✓. The current HAE attack must be in the cutaneous, abdominal and/or laryngeal (inclusive of laryngeal and pharyngeal) areas.
✓. Cutaneous or abdominal HAE attacks must be moderate to very severe as determined by investigator global assessment at pre-treatment assessments
✓. The patient must report at least 1 VAS score ≥ 30mm
✓. The patient commences treatment within 6 hours of the attack becoming at least mild (laryngeal) or moderate (non-laryngeal) in severity, but not more than 12 hours after the onset of the attack.
✓. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test and must use appropriate methods to prevent pregnancy during their participation in the study.
