Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The overall hospitalizations for a diagnosis of angioedema doubled from the year 2000 to 2009. Although some of the cases represented hereditary angioedema or ace-inhibitor induced angioedema, the majority of episodes were idiopathic. Idiopathic Angioedema (IAE) can be life- threatening especially when affecting tissues within the respiratory tract. No clear guidelines exist for management of this important condition for clinicians. Current therapies typically include avoidance of potential triggers and use of medications either for prophylaxis or for acute events, such as antihistamines, corticosteroids, and epinephrine. There remains a critical need for therapeutic options to provide more effective prophylaxis.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 4

Detailed Description

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial which will study the effects of omalizumab on patients with 2 or more episodes of Idiopathic Angioedema (IAE) in the past 6 months, despite current therapy. This study has three periods; screening, treatment, and follow-up. Subjects in the screening period will be consented and screened for eligibility criteria. 40 qualified individuals will enter the treatment period. Individuals will be randomized to either monthly subcutaneous administration of omalizumab 300mg (20 subjects) versus monthly placebo injection (20 subjects) in addition to their previously prescribed management plan for a total of 6 months. Individuals will then enter a follow-up period of 4 months. Study visits will occur monthly during the treatment period for update of clinical status and administration of omalizumab/placebo injection. After, the treatment period individuals will be seen twice for follow-up period. The entire study will consist of 10 study visits and will last approx. 10 months.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Placebo Comparator: Placebo

Placebo contains sodium chloride 0.9% and will be provided by Novartis. Placebo will be administered as a subcutaneous injection.

Drug: Placebos
Placebo Group (Sodium Chloride 0.9%) two 1.2mL subcutaneous injections once monthly for 6 months.

Active Comparator: Omalizumab

Omalizumab is a sterile, white, preservative-free, lyophilized powder, contained in a single-use vial that will be reconstituted with sterile water for injection (SWFI), USP, and administered as a subcutaneous injection. Each omalizumab vial contains 202.5 mg of omalizumab, 145.5 mg sucrose, 2.8 mg L-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate, 1.8 mg L-histidine, and 0.5 mg polysorbate 20. Each vial is designed to deliver 150 mg of omalizumab in 1.2 mL after reconstitution with 1.4 mL SWFI, USP.

Drug: Omalizumab
Omalizumab 300mg subcutaneous injection once monthly for 6 months. Total dose will be divided into two 150mg/1.2mL injections.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Mean 7-day Angioedema Activity Score (AAS7) [baseline to end of treatment period at 6 months]

      The AAS7 Score is a measure of the frequency and intensity of angioedema episodes. The total possible range of scores over 7 days is 0-15 (mean day sum score) where higher scores indicate increased angioedema activity.

    2. Presence of a 7-day Angioedema Activity Score (AAS7) Greater Than 0 Across All Treatment Visits [across all visits during treatment period (up to 6 months)]

      The AAS7 Score is a measure of the frequency and intensity of angioedema episodes. The total possible range of scores over 7 days is 0-15 (mean day sum score) where higher scores indicate increased angioedema activity.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Mean Angioedema Quality of Life (AE-QoL) Questionnaire [baseline to end of treatment period at 6 months]

      The AE-QoL Questionnaire is a 17-item survey, the total possible range of scores is transformed to a scale of 1-100 where higher score indicate increased impairment.

    2. Mean Angioedema Quality of Life (AE-QoL) Questionnaire Across All Treatment Visits [across all visits during treatment period (up to 6 months)]

      The AE-QoL Questionnaire is a 17-item survey, the total possible range of scores is transformed to a scale of 1-100 where higher score indicate increased impairment.

    3. Mean Visual Analog Scale [baseline to end of treatment period at 6 months]

      The effect of treatment compared to placebo on the change in IAE severity from baseline to the end of the treatment period as recorded on a 0-100 visual analog scale. Lower numbers indicate increased severity.

    4. Presence of Visual Analog Scale Less Than 100 Across All Treatment Visits [across all visits during treatment period (up to 6 months)]

      The effect of treatment compared to placebo on the change in IAE severity from baseline to the end of the treatment period as recorded on a 0-100 visual analog scale. Lower numbers indicate increased severity.

    5. Mean Number of IAE Events [baseline to end of treatment period at 6 months]

      baseline measure is the mean number of IAE events 6 months prior to study

    6. Number of IAE Events Across All Treatment Visits [across all visits during treatment period (up to 6 months)]

    7. Change in Duration of IAE Episodes [baseline to end of treatment period at 6 months]

      Duration of IAE Episodes is participant reported for the 6 months prior to study (baseline) and again at the 6 month time point for the time on study.

    8. Number of Participants Who Visited Urgent Care or Emergency Room [baseline, end of treatment period at 6 months, follow up at 9 months]

      Count of participants who visited urgent care or the emergency room is participant reported. The baseline measure is for the 6 months prior to study, at the 6 month time point for the time on study, and the 9 month time point for the previous 3 months on study.

    9. Number of Participants Who Used Rescue Medication or Corticosteroids [baseline, end of treatment period at 6 months, follow up at 9 months]
