New drug navenibart aims to tame hereditary swelling attacks
NCT ID NCT05695248
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early trial tested a new drug called navenibart in 29 people with hereditary angioedema (HAE), a condition that causes sudden, painful swelling attacks. Participants received one or two doses of the drug to check its safety and how well it might reduce attacks. The study is a first step to see if navenibart could become a new treatment for HAE.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a new treatment option that reduces swelling attacks in people with hereditary angioedema.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early, small trial (29 people) testing the drug for the first time in this condition. It may not prove effective or safe enough for wider use.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Documented diagnosis of HAE (type I or II). The following must be met: a. Documented clinical history consistent with HAE (for example, subcutaneous or mucosal, nonpruritic swelling episodes without accompanying urticaria). 2. Experienced at least 2 HAE attacks during the Run-In period, as confirmed by an investigator based on meeting the protocol-specified definition of an HAE attack. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Any concomitant diagnosis of another form of chronic angioedema, such as acquired C1 inhibitor deficiency, HAE with normal C1-INH (also known as HAE type III), idiopathic angioedema, or angioedema associated with urticaria. 2. Use of therapies prescribed for the prevention of HAE attacks prior to Screening: 1. lanadelumab within 90 days 2. berotralstat within 21 days 3. all other prophylactic therapies, within 7 days 3. Any exposure to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or any estrogen containing medications with systemic absorption (such as hormonal contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy) within 28 days prior to Screening. 4.
