About this study

Official title: Open-label Patient Continuation of DX-88 (Ecallantide) for Acute Hereditary Angioedema Attacks

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of repeated doses of ecallantide in the treatment of acute attacks of hereditary angioedema and to allow HAE patients continued access to ecallantide. In addition, patients enrolled in DX-88/20 (EDEMA4) trial will be followed up and treated for subsequent attacks in this trial.

Read the detailed description

This is an open label trial.

The study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of 30 mg subcutaneous ecallantide in the treatment of acute attacks of hereditary angioedema. This study is designed to provide efficacy and safety data on repeated use of ecallantide. These data are intended to support the marketing authorization of ecallantide in the treatment of acute attacks of hereditary angioedema. Efficacy and safety of ecallantide will be evaluated in this study.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
DX-88 (ecallantide)ExperimentalDX-88 (ecallantide) Patients were treated with DX-88 (ecallantide) when they experienced an HAE attack. 30 mg dose of ecallantide given via 3 SC injections; a second 30 mg dose can be administered if needed. Patients were to be assessed until 4 hrs post-dose. Patients were asked to return for 3 follow-up visits: 7 days, 28 days and 90 days post-dose.
Receives: Drug: ecallantide

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Mean Symptom Complex Severity (MSCS) Score at 4 Hrs Post Dosing

    Mean Symptom Complex Severity (MSCS) score is a validated point-in-time measure of symptom severity. At baseline and 4 hrs, 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 was indicated by a reduction in the score of 0.30 or more.

    Measured: 4 hrs post dose after every episode

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Treatment Outcome Score (TOS) at 4 Hrs Post Dosing, Based on the Patient Assessment of Baseline Severity of Symptoms

    The Treatment Outcome Score (TOS)is a validated measure of response to therapy. Response assessment for each symptom complex (internal head/neck, stomach/GI, genital/buttocks, external head/neck or cutaneous) was to be weighted based on the severity of symptom complexes at baseline. Severity assessment at baseline was rated on a categorical scale (1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe) for symptoms at each affected symptom complex. Response assessment of each symptom complex post-dosing relative to baseline used a scale (100=significant improvement, 50=improvement, 0=same). The weighted values were used to calculate the composite TOS. A TOS greater than 0 denotes an improvement in symptoms compared with baseline severity.

    Measured: 4 hrs post dose after every episode

  2. Time to Significant Improvement

    Time to significant improvement in overall response based on the period from 15 minutes after dosing through 4 hrs post dosing. Significant improvement was defined as a response of "a lot better or resolved" in the overall response assessment.

    Measured: 15 min - 4 hrs post dose after every episode

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ecallantide in people with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE), run by Shire at 41 sites in 3 countries.

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 4 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 8 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 41 sites in United States, Canada, Jordan. 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. 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 28 Dec 2012). 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?

Change From Baseline in Mean Symptom Complex Severity (MSCS) Score at 4 Hrs Post Dosing (time frame: 4 hrs post dose after every episode). 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 NCT00456508, which also lists 4 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 8 Jun 2021.
