About this study

Study HGT-FIR-086 will enroll 30 subjects from 2 to less than 18 years of age, divided into 2 groups: prepubertal and pubertal/postpubertal. At least 10 prepubertal children and at least 20 adolescents (including 10 treated during a HAE attack) must be enrolled in the study.

After a qualifying screening period, the PK, safety/tolerability, and efficacy of treatment with SC icatibant will be evaluated in at least 20 subjects (10 prepubertal and 10 pubertal/postpubertal subjects) who present with cutaneous, abdominal, or laryngeal symptoms of an acute attack of HAE. The PK and safety/tolerability of SC icatibant will be evaluated in at least 10 additional pubertal/postpubertal subjects who meet screening criteria and receive treatment with SC icatibant in the absence of a current acute HAE attack.

The planned duration of active participation for subjects who present with an initial attack of acute HAE will consist of treatment with a single subcutaneous injection of icatibant on Day 1 through follow up at day 90.

After having received initial treatment with icatibant, either during or in the absence of an attack, at least 10 pubertal/postpubertal subjects who subsequently experience an acute HAE attack may continue to receive treatment with icatibant as a single SC administration per attack for a total of 3 eligible icatibant-treated attacks.

The period of active participation in the study for prepubertal subjects will be approximately 90 days, while that for pubertal/postpubertal subjects could be a maximum of approximately 270 or 360 days (3 separate active periods of approximately 90 days for those treated with icatibant during an attack; 4 separate active periods for those treated without an attack), with each active period separated by periods of inactive participation of variable duration.

  11. Time to Use of Rescue Medication for the Treatment of Symptoms of the Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) Attack Following Study Drug Administration

    Rescue medication was any medication used after the administration of icatibant which, in the opinion of the investigator, was immediately necessary to alleviate acute symptoms which are judged by the investigator as resultant from the current HAE attack. Time to first use of rescue medication prior to the onset of symptom relief was calculated from the time of study drug administration to the first use of rescue medication prior to the onset of symptom relief. This analysis was not performed since as per protocol, "This analysis will only be performed if there are at least 5 participants for a given attack who used rescue medication prior to attaining symptom relief".
