First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether applying RADA16 hydrogel to the surgical site during tonsillectomy reduces pain and bleeding in children aged 3-17. Half the children will get the gel, half will not. Families will track symptoms via online surveys for 30 days after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
RADA16 hydrogel (a self-assembling peptide gel applied to the surgical site)
What this could lead to
If it works, this gel could become a standard way to reduce pain and bleeding after tonsillectomy in children, speeding recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small Phase 2 trial, so results are preliminary. The gel may not significantly improve outcomes, and there is a risk of allergic reaction or infection.
