In the study, Ruconest® showed 100% efficacy with first dose at appropriate clinical levels. In two cases, additional therapy was applied because of initial underdosing of the first treatment. Cinryze® and Berinert® also showed good results.
The main difference, however, was shown in those patients who selected Firazyr® as their first line therapy. These patients recorded re-dosing rates that were higher than controlled clinical studies have indicated before.
Of the 25 attacks treated with Firazyr® as a first line therapy, 11 (44%) failed on the first dose. In eight of those 11 failed therapy situations (72%), the patient took a second dose of Firazyr® to try to end the attack. In the other three cases, the patients took a C1 esterase inhibitor (two taking Berinert®, and one Ruconest®).
All of the patients who took a C1 esterase inhibitor reported the attack resolved, whereas in a further five of the eight Firazyr® treatments patients had to take a third dose of medication to try to resolve the attack. Where either Ruconest® (two) or Berinert® (one) were used as the third treatment of the attack, it was again resolved, whereas one out of two attacks re-treated with Firazyr® required a fourth dose of Firazyr® for the attack to be resolved.
Vergeet deze confrontatie-test niet, want dit is op alle gronden van belang.
