Open-label, Phase II, Single Arm Study to Evaluate the Safety, Immunogenicity, Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of Recombinant Human C1 Inhibitor for the Treatment of Acute Attacks in Pediatric Patients With Hereditary Angioedema, From 2 up to and Including 13 Years of Age

This open-label study is being conducted to confirm the safety, pharmacokinetic profile and
efficacy of Ruconest at a dose of 50 U/kg when used for the treatment of acute angioedema
attacks in patients, from 2 up to and including 13 years of age.

This study was an open-label, Phase 2, non-comparative, multinational, multicenter clinical
study in pediatric patients from 2 up to and including 13 years of age, with a confirmed
diagnosis of HAE. Patients were eligible for treatment with rhC1INH if they presented to the
clinic within 5 hours of onset with an acute attack of at least moderate severity without
signs of spontaneous regression. Patients received rhC1INH at a dose of 50 U/kg body weight
up to a maximum of 4200 U. The reconstituted solution was administered as a slow intravenous
(iv) injection over approximately 5 minutes. The patients remained in hospital and were
closely monitored in the study center for at least 4 hours after study medication
administration.

Inclusion Criteria:

- From 2 up to and including 13 years of age

- Clinical and laboratory confirmed diagnosis of HAE (baseline C1INH activity <50% of
normal)

- Signed written informed consent (parental permission) signed by the legal guardian(s)

- Clinical symptoms of an acute HAE attack

- Onset of eligible symptoms within 5 hours from the moment at which medical evaluation
to determine eligibility has occurred

- Attack severity moderate or greater, as rated by the investigator

Exclusion Criteria:

- A diagnosis of acquired C1INH deficiency (AAE)

- A medical history of allergy to rabbits or rabbit-derived products or positive
anti-rabbit epithelium (dander) IgE test
