Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and effectiveness of berotralstat to determine the appropriate weight-based dose for pediatric participants 2 to \< 12 years of age for prophylactic treatment to prevent attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE).

Detailed description

This is a single-arm, 3-part, open-label study designed to evaluate the PK, safety, and effectiveness of berotralstat weight-based treatment for the prevention of HAE attacks in pediatric participants 2 to \< 12 years of age. Participation in this study is expected to be a minimum of 12 weeks in the standard of care (SOC) period, and in the berotralstat period, it is expected to be 12 weeks in Part 1, 36 weeks in Part 2, and 96 weeks in Part 3 of the study. Participants were enrolled into 4 cohorts; participant weight at baseline was used to determine assignment to each cohort with the higher weight cohorts (Cohorts 1 and 2) enrolling first and in parallel. Safety assessments and PK modelling from all available PK data were then used to confirm the dose and weight bands for sequentially enrolling Cohorts 3 and 4. The safety and effectiveness of berotralstat in this population was summarized using descriptive statistical methods.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)From first dose of study treatment up to approximately 73 weeksAn adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant. No causal relationship with study drug or with the clinical study itself is implied. An AE could be an unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom (including an abnormal laboratory finding), syndrome, or illness that developed or worsened during the clinical study. A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence resulting in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or other medically important event. TEAEs are AEs that occurred on/after first dose of berotralstat through 30 days post discontinuation of study treatment.
Number of Adjusted Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) AttacksWeek 1 through Week 12 and Week 1 through Week 48Adjusted attacks included at least 1 symptom of swelling, had a response of "no" to the diary question: "In retrospect, could there be an alternative explanation for your symptoms other than an HAE attack (that is, allergic reaction, viral cold etc.)?",were considered unique (attack began \> 24 hours from the end of the prior attack), and if the entire adjusted attack was untreated, it had a duration of \> 24 hours. Any attack that began within 24 hours from the end of a prior attack was combined with the prior attack.
Rate of Adjusted HAE AttacksWeek 1 through Week 12 and Week 1 through Week 48Adjusted attacks included at least 1 symptom of swelling, had a response of "no" to the diary question: "In retrospect, could there be an alternative explanation for your symptoms other than an HAE attack (that is, allergic reaction, viral cold etc.)?",were considered unique (attack began \> 24 hours from the end of the prior attack), and if the entire adjusted attack was untreated, it had a duration of \> 24 hours. Any attack that began within 24 hours from the end of a prior attack was combined with the prior attack. The adjusted attack rate was calculated as the number of adjusted attacks observed during a given period and standardized to number of attacks per month, where 1 month is defined as a 28-day (4 week) period.
Duration of Adjusted HAE Attack SymptomsWeek 1 through Week 12 and Week 1 through Week 48Adjusted attacks included at least 1 symptom of swelling, had a response of "no" to the diary question: "In retrospect, could there be an alternative explanation for your symptoms other than an HAE attack (that is, allergic reaction, viral cold etc.)?",were considered unique (attack began \> 24 hours from the end of the prior attack), and if the entire adjusted attack was untreated, it had a duration of \> 24 hours. Any attack that began within 24 hours from the end of a prior attack was combined with the prior attack. The duration of each participant-reported attack was calculated in hours, based on the start, and stop date and time of the adjusted attack (time the attack finished).
Incidence of Adjusted HAE Attack Based on Anatomical LocationWeek 1 through Week 12 and Week 1 through Week 48Adjusted attacks were assessed based on anatomical location. Adjusted attacks included at least 1 symptom of swelling, had a response of "no" to the diary question: "In retrospect, could there be an alternative explanation for your symptoms other than an HAE attack (that is, allergic reaction, viral cold etc.)?", were considered unique (attack began \> 24 hours from the end of the prior attack), and if the entire adjusted attack was untreated, it had a duration of \> 24 hours. Any attack that began within 24 hours from the end of a prior attack was combined with the prior attack. Anatomical locations were categorized as abdominal-only, non-abdominal peripheral, mixed, and laryngeal attacks.
