A Study of Lanadelumab in Teenagers and Adults With Hereditary Angioedema (HAE)

Number of HAE attacks (both total [including untreated] and those requiring on-demand treatment) will be estimated across the pre- and post-treatment periods (that is, 12 months before and up to 24 months after initiation of treatment with lanadelumab).

Demographic characteristics will include age, sex, and ethnic group at index.

Clinical characteristics will include categories of participant-reported age at onset of symptoms, age at diagnosis of HAE, duration of time from onset to diagnosis (i.e., the diagnostic delay), body mass index (BMI) (at index); comorbidities (pre and post index), history of laryngeal attacks (pre index), type of HAE (type I and II), and triggers for HAE symptoms onset (at index and post index). Index is defined as the lanadelumab treatment initiation day.

Treatment patterns will include categories of the summary of participant-reported duration of lanadelumab treatment, treatment dose given to participants, and participant with switching patterns with lanadelumab on occurence of HAE attacks.

Patterns of prophylactic treatment will include categories of the summary of participant-reported use of brand and drug name, duration of treatment, dose of the treatment within same class of prophylactic treatments.

To compare the number clinical features of HAE attacks before and after initiation of lanadelumab. Clinical features of HAE attacks will include categories of summary of participant-reported time of attack, duration of attack, location (e.g., trunk, extremities, and larynx) of HAE attack, the severity (Grade 1 [Mild], Grade 2 [Moderate], and Grade 3 [Severe]) of HAE attack, and hospitalization due to the HAE attack.

Clinical features of self-reported HAE attacks will include categories of summary of participant-reported time of attack, duration of attack, location (e.g., trunk, extremities, and larynx) of HAE attack, the severity (Grade 1 [Mild], Grade 2 [Moderate], and Grade 3 [Severe]) of HAE attack, symptoms of HAE attack (e.g., tiredness, abdominal pain, and abdominal swelling), and identified or suspected trigger(s) for the attack (e.g., contact with chemicals, drugs, or foods).

The EQ-5D-5L questionnaire will be used to record impact of HAE on participant's quality-of-life (QoL). The EQ-5D-5L is a descriptive system of Health-Related Quality-of-Life (HRQoL) states consisting of 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression), each of which can take 1 of 5 responses. The responses record 5 levels of severity [no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems] within a particular dimension. The scores will be the sum of scores from each dimension and can range from 5 (no problems) to 25 (extreme problems). Higher score indicated a worsening health condition.

The EQ-5D-3L VAS records the participant's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale, where the endpoints are labelled 'The best health you can imagine' and 'The worst health you can imagine'. The VAS is used as a quantitative measure of health outcome that reflect the participant's own judgement score, with a score of 0 as the worst and 100 as the best possible health.

AE-QoL is a self-administered instrument designed to measure HRQoL in adult participants with recurrent angioedema. The AE-QoL consists of 17 disease-specific quality-of-life items, to produce a total AE-QoL score and 4 domain scores (functioning, fatigue/mood, fears/shame, and food, Each of the 17 items has a five-point response scale ranging from 1 (Never) to 5 (Very Often).

Healthcare resources used during medical encounters include in and out-patient visits to physicians, hospital admissions, in and out-patient emergency care, and in and out-patient clinical examinations and tests.

The AECT is used to assess participants with recurrent angioedema. The test uses a questionnaire with 4 items, each of which has 5 options and is used to measure the participant's current disease control. HAE control score will be recorded with 5 levels of answers [1=very often, 2=often, 3=sometimes, 4=seldom, 5=not at all] to the following questions: 1) In the last 3 months, how often have you had angioedema? 2) In the last 3 months, how much has your QoL been affected by angioedema? 3) In the last 3 months, how much has the unpredictability of your angioedema bothered you? 4) In the last 3 months, how well has your angioedema been controlled by your therapy?

The TSQM comprises 14 items across four domains focusing on effectiveness (three items), side effects (five items), convenience (three items), and global satisfaction (three items) of the medication over the previous 2-3 weeks, or since the patient's last use. With the exception of item 4 (presence of side effects; yes or no), all items have five or seven responses, scored from one (least satisfied) to five or seven (most satisfied). The 7-item scales had a non-neutral midpoint, such that there were more positive response options than negative response options, to allow for precise information to be obtained at the upper end of the score distribution. Item scores are summed to give four domain scores, which are in turn transformed to a scale of 0-100.
