Subjects were given diary cards and instructed to document all HAE attacks on a daily basis. Subjects evaluated their symptoms over the previous 24 hours, noting the severity and duration of swelling at each of 5 locations (abdominal, genitourinary, facial, respiratory [including laryngeal], and/or extremity).~The study design also allowed for administration of open-label C1INH-nf (1,000 U of C1INH-nf administered IV [repeated after 60 minutes, if necessary] for treatment of laryngeal angioedema or if deemed necessary by the investigator; 1,000 U of C1INH-nf administered IV [single dose] prior to emergency surgical procedures).~A total of 26 subjects were enrolled in the study. One subject received open-label C1INH-nf but withdrew prior to randomization. Another subject was randomized but withdrew prior to receiving study drug. Twenty-four (24) subjects were randomized and treated with blinded study drug. In total, 25 subjects received at least 1 dose of study drug and were analyzed for safety; all 25 subjects were exposed to C1INH-nf and 23 subjects were exposed to placebo.
The study objective was to determine the safety and efficacy of C1INH-nf for the prevention of acute HAE attacks.
