Summary

This study tested a drug called icatibant (Icanticure) in 5 adults with a rare condition that causes sudden, painful swelling attacks. The drug is already approved for hereditary angioedema, but this study aimed to gather more safety and effectiveness data for patients who couldn't get the drug through insurance. Participants received the injection during an attack, and researchers measured how quickly symptoms improved.
