New hope for kids with rare swelling disorder: sebetralstat shows promise
NCT ID NCT06467084
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tested a drug called sebetralstat in 36 children aged 2 to 11 with hereditary angioedema (HAE) types I or II, a condition that causes sudden, painful swelling. The goal was to see if the drug is safe and how well it works to relieve attacks. The trial was open-label, meaning everyone knew they were getting the drug, and 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
- sebetralstat (KVD900)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a fast-acting treatment option for children with hereditary angioedema to relieve swelling attacks.
- What could go wrong
- This was a small, open-label study with no placebo group, so results may be less reliable. Side effects are still being evaluated.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female patients 2 to 11 years of age. 2. Confirmed diagnosis of HAE Type I or II. 3. For patients ≥20 kg at screening, patient has had at least 1 documented HAE attack in the last year prior to screening. 4. Caregiver, as assessed by the Investigator, must be able to appropriately store and administer IMP and be able to read, understand, and complete the diary. 5. Investigator believes that the patient and caregiver are willing and able to adhere to all protocol requirements. 6. Parent or Legally Authorized Representative (LAR) provides signed informed consent and patient provides assent (when applicable). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Any concomitant diagnosis of another form of chronic angioedema, such as acquired C1 inhibitor deficiency, HAE with normal C1-INH, idiopathic angioedema, or angioedema associated with urticaria. 2. A clinically significant history of poor response to bradykinin receptor 2 blocker, C1-INH therapy, or plasma kallikrein inhibitor therapy for the management of HAE, in the opinion of the Investigator. 3. Patient weighs \<9.5 kg. 4. Use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors after the Screening Visit. 5. Any estrogen-containing medications with systemic absorption (such as oral contraceptives including ethinylestradiol or hormonal replacement therapy) within 7 days prior to the Screening Visit. 6. Patients who require sustained use of strong cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors or inducers or moderate CYP3A4 inducers. 7. Any clinically significant comorbidity or systemic dysfunction, which in the opinion of the Investigator, would jeopardize the safety of the patient by participating in the trial. 8. Known hypersensitivity to sebetralstat or to any of the excipients. 9. Participation in any interventional investigational clinical trial within 4 weeks of the last dosing of investigational drug prior to the Screening Visit.
