Study Description

Brief Summary:

The main aim of the study is to check for side effects from icatibant in children and teenagers with hereditary angioedema (HAE). Other aims are to check how well icatibant controls HAE symptoms in these children and teenagers, and how much icatibant stays in their blood.

At the first visit, the study doctor will check if each child or teenager can take part. For those who can take part, participants and their parents or caregivers will visit the clinic or hospital when they have their next HAE attack. Participants will receive 1 injection (shot) of icatibant in a vein and will stay at the clinic or hospital until their HAE symptoms are under control. Participants can receive up to 2 more injections of icatibant over time if their HAE symptoms don't improve or get worse.

After the participants go home, the study staff will follow up with them by a telephone call 1 to 2 days later. Then, the participants will visit the clinic or hospital 1 week after they received the icatabant injection.

The participant can visit the clinic or hospital and be treated with icatibant in the same way for up to 3 HAE attacks in total.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Hereditary Angioedema	Drug: TAK-667	Phase 3

Detailed Description:

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-667. TAK-667 is being tested to treat Japanese Children and Adolescents who experience acute attack of HAE. This study will look at safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) of people who take TAK-667.

The study will enroll at least up to 3 participants. Participants will take TAK-667 with SC administration on the abdomen. The dose of TAK-667 will be dependent on the participant's body weight (Up to 30 mg; 10 mg for 12 kg to 25 kg, 15 mg for 26 kg to 40 kg, 20 mg for 41 kg to 50kg, 25 mg for 51 kg to 65 kg, 30 mg for >65 kg).

