New pill could stop swelling attacks in hereditary angioedema

NCT ID NCT06343779

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested an oral medication called deucrictibant for quickly treating attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE), a condition causing sudden, painful swelling. The trial involved 134 adolescents and adults with HAE types 1, 2, or 3. Participants took either the drug or a placebo at the start of an attack to see if it shortened time to symptom relief. The goal is to offer a convenient, on-demand pill option for managing HAE attacks.