Number of Adjusted Attacks Requiring On-Demand TreatmentWeek 1 through Week 12 and Week 1 through Week 48Adjusted attacks included at least 1 symptom of swelling, had a response of "no" to the diary question: "In retrospect, could there be an alternative explanation for your symptoms other than an HAE attack (that is, allergic reaction, viral cold etc.)?", were considered unique (attack began \> 24 hours from the end of the prior attack), and if the entire adjusted attack was untreated, it had a duration of \> 24 hours. Any attack that began within 24 hours from the end of a prior attack was combined with the prior attack. Number of adjusted attacks treated with targeted HAE medications was assessed.
Proportion of Adjusted Attacks Requiring On-Demand TreatmentWeek 1 through Week 12 and Week 1 through Week 48Adjusted attacks included at least 1 symptom of swelling, had a response of "no" to the diary question: "In retrospect, could there be an alternative explanation for your symptoms other than an HAE attack (that is, allergic reaction, viral cold etc.)?", were considered unique (attack began \> 24 hours from the end of the prior attack), and if the entire adjusted attack was untreated, it had a duration of \> 24 hours. Any attack that began within 24 hours from the end of a prior attack was combined with the prior attack. Proportion of adjusted attacks treated with targeted HAE medications was assessed.
Number of Days With Angioedema SymptomsWeek 1 through Week 12 and Week 1 through Week 48Adjusted attacks included at least 1 symptom of swelling, had a response of "no" to the diary question: "In retrospect, could there be an alternative explanation for your symptoms other than an HAE attack (that is, allergic reaction, viral cold etc)?",were considered unique (attack began \> 24 hours from the end of the prior attack),and if the entire adjusted attack was untreated, it had a duration of \> 24 hours. Any attack that began within 24 hours from the end of a prior attack was combined with the prior attack. The number of days with angioedema symptoms is the number of the days during the reporting period for which at least 1 symptom is reported during an adjusted HAE attack based on the start date and resolution date of an attack.
Proportion of Days With Angioedema SymptomsWeek 1 through Week 12 and Week 1 through Week 48Adjusted attacks included at least 1 symptom of swelling, had a response of "no" to the diary question: "In retrospect, could there be an alternative explanation for your symptoms other than an HAE attack (that is, allergic reaction, viral cold etc)?",were considered unique (attack began \> 24 hours from the end of the prior attack),and if the entire adjusted attack was untreated, it had a duration of \> 24 hours. Any attack that began within 24 hours from the end of a prior attack was combined with the prior attack. The proportion of days with angioedema symptoms was based on the number of days with reported symptoms and the number of days the participant was on treatment, where the number of days with angioedema symptoms is the number of the days during the reporting period for which at least 1 symptom is reported during an adjusted HAE attack based on the start date and resolution date of an attack.
Assessment of Adjusted HAE Attack SeverityWeek 1 through Week 12 and Week 1 through Week 48Adjusted attacks included at least 1 symptom of swelling, had a response of "no" to the diary question: "In retrospect, could there be an alternative explanation for your symptoms other than an HAE attack (that is, allergic reaction, viral cold etc.)?", were considered unique (attack began \> 24 hours from the end of the prior attack), and if the entire adjusted attack was untreated, it had a duration of \> 24 hours. Any attack that began within 24 hours from the end of a prior attack was combined with the prior attack. The severity was assessed by the parent/caregiver as negligible, mild, moderate or severe.
Number of Participants Who Discontinued Treatment Due to Perceived Lack of EfficacyWeek 1 through Week 12 and Week 1 through Week 48The total number of participants who discontinued the treatment due to perceived lack of efficacy of berotralstat were reported.
Number of Hospitalizations and Clinic Visits Due to HAEWeek 1 through Week 12 and Week 1 through Week 48Adjusted attacks included at least 1 symptom of swelling, had a response of "no" to the diary question: "In retrospect, could there be an alternative explanation for your symptoms other than an HAE attack (that is, allergic reaction, viral cold etc.)?", were considered unique (attack began \> 24 hours from the end of the prior attack), and if the entire adjusted attack was untreated, it had a duration of \> 24 hours. Any attack that began within 24 hours from the end of a prior attack was combined with the prior attack. Number of adjusted attacks that required hospitalization or clinic visits are reported.
