Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Researchers are looking for new ways to manage hereditary angioedema (HAE). HAE is a rare disorder that causes repeated and unpredictable attacks of swelling in the face, arms and legs, abdomen, genitals, and airway. These attacks can be severe, painful, disabling, and life- threatening. Treatments for HAE include medicines that help lessen the severity of an attack as it is happening (on-demand treatment) and medicines that help prevent HAE attacks (preventive treatment). These medicines often need to be taken frequently, which can be a burden for patients.
The drug being studied in this trial is called navenibart. Navenibart is a monoclonal antibody ( an antibody is part of the body’s immune defense system) . It is being developed to prevent HAE attacks. It does this by blocking plasma kallikrein, an enzyme that produces a substance called bradykinin, which causes HAE attacks. Early results suggest that navenibart can potentially help patients by preventing HAE attacks. Astria Therapeutics Inc., the company that makes navenibart, wants to find out more about its effects in people with HAE, both adults (18 years or older) and adolescents (12 to 17 years old).

The main aim of this trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of navenibart in patients with HAE during long-term (more than 6 months and up to five years) use.

Who can participate?
Participants from STAR-0215-301(ALPHA-ORBIT) who meet certain criteria can participate. About 145 participants with HAE will take part in the trial globally, including both adults (18 years or older) and adolescents (12 to 17 years old). There will be approximately 12 participants with HAE taking part in the UK.

What does the trial involve?
Participants will be in this trial for up to 5 years. All participants will receive navenibart.
For adult participants who completed the ALPHA-ORBIT trial, this trial is divided into two parts. In Part 1, which will last at least 6 months for each participant, adults who received navenibart in ALPHA-ORBIT will continue at the same dose. Adults who received placebo in ALPHA-ORBIT will receive 600 mg of navenibart every 3 months. In Part 2, adults can change their navenibart dose in collaboration with the study doctors.
All adolescent participants will continue to receive navenibart at the same dose as ALPHA-ORBIT.
Trial drug will be given subcutaneously (an injection given in the fatty tissue just under the skin using a small needle).

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
There may not be a direct medical benefit from receiving the study drug. A study participant’s HAE may get better, stay the same, or even get worse.
It is possible that the results may not help individuals but the information we get from this study will help us improve treatment for people with HAE in the future.

Scientific titleA Phase 3 Trial to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of Navenibart in Participants with Hereditary Angioedema – ORBIT-EXPANSE
Study objectives Primary objective:
To assess the long-term safety and tolerability of navenibart in participants with hereditary angioedema (HAE)

1. To assess the long-term clinical efficacy of navenibart as a preventive treatment for HAE in participants with HAE
2. To assess the quality of life associated with the use of navenibart in participants with HAE
Ethics approval(s)

Approved 09/12/2025, London - Chelsea Research Ethics Committee (2 Redman Place, Stratford, London, E20 1JQ, United Kingdom; no telephone number provided; chelsea.rec@hra.nhs.uk), ref: 25/LO/0762

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedHereditary angioedema
InterventionAdult participants will receive one of three dosing regimens:
Regimen 1: Participants will receive 600 mg of navenibart (STAR-0215) via subcutaneous injection every 3 months.
Regimen 2: Participants will receive 300 mg of navenibart (STAR-0215) via subcutaneous injection every 3 months.
Regimen 3: Participants will receive 600 mg of navenibart (STAR-0215) via subcutaneous injection every 6 months.

Adolescent participants will receive 300 mg of navenibart (STAR-0215) via subcutaneous injection every 3 months.
Intervention typeDrug
PhasePhase III
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Navenibart 150mg/ml
Primary outcome measure(s)

Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events measured using patient records at first dosing visit through final follow-up visit

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

First dosing visit through final follow-up visit measured using patient records:
1. Number of time-normalized investigator-confirmed HAE attacks
2. Number of moderate or severe investigator-confirmed HAE attacks
3. Number of investigator-confirmed HAE attacks that require on-demand treatment
4. Percent reduction in monthly investigator-confirmed HAE attacks
5. Time to first investigator-confirmed HAE attack after first dose
6. The number of participants responding to treatment, defined as a ≥ 50%, ≥ 70%, or ≥ 90% reduction in investigator-confirmed HAE attack rate
7. Number of participants with no investigator-confirmed HAE attacks
8. Angioedema Quality of Life (AE-QoL) questionnaire total score
