What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Treatment Outcome Score at 4 Hours Post-Dose

    Treatment Outcome Score (TOS) is a validated, comprehensive measure of symptom response to treatment. At 4 hours , patient assessment of response characterized by their change from baseline in symptom severity and collected by anatomic site of attack involvement, was recorded on a categorical scale (significant improvement [100] to significant worsening [-100]). The response at each anatomic site was weighted by baseline severity and then the weighted scores across all involved sites were averaged to calculate the TOS. Clinically meaningful improvement was indicated by a TOS of 30 or higher.

    Measured: 4 hours post-dose (DOUBLE-BLIND PART)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change From Baseline in Mean Symptom Complex Severity (MSCS) Score at 4 Hours Post-dose

    Mean Symptom Complex Severity (MSCS) score is a validated, comprehensive point-in-time measure of symptom severity. At baseline and 4 hours, patients rated the severity on a categorical scale (0 = normal, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe) for symptoms at each affected anatomical location. Ratings were averaged to obtain the MSCS score. A decrease in MSCS score reflected an improvement in symptoms; clinically meaningful improvement (minimally important difference) was indicated by a reduction in the score of 0.30 or more.

    Measured: baseline, 4 hours post-dose (DOUBLE-BLIND PART)

  2. Time to Significant Improvement in Overall Response

    The overall response assessment is a patient-reported assessment of global response to therapy. Patients are asked to perform an overall response assessment at regular intervals, relative to baseline. Patients were asked "overall how are you feeling" compared to how they felt before study drug. Answer options were "a lot worse", "a little worse", "same", "a little better" or "a lot better or resolved". Significant improvement was the first time that the patient responded to the assessment as "a little better or resolved".

    Measured: 4 hours post-dose (DOUBLE-BLIND PART)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ecallantide and Phosphate Buffer Saline (PBS), in people with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE), run by Shire at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 May 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Treatment Outcome Score at 4 Hours Post-Dose (time frame: 4 hours post-dose (DOUBLE-BLIND PART)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00262080, which also lists 6 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jun 2021.
