New hope for kids with rare swelling disorder: daily pill may stop attacks
NCT ID NCT05453968
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a daily medication called berotralstat in 29 children aged 2 to under 12 who have hereditary angioedema (HAE), a condition that causes sudden, painful swelling attacks. The goal is to find the right dose based on weight and to check if it is safe and effective at preventing these attacks. Participants take the pill daily and are monitored for side effects and attack frequency.
