Berinert P Study of Subcutaneous Versus Intravenous Administration

Summary

The study is performed to investigate the subcutaneous (s.c.) versus intravenous (i.v.) administration of Berinert P in patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE) to establish a second administration mode in cases where i.v. access is not suitable. The study is planned as a single centre, randomized, open-label, cross-over pharmacokinetic study. Subjects will either start with s.c. or i.v. pasteurised C1-Inhibitor concentrate (Berinert P) and than switch to the treatment not administered before.
