Biological: C1 esterase inhibitor [human] (C1INH-nf) |
- Frequency of All HAE Attacks [ Time Frame: Duration of the study ]A hereditary angioedema (HAE) attack was defined as a discrete episode during which the subject progressed from no angioedema to symptoms of angioedema.
- Antigenic C1 Inhibitor (C1INH) Serum Levels [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion to 1 hour post-infusion ]Change from pre-infusion to 1 hour post-infusion in antigenic C1INH serum levels.
- Functional C1INH Serum Levels [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion to 1 hour post-infusion ]Change from pre-infusion to 1 hour post-infusion in functional C1INH serum levels. Functional C1INH serum levels are expressed as a percent of total detectable C1INH (i.e., functional C1INH/total detectable C1INH).
- Complement C4 Serum Levels [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion to 1 hour post-infusion ]Change from pre-infusion to 1 hour post-infusion in complement C4 serum levels.

- Had a known HAE-causing C1INH mutation, or
- Had a diagnosis of HAE based on a strong family history of HAE as determined by the principal investigator
Exclusion Criteria:
