Could a daily pill stop hereditary angioedema attacks?
NCT ID NCT05047185
First seen Aug 17, 2026 ยท Last updated Aug 17, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether an experimental oral medication, deucrictibant, can reduce the number of swelling attacks in people with hereditary angioedema (HAE) types I and II. Participants take either a low or high dose of the drug or a placebo for 12 weeks, and then may continue on the drug in an open-label phase. The goal is to see if the drug safely lowers the monthly rate of confirmed HAE attacks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Deucrictibant (PHA-022121), an oral medication taken daily to prevent swelling attacks
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a convenient daily pill that reduces the frequency of painful and potentially dangerous swelling attacks in people with hereditary angioedema.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so results may not hold up in larger studies. The drug may also have side effects or prove no better than placebo.