This multi-center trial will be conducted in Japan. The overall time to participate in this study is 25 days as a maximum (screening day for initial attack plus 8 days post dose for each 3 attacks as a maximum). Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic and will be closely monitored in the hospital/study center for at least 8 hours after administration and receive physical examination and assessment to evaluate safety, efficacy and PK. Hospitalization may be prolonged until, in the opinion of the investigator, the participant is clinically stable and onset of HAE attack is completely resolved.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 6 months ]
   An adverse event (AE) means any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product; the untoward medical occurrence does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product whether or not it is related to the medicinal product. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was defined as any adverse event occurring after the start of Icatibant administration of the treatment period.
2. Number of Participants With Injection Site Reactions [ Time Frame: Postdose, up to Day 8 ]
   Injection sites were examined for erythema, swelling, cutaneous pain, burning sensation, itching/pruritus, and warm sensation. Data for injection site reactions were collected separately from general reports of AEs. As pre-defined in the protocol, an injection site reaction not meeting SAE criteria was not required to be reported additionally as an AE.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One TEAE Related to Resting 12-lead Electrocardiogram [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 6 months ]
   An AE means any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product; the untoward medical occurrence does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product whether or not it is related to the medicinal product. A TEAE was defined as any AE occurring after the start of Icatibant administration of the Treatment Period. A resting 12-lead ECG was recorded and reported for participants shifts from within normal limits at baseline to abnormal, but not clinically significant, or abnormal and clinically significant after study drug administration.
2. Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One TEAE Related to Vital Sign [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 6 months ]
   An AE means any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product; the untoward medical occurrence does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product whether or not it is related to the medicinal product. A TEAE was defined as any AE occurring after the start of Icatibant administration of the Treatment Period. Vital signs included body temperature (oral), sitting blood pressure (after 5 minutes resting), respiration rate and pulse (beats per minute [bpm]).
3. Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One TEAE Related to Clinical Laboratory Parameters [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 6 months ]
   An AE means any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product; the untoward medical occurrence does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product whether or not it is related to the medicinal product. A TEAE was defined as any AE occurring after the start of Icatibant administration of the Treatment Period. The laboratory parameters included hematology, serum chemistries, and urinalysis.
4. Number of Participants Who Experience at Least One TEAE Related to Clinically Significant Changes in Reproductive Hormones [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 6 months ]
   An AE means any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product; the untoward medical occurrence does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product whether or not it is related to the medicinal product. A TEAE was defined as any AE occurring after the start of Icatibant administration of the Treatment Period. Blood samples were collected to assess follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, and progesterone in females, and FSH, LH, and testosterone in males.
5. Number of Participants Who Reported Presence of Anti-icatibant Antibodies [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 6 months ]
   Serum samples for immunogenicity testing were collected for determination of anti-icatibant antibodies. If hypersensitivity was observed, it was reported as an AEs of special interest. An AE means any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product; the untoward medical occurrence does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product whether or not it is related to the medicinal product.
6. Time to Onset of Symptom Relief With Investigator-Rated Symptom Scores Assessed by Investigator [ Time Frame: Baseline, and post dose on Day 1 ]
   The time to onset of symptom relief, defined as the duration of time in hours from the time of icatibant administration to the earliest time at which at least a 20% improvement is observed in the average post-treatment score with no worsening of any single component score. Investigator-rated symptom score was used for assessment and scoring of cutaneous, abdominal, and laryngeal symptoms of acute HAE attacks related to daily activities. The score ranged from 0 to 4 and each number of scores meant the following: 0 = none; absence of symptoms, 1 = mild (no to mild interference with daily activities), 2 = moderate (moderate interference with daily activities), 3 = severe (severe interference with daily activities), 4 = very severe (very severe interference with daily activities).
7. Time to Onset of Symptom Relief With Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) Scores for Participants of 4 Years Age and Older [ Time Frame: Baseline, and post dose on Day 1 ]
   The time to onset of symptom relief, defined as the duration of time in hours from the time of icatibant administration to the earliest time at which the post-treatment score improved by at least 1 level. Participants of 4 years age and older self-assessed their HAE-related pain using the FPS-R instrument. FPS-R is a self-reported measure used to assess the intensity of children's pain and it is scored using a 0 to 10 scale (0=no pain to 10=very much pain).
8. Time to Onset of Symptom Relief by Faces, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) Scale Assessed by Investigator for Participants of Younger Than 4 Years Age [ Time Frame: Baseline, and post dose on Day 1 ]
   The time to onset of symptom relief, defined as the earliest time at which a 20% improvement is observed in the total post-treatment score. Participants of younger than 4 years age underwent investigator assessment of HAE-related pain (cutaneous, abdominal, and laryngeal) using the FLACC compartmental pain scale. Each of the 5 categories were scored from 0 to 2. Face(F): 0 (no particular expression/smile) - 2 (frequent to constant frown clenched jaw quivering chin); Legs(L): 0 (normal position/relaxed) - 2 (kicking/legs drawn up); Activity(A): 0 (lying quietly, normal position, moves easily) - 2 (arched rigid/jerking); Cry(C): 0 (No cry [awake/asleep]) - 2 (crying steadily/screams/sobs or frequent complaints); Consolability(C): 0 (content/relaxed) - 2 (difficult to console/comfort), resulting in a total score between 0 and 10.
9. Number of Participants Who Were Treated With Rescue Medication During Study [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 6 months ]
   Rescue medication included therapies for HAE used for HAE attack and symptomatic treatment used in order to improve symptoms of angioedema (eg, pain and nausea).
10. Number of Participants With Worsened Intensity of Clinical HAE Symptoms Between 2 and 4 Hours After Treatment With SC Icatibant Using Investigator-Rated Symptom Scores [ Time Frame: From 2 hours post-dose to 4 hours post-dose ]
    Investigator-rated symptom score was used for assessment and scoring of cutaneous, abdominal, and laryngeal symptoms of acute HAE attacks related to daily activities. The score ranged from 0 to 4 and each number of scores means following; 0 = none; absence of symptoms, 1 = mild (no to mild interference with daily activities), 2 = moderate (moderate interference with daily activities), 3 = severe (severe interference with daily activities), 4 = very severe (very severe interference with daily activities).
11. Time to Initial Symptom Improvement Reported by Investigator [ Time Frame: Up to 8 hours post dose (or till the onset of HAE attacks were resolved) ]
    Time to initial symptom improvement reported by investigator, was defined as the duration of time in hours from icatibant administration until the time when overall participant improvement was first noted by investigator.
12. Time to Initial Symptom Improvement Reported by Participant [ Time Frame: Up to 8 hours post dose (or till the onset of HAE attacks were resolved) ]
