Table 3.
Treatment doses | Subjects | Efficacy results | Safety results | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Phase II | 100 U/kg within 8 hours of attack onset | 9 subjects with 13 severe attacks | 80% achieved symptom relief in 2 hours and minimal symptoms by 12 hours | No drug-related adverse events or immunogenic reactions | ||
Time to symptom relief (min) | Time to minimal symptoms (min) | Treatment failure | No postexposure antibody response against either rhC1-INH or rabbit-related impurities | |||
Phase III | Saline | n = 29 | 495 | 1220 | 59% | |
50 U/kg | n = 12 | 122 | 247 | 0% | ||
100 U/kg | n = 29 | 66 | 266 | 10%* |
Note:
The larger 95% CI of the odds ratios for the 50 U/kg group compared with that for the 100 U/kg group suggests no real difference in the percentage of therapeutic failures in either treatment group, which is in agreement with open label data.
