About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Single-arm Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of a Single Subcutaneous Dose of Icatibant in Healthy Japanese Volunteers

This is a single-dose study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of icatibant administered to adult Japanese subjects.

Read the detailed description

Icatibant has been studied for the treatment of acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE), an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by recurrent and self-limiting episodes of edema of the skin, larynx, and gastrointestinal tract. The most serious manifestation of an HAE attack is laryngeal edema, causing obstruction of the upper airways that may lead to death by asphyxiation if undiagnosed and/or untreated.

Icatibant has been approved in over 40 countries around the world including the United States (US) and Europe for the treatment of acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in adults. This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of icatibant in a Japanese population and to evaluate whether race/ethnicity impacts the pharmacokinetics of icatibant after single subcutaneous injection.

This is an open-label, single-arm study that will enroll at least 12 Japanese subjects (in order to have 12 subjects complete the study), age 18-55 years inclusive. All subjects will receive a single subcutaneous injection of 30mg icatibant. The study will be conducted at 1 site in the US. The study will consist of a Screening Period, a Treatment Period, and a Follow-Up Period.

  • Icatibant (30 mg)Drug

    Also called Firazyr

    On Day 1, subjects will receive a single 30mg subcutaneous injection of icatibant in their abdominal area. Subjects will be discharged from the study on Day 3 after collection of study related assessments

What is being measured

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

  1. Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Icatibant and Metabolites

    Cmax is a term that refers to the maximum (or peak) concentration that a drug achieves in the body after the drug has been administrated.

    Measured: Over 48 hours post-dose

  2. Time to Peak Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Icatibant and Metabolites

    Tmax is the time after administration of a drug when the maximum plasma concentration in the body is reached.

    Measured: Over 48 hours post-dose

  3. Drug Concentration Half-Life (T1/2) of Icatibant and Metabolites

    The time it takes for the blood plasma concentration of a substance to halve.

    Measured: Over 48 hours post-dose

  4. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) From Time Zero to Infinity (AUCinf) of Icatibant and Metabolites

    AUCinf is the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve extrapolated from time 0 to infinity, calculated using the observed value of the last non-zero concentration. AUC can be used as a measure of drug exposure. It is derived from drug concentration and time so it gives a measure how much and how long a drug stays in a body.

    Measured: Over 48 hours post-dose

  5. Total Body Clearance (CL/F) of Icatibant

    The rate at which a drug is removed from the body.

    Measured: Over 48 hours post-dose

  6. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-t) of Icatibant and Metabolites

    AUC0-t is the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve extrapolated from time 0 to to the last quantifiable concentration. AUC can be used as a measure of drug exposure. It is derived from drug concentration and time so it gives a measure how much and how long a drug stays in a body.

    Measured: Over 48 hours post-dose

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. The Total Number of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were those that started after the single dose of icatibant.

    Measured: TEAEs were collected after the single dose of icatibant until follow up, 5-7 days after icatibant administration

  2. The Percentage of Subjects With Any Injection Site Reactions.

    Measured: Over 48 hours post-dose

  3. Safety Evaluation Measured by Percentage of Subjects With Not Clinically Significant Abnormalities in ECG Results

    Measured: Over 48 hours post-dose

  4. Change From Baseline in Diastolic Blood Pressure

    Measured: Over 48 hours post-dose

  5. Change From Baseline in Systolic Blood Pressure

    Measured: Over 48 hours post-dose

  6. Change From Baseline in Pulse Rate

    Measured: Over 48 hours post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Icatibant (30 mg) 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 3 inclusion and 8 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 3 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 14 Jan 2015). 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?

Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Icatibant and Metabolites (time frame: Over 48 hours post-dose). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 3 Jun 2021.
