Summary

This study tests a new drug called VAD044 in 75 adults with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), a condition that causes frequent nosebleeds and anemia. The first part compares two doses of VAD044 against a placebo to see if it safely reduces the number, length, and severity of nosebleeds. The second part is an open-label extension to check long-term safety and effectiveness.
