Could a single blood test speed up HAE diagnosis?
NCT ID NCT07293364
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether measuring just one protein function (C1-inhibitor) can accurately diagnose hereditary angioedema (HAE), a rare condition causing sudden swelling. About 514 people in Algeria who are suspected of having HAE or have family members with it will take part. Researchers will compare the new single-test method to the standard battery of tests to see if it works just as well.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria 1. Adult and pediatric participants of both sexes (children over the age of 12 years). 2. Participants providing a signed informed consent form (ICF), or parental consent for minors. 3. Participants should also meet one of the 2 inclusion criteria below: 1. Participants with a high suspicion of bradykinin-mediated HAE, referred to the center. This includes recurrent episodes of nonpitting angioedema without urticaria or itching, lasting between 1 and 5 days, and non-responsive to antihistamine and corticosteroid treatments. 2. Family members (from 1st to 4th degree relatives) of known HAE participants. Exclusion Criteria 1. Confirmed diagnosis of HAE-C1INH-Type1 or HAE-C1INH-Type2. 2. Angioedema with urticaria or itching (suggesting histaminergic etiology). 3. Angioedema episodes lasting less than (\<)1 day or greater than (\>)5 days (not consistent with bradykinin-mediated HAE). 4. Any condition deemed unsuitable by the investigator that may interfere with study procedures or data integrity.
