Hereditary Angioedema Pediatric | Drug: Berotralstat | Phase 3 |
This is a single-arm, open-label study designed to evaluate the PK and safety of berotralstat weight-based treatment for the prevention of hereditary angioedema attacks in pediatric participants 2 to < 12 years of age. This study will consist of two treatment periods: a 12-week standard-of-care (SOC) treatment period followed by an open-label berotralstat treatment period lasting up to 144 weeks.
Participants will be enrolled into 4 dose cohorts; participant weight will be 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 will then be used to confirm the weight bands for sequentially enrolling Cohorts 3 and 4.The effectiveness of berotralstat in this population will be summarized using descriptive statistical methods.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 30 participants |
Allocation: | N/A |
Intervention Model: | Single Group Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | This is a sequential, three-part, open-label study. Minimum participation in this study is expected to be 24 weeks in the SOC treatment period through Part 1 of the study and up to an additional 132 weeks in Parts 2 and 3. |
Masking: | None (Open Label) |

Official Title: | A Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Berotralstat Prophylaxis in Children With Hereditary Angioedema Who Are 2 to < 12 Years of Age |
Actual Study Start Date : | October 25, 2022 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Berotralstat
Berotralstat administered once daily in 4 dose cohorts determined by participant weight. Cohorts 1 and 2 will enroll in parallel. After 4 participants from Cohort 1 and 2, with ≥ 2 subjects from Cohort 2, have reached Week 2, Cohort 3 will open for enrollment. Cohort 4 will open for enrollment, after ≥ 4 subjects in Cohort 3 have reached Week 2. Prior to dosing Cohort 3 and 4, available PK and safety data will be reviewed to confirm it is safe to proceed and the appropriate weight bands for each. BioCryst will notify sites when Cohorts 3 and 4 are open for enrollment.
