• 1 other identifier: HAE3973g
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 50
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

This is a Phase II, multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, multiple-dose study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of subcutaneously administered HAE1 in subjects 12-75 years old with moderate to severe asthma whose symptoms are inadequately controlled with moderate to high-dose ICS and LABA.

Conditions

Allergic Asthma

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The primary outcome measure is the change from baseline (Visit 1) in total asthma symptom score to Visit 10 (Day 140).

Secondary Outcomes (6)

• Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events and targeted adverse events and incidence of HAE-1 specific antibodies from Visit 1 to the end of the study

• Change from baseline (Visit 1) in asthma symptom scores (nocturnal, morning, daytime, and total) at Visits 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 (Days 28, 56, 84, 112, and 140)

• Change from baseline (Visit 1) in the number of puffs per day of beta2-agonist rescue medication at Visits 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 (Days 28, 56, 84, 112, and 140)

• The rate of asthma exacerbations at Visit 10

• Change from baseline (Visit 1) in the ACQ at Visits 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 (Days 28, 56, 84, 112, 140, 168, 196, 224, and 252)

Interventions

HAE1 (PRO98498) DRUG
