About this study

Since 1963 Hereditary AngioEdema (HAE) is considered an autosomal dominant disorder (Donaldson and Evans), characterized by a quantitative and/or qualitative deficit of C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH), which affects approximately 1:50.000 individuals in the general population. From this period the link between HAE and psychiatry was interrupted, however genetic issues could not comprehensively explain the clinical evolution of the disease. Clinical studies show an evident gap between genotype and phenotype of HAE. For this still controversial question, we have designed this cross-sectional study in order to establish the relationship between HAE clinical manifestations and neurobiological/psychopatological parameters.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jun 2014. 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 Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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

Contact Giuseppe Minutolo, MD, PhD (+39 0953782791, giuseppeminutolo@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Multivariate linear regression analysis of HAE clinical status and psychometric parameters (time frame: First assessment). 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?
