Navenibart for Hereditary Angioedema
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of a treatment called navenibart for individuals with hereditary angioedema (HAE), a condition that causes severe swelling. The trial consists of two parts: initially, all participants receive a set dose of navenibart, and later, doses are adjusted based on individual needs. Participants will receive different dosing regimens, such as 300 mg or 600 mg, at varying intervals. This trial is suitable for those who participated in a previous study (STAR-0215-301) and have hereditary angioedema. As a Phase 3 trial, it represents the final step before FDA approval, offering participants a chance to contribute to potentially bringing a new treatment to market.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
You will need to stop taking any ACE inhibitors or estrogen-containing medications (like certain birth control pills or hormone therapies) at least 30 days before joining the trial. The protocol does not specify other medications, so it's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that navenibart is likely to be safe for humans?
A previous study found navenibart safe for patients, even at doses up to 1200 mg, with most participants experiencing no serious side effects. Research has shown that navenibart remains in the body for an extended period, helping to reduce the frequency and severity of hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks. Another study compared navenibart to a placebo, examining its safety and effectiveness in preventing HAE attacks. These studies suggest that navenibart is generally safe for individuals with HAE.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for hereditary angioedema?
Navenibart is unique because it offers a new dosing flexibility for treating hereditary angioedema, which could be more convenient for patients. Most current treatments for this condition, like C1 inhibitors or bradykinin receptor antagonists, require more frequent administrations. Navenibart allows for less frequent dosing, with options for either a 3-month or 6-month interval, potentially improving adherence and lifestyle for patients. Additionally, the option to adjust dosing based on age and specific needs could make it more adaptable to individual patient circumstances. Researchers are excited about the potential for Navenibart to simplify treatment regimens and enhance quality of life for patients.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for hereditary angioedema?
Research has shown that navenibart can significantly reduce the frequency and severity of hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks. This trial will test different dosing regimens of navenibart, allowing participants to receive it every 3 or 6 months. Studies have found that navenibart helps prevent these attacks for extended periods. The treatment is generally safe and well-tolerated. Participants in those studies experienced fewer HAE attacks and required less emergency medication during attacks. Overall, navenibart offers hope for lasting relief from HAE symptoms.13467
