New hope for HAE patients: experimental drug aims to slash attack rate
NCT ID NCT06846398
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called BW-20805 in 25 adults with hereditary angioedema (HAE), a condition that causes sudden, painful swelling. The goal is to see if the drug can reduce how often attacks happen over about 6 months. Participants must have had at least 2 attacks in the 8 weeks before starting the study.
