Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Part 1: The Rate of Investigator-confirmed HAE Attacks During Dosing in the Entire 24-week Treatment Period (Day 1 to Day 168)
Treatment comparisons between each berotralstat dose and placebo in the rate of investigator-confirmed HAE attacks during the Part 1 dosing period were analyzed using a negative binomial model. The number of investigator-confirmed attacks was included as the dependent variable, the treatment was included as a fixed effect, the stratification variable (baseline attack rate) was included as a covariate, and the logarithm of duration on treatment was included as an offset variable. The estimated attack rate for each treatment group, the treatment differences expressed as the attack rate ratio (berotralstat over placebo rate ratio), and the associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were provided from the negative binomial model.
24 weeks
Part 2 & 3: To Evaluate the Long-term Safety and Tolerability of Berotralstat 110 and 150 mg in Subjects With HAE
The safety data was assessed for the safety population, for subjects who entered Part 2 and Part 3, and includes TEAEs that began in Part 2 or 3, respectively, for these subjects. Safety data for Part 2 and Part 3 is combined to clearly show TEAEs occurring in subjects as the proceeded through the 2 study parts. TEAEs are defined as AEs that occurred on or after first dose of study treatment, whether in Part 1 or 2, and were assigned to the relevant treatment depending on when the TEAE began (Part 2 or Part 3 treatment). No statistical analysis was performed on this safety data.
Part 2: 24 weeks (Days 169 to 337). Part 3: 48 weeks (Days 338 to 674).

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- A clinical diagnosis of hereditary angioedema Type 1 or Type 2, defined as having a C1-INH functional level and a C4 level below the lower limit of the normal (LLN) reference range, as assessed during the Screening period.
- Subject weight of ≥ 40 kg
- Access to and ability to use one or more acute medications approved by the relevant competent authority for the treatment of acute attacks of HAE
- Subjects must be medically appropriate for on-demand treatment as the sole medicinal management for their HAE during the study.
- Subjects must have a specified number of investigator-confirmed attacks during the run-in period of a maximum of 56 days from the Screening visit.
- Acceptable effective contraception
- Written informed consent
You may not qualify if:
- Pregnancy or breast-feeding
- Any clinically significant medical condition or medical history that, in the opinion of the Investigator or Sponsor, would interfere with the subject's safety or ability to participate in the study
- Any laboratory parameter abnormality that, in the opinion of the Investigator, is clinically significant and relevant for this study
- Severe hypersensitivity to multiple medicinal products or severe hypersensitivity/ anaphylaxis with unclear etiology
- Use of C1-INH within 14 days or use of androgens or tranexamic acid within 28 days prior to the Screening visit for prophylaxis of HAE attacks, or initiation of these drugs during the study
- Current participation in any other investigational drug study or received another investigational drug within 30 days of the Screening visit
- Prior enrollment in a BCX7353 study
