New hope for swelling disorder: experimental drug enters human trials
NCT ID NCT05691361
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new drug called ADX-324 for hereditary angioedema (HAE), a rare genetic condition that causes sudden, severe swelling in the body. The trial has two parts: first, a small group of healthy volunteers will receive the drug to check its safety and how the body processes it. Then, people with HAE will receive the drug to see if it helps control their swelling attacks. The goal is to find a safe and effective treatment for this lifelong condition.
