Number of Confirmed HAE Attacks
Query!
Assessment method [1]
0
0
Efficacy was evaluated by the number of acute angioedema attacks. To ensure that consistent, objective assessments were used in accepting subject-reported attack data, a panel of expert physicians in the treatment of HAE patients adjudicated all subject-reported attacks prior to their inclusion in primary efficacy analyses.

HAE Disease Activity - Modified Angioedema Activity Score
Query!
Assessment method [4]
0
0
Activity of disease (i.e. disease severity) was assessed using a modified Angioedema Activity Score (AAS). The relevant endpoint for this study was the total modified AAS score, defined as the sum of the individual scores for 4 AAS domains (daily activities, appearance, physical discomfort, and overall severity) for all subject-reported attacks reported during the treatment period. Individual domain scores were based on answers to questions each of which had 4 possible responses scored 0-3 (0 - no impact; 1-3 - increasing levels of impact). The total modified AAS score per attack could range from 0 to 12; lower scores \& higher scores represent lower \& higher disease activities, respectively. However, the overall total modified AAS score reported for this study included the total scores for all subject-reported attacks, therefore the upper limit of the range was subject-specific. The statistical analysis of the total modified AAS scores for the treatment period is presented below.

Angioedema Quality of Life (AE-QoL)
Query!
Assessment method [5]
0
0
Quality of Life (QoL) specific to hereditary angioedema (HAE) was assessed at baseline and Day 29 by a questionnaire (i.e. AE-QoL) consisting of 17 questions that spanned 4 domains (functioning, fatigue/mood, fear/shame, and nutrition). Each AE-QoL question had 5 answer options (scored 1-5), with lower and higher scores indicting less and more adverse impact, respectively. Per-subject scores for each domain were computed using the appropriate scoring algorithm applied to the question response scores for each domain. Per-subject total scores (including all 4 domains) were similarly computed using the question response scores for all 17 questions. The outputs from the scoring algorithm were normalized on a scale ranging from 0 (less adverse impact) to 100 (most adverse impact). The statistical analysis of the AE-QoL total score change from baseline to Day 29 is presented below.

DASS (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales)
Query!
Assessment method [6]
0
0
The Depression, Anxiety \& Stress Scale (DASS) was used to measure the negative emotional states of depression, anxiety \& stress. This assessment was based on a DASS questionnaire administered at baseline, Day 14 \& Day 29. The questionnaire consisted of 3 DASS scales (depression, anxiety \& stress) containing 14 items each on a scale of 0 to 3 (0, did not apply to me at all; 1, applied to me to some degree/some of the time; 2, applied to me to a considerable degree/a good part of the time; 3, applied to me very much or most of the time). Per-subject scores for the depression, anxiety \& stress scales were obtained by summing the scores for the appropriate questionnaire items for the respective category. Total DASS scores were then derived as the sum of the 3 individual scales \& ranged from 0 to 126. Higher \& lower total scores are associated with more \& less adverse impact, respectively. The statistical analysis of the total DASS score change from baseline to Day 29 is presented below.

Summary
Brief summary
This 3-part study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of an oral treatment, BCX7353, in preventing angioedema attacks in subjects with hereditary angioedema (HAE). In Part 1 of the study, eligible subjects will be randomized to receive oral BCX7353 or placebo for 4 weeks. Assuming successful completion of Part 1, additional subjects will be randomized in Part 2 to one of 2 lower doses of BCX7353 or placebo. Part 3 will enroll additional subjects into one of three doses of BCX7353 or placebo. The study will compare the number of acute attacks in each treatment group, as well as a number of other clinical and pharmacologic outcomes, and the safety and tolerability of each dose of BCX7353 compared to placebo.
