New shot could stop painful swelling attacks in kids
NCT ID NCT05819775
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a drug called Garadacimab in 22 children aged 2 to 11 with hereditary angioedema, a condition that causes sudden, painful swelling. The drug is given as a shot under the skin to prevent attacks. The study looked at safety and how well it works. It has already been completed.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Garadacimab (a lab-made antibody given as a shot under the skin)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could give children with hereditary angioedema a new option to prevent painful swelling attacks.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 22 children, so results may not apply to everyone. Side effects or lack of effectiveness are possible.
