CRISPR therapy takes on rare swelling disorder
NCT ID NCT06634420
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests a one-time gene editing treatment called NTLA-2002 for people with hereditary angioedema (HAE), a rare genetic condition causing sudden, painful swelling attacks. About 80 participants will receive either the treatment or a placebo. The goal is to see if NTLA-2002 can reduce the number of attacks by targeting the root genetic cause.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- NTLA-2002 (a gene editing therapy using CRISPR/Cas9 delivered via lipid nanoparticles)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a long-lasting reduction in HAE attacks, potentially freeing patients from regular preventive medications.
- What could go wrong
- This is still an early-stage trial with only 80 participants. The treatment may not work for everyone, and long-term safety is unknown. Gene editing carries risks like unintended genetic changes.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥16 years 2. Clinical history consistent with HAE-C1INH-Type 1 or -Type 2 3. Ability to provide evidence of HAE attacks (confirmed by the Investigator) to meet the screening requirement 4. Must agree to refrain from the use of long-term prophylactic therapies from the start of the screening period through the end of the Primary Observation Period. PI must be in agreement that it is medically acceptable for the participant to do so. 5. Must have access to, and the ability to use, on-demand medication(s) to treat potential angioedema attacks 6. Adequate chemistry and hematology measures at screening 7. Must agree not to participate in another interventional study for the duration of this trial. 8. Must be capable of providing signed informed consent. Participants 16 to \< 18 years of age, whose legal guardian provides informed consent, must provide assent. 9. Must agree to follow contraception requirements Exclusion Criteria: 1. Concurrent diagnosis of any other type of recurrent angioedema or HAE with normal C1-INH 2. Have known negative reaction or hypersensitivity to any lipid nanoparticles (LNP) component. 3. Any condition that, in the Investigator's opinion, could adversely affect the safety of the subject. 4. Unwilling to comply with study procedures.
