Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Subjects ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent.\n- Follow-On Dosing Substudy: 6. Female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use a protocol-specified highly effective method of contraception (see Section 10.5) from completion of the substudy informed consent process through 7 months after study drug administration\n- Follow-On Dosing Substudy: 7. Must agree not to participate in another interventional study for the duration of this substudy\n- Male subjects with partners of childbearing potential must agree to using a condom as of the date of informed consent and for 4 months after study drug administration.\n- Male subjects must agree not to donate sperm for 4 months after study drug administration.

This is not required of female subjects who are either:a. Postmenopausal (defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause) prior to Screening. In addition, at least 2 high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) measurements in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women with less than 12 months of amenorrhea and not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy; OR b. Surgically sterile (i.e., hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy) at least 1 month prior to Screening.\n- Follow-On Dosing Substudy: 1. Previously received a 25 mg dose of NTLA-2002 in Phase 1 or Phase 2, and completed the Week 16 assessments.\n- Follow-On Dosing Substudy: 2. Must have access to, and ability to use, ≥ 1 acute medication(s) to treat angioedema attacks.\n- Subjects must agree not to participate in another interventional study for the duration of this trial.\n- Subjects must be capable of providing signed informed consent.\n- France only: Adults subjects under guardianship are not considered able to provide informed consent\n- Documented diagnosis of HAE (Type I or II) confirmed by laboratory assessment of functional C1-INH level and C1-INH concentration: a. For HAE Type I: Both functional C1-INH level AND C1-INH concentration should be <50% of normal limits (or per local standard) b. For HAE Type II: Functional C1-INH level should be <50% of normal limits (or per local standard). C1-INH concentration may be normal or above normal. C1-INH testing during screening, at either the central or an accredited local laboratory, or previously documented results from an accredited local laboratory may be used to confirm eligibility. If frequent use of C1-INH for the prevention or treatment of HAE attacks would confound interpretation of C1-INH testing, genetic testing for known variants in the SERPING1 gene in a local laboratory may be used to confirm eligibility upon consultation with the Sponsor.\n- Follow-On Dosing Substudy: 8. Must be willing to limit alcohol consumption to 1 alcoholic drink per day from Dosing through 28‑days post-dose.\n- Follow-On Dosing Substudy: 9. Must be capable of providing signed informed consent.\n- Investigator-confirmed attacks (per Appendix 3 in Section 10.3): a. Phase 1 only: Subjects must have an Investigator-confirmed and documented historical HAE attack number of at least 3 during the previous 3 months (90 days) from the start of screening. b. Phase 2 only: Subjects must have an Investigator-confirmed and documented historical HAE attack number of at least 3 during the previous 3 months (90 days) to enter the Screening/Run-In period and an Investigator-confirmed and documented HAE attacks number of at least 2 during the up to 8-week (up to 56-day) Screening/Run-In period (or at least 3 to be eligible for early enrollment and randomization). c. Netherlands only: For both Phase 1 and Phase 2, subjects must have had inadequate control of HAE attacks, as determined by the Investigator, while receiving at least one prior prophylactic regimen, or have required discontinuation from, or otherwise be ineligible for, available prophylactic agents.\n- Phase 2 only: Subjects must agree to refrain from the use of prophylactic therapies from within 5 half-lives prior to the start of the Screening/Run-In period through the end of the 16-week primary observation period, and the Investigator must confirm that this is medically appropriate and does not place the subject at undue safety risk. See Section 10.2 for a list of prophylaxis agents, half-lives, and recommended wash-out period.\n- Subjects must have access to, and the ability to use, ≥ 1 acute medication(s) to treat angioedema attacks.\n- Subjects must meet the following laboratory criteria during Screening: a. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and total bilirubin (see exception for Gilbert’s Syndrome below) ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN) range at Screening. b. For subjects with a history of Gilbert’s Syndrome, total bilirubin ≤ 2 × ULN on screening evaluation. c. Serum creatinine is ≤ ULN, or, for subjects in whom serum creatinine is above the ULN, they can be included if the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is > 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 as measured by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation at Screening. d.

Male subjects with partners of childbearing potential must agree to using a condom as of the date of substudy informed consent and for 4 months after study drug administration.\n- Follow-On Dosing Substudy: 5. Male subjects must agree not to donate sperm for 4 months after study drug administration. The timeframe may be extended beyond the 4 months if sperm donation is contraindicated based on country-specific guidelines"}
