Study of a drug for swelling caused by blood pressure medication
Part of Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a medicine called conestat alfa in people who get swelling in the head or neck from their blood pressure medication (ACE inhibitors). The goal is to see if the drug can treat this swelling and help patients avoid serious breathing problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study collects blood samples (and optional skin samples) from people with angioedema to learn more about the condition and find better ways to diagnose and treat it. If you join, you may help scientists understand angioedema better.
This trial studies what happens in the body’s enzyme system in people who get facial swelling (angioedema) from certain blood pressure medicines called ACE inhibitors. The goal is to better understand the cause and potentially guide safer treatment for future episodes.
This trial tests a plasma-derived C1 esterase inhibitor to treat and prevent acute attacks in people with hereditary angioedema (HAE) types 1 or 2. It aims to see if the medicine can quickly relieve swelling episodes and reduce their frequency.
This trial tests if sebetralstat can prevent swelling attacks before medical procedures in people with HAE types I or II. You take the medicine short-term before your procedure to see if it helps protect you from an attack.
This study checks if a blood test measuring C1-inhibitor function can help diagnose hereditary angioedema (HAE), a rare condition that causes painful swelling episodes. If you or a close family member have had swelling without rash or itching that lasts 1-5 days and doesn't get better with allergy meds, this trial may be for you.
This study tests a new medicine called ADX-324 to see if it can prevent HAE attacks in adults with type I or II HAE. If you've had attacks recently and are willing to pause your current prevention medication, this trial may be an option.
