NCT ID NCT04739059
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested the long-term safety and effectiveness of garadacimab, a monthly injection, for preventing attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) — a rare condition causing severe swelling. 171 people aged 12 and older who had frequent HAE attacks took part. The goal was to see if the drug could safely reduce attack rates over time.
