes the patient unsuitable for participation in the study
• Any condition or treatment that in the opinion of the investigator might interfere with the evaluation of the study objectives
Treatment
• Any changes since screening that would exclude patient based on above exclusion criteria.
• 10 HAE attacks were previously treated with study medication.
• Suspicion for an alternate explanation of the symptoms other than an acute HAE attack.
• Use of any disallowed concomitant medication since onset of acute HAE attack |
|
E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Assessment of safety and tolerability. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
This will be evaluated by continuous recording adverse events.
|
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Time to beginning of relief, time to minimal symptoms, time to complete resolution.
Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters (C1INH activity and C4 in plasma) during treatment for the first attack. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The clinical endpoints will be evaluated following the treatment of an attack. Blood samples for PK and PD will be taken at 5 minutes and between 2-4 hours after the Ruconest injection at the first attack. |
