Our Heart Health is important all year - A healthy heart is vital for our wellbeing and a key component of our HAE care plan. Diet and exercise promote heart and mental health.

Clinical Trial icon Clinical Trial Updates

What is a Clinical Trial?
Clinical trials are research studies conducted to evaluate whether a medicine to treat HAE is safe and effective in humans. Clinical trials are a critical part of drug development and are required before a treatment can be approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and become available by prescription.

What are the benefits of participating in a Clinical Trial?
Clinical trials can offer an open-label extension, which means free access to HAE medicines being studied until they are approved and commercially available. Participation in a clinical trial also provides regular touchpoints with an HAE physician throughout the trial period and allows you to have a more active role in your health care.

Following is a list of clinical trials currently underway. If you are interested in receiving more information on clinical trials, or are interested in participating in any of the trials listed below, please reach out to the HAEA Research Team at research@haea.org.


The RAPIDe-3 Trial

The US HAEA is currently assisting Pharvaris in recruiting people for the RAPIDe-3 trial, a Phase 3 worldwide clinical research study to investigate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational oral drug (deucrictibant) to relieve the symptoms of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) attacks. This is a placebo-controlled study, and if you choose to participate you will take capsules to treat a total of two HAE attacks. The use of an approved on-demand medication to treat acute attacks is permitted and will be provided at no cost.

You may qualify for the RAPIDe-3 trial if you are diagnosed with HAE Type I or II and be between the ages of 12 and 75 years old, with at least two attacks in the past three months and have had experience using standard-of-care treatment to manage on-demand treatment for HAE attacks. After completing the RAPIDe-3 Study, participants may be eligible to join an open-label extension (OLE) study, and continue receiving deucrictibant to treat acute HAE attacks at no cost.


The CHAPTER-3 Trial

The US HAEA is currently assisting Pharvaris in recruiting people for the CHAPTER-3 trial, a Phase 3 worldwide clinical research study to investigate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational once-daily oral drug (deucrictibant) to prevent Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) attacks. This is a placebo-controlled study, but there is a higher chance of receiving the study drug versus placebo. The use of an approved on-demand medication to treat acute attacks is permitted.

You may qualify for the CHAPTER-3 trial if you are diagnosed with HAE Type I or II and are between the ages of 12 and 75 years old, and have experience using standard-of-care treatment to manage on-demand treatment for HAE attacks. After completing the CHAPTER-3 Study, participants may be eligible to join the open-label extension (OLE) study, and continue receiving deucrictibant to prevent HAE attacks at no cost.


The HAELO Study

The US HAEA is currently assisting Intellia in recruiting people with HAE for the HAELO study.

The HAELO study is a phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NTLA-2002 compared to placebo in adults with HAE. This investigational drug uses CRISPR gene editing to potentially treat genetic diseases.

To qualify for the HAELO study, participants must be 18 years of age or older with a clinical history consistent with HAE Type 1 or Type 2. This study will help researchers learn if the study drug is safe and effective for people with HAE when compared with placebo.


The OASIS-HAE Plus Study

The US HAEA is currently assisting IONIS in recruiting people with HAE for the OASIS-HAE Plus study.

The OASIS-HAE Plus study is an open-label extension study without placebo, evaluating the safety and effectiveness of an investigational subcutaneous preventive medicine called donidalorsen, which is given once every 4 or 8 weeks. This investigational drug uses a technology called antisense, which targets the kallikrein generating system using messenger RNA to suppress the protein that produces kallikrein.

To qualify for the OASIS-HAE Plus study, participants must be 12 years of age or older with a documented diagnosis of HAE. This study will help researchers learn if the study drug is safe and effective for people with HAE when given over a long-term period. Participants in the OASIS-HAE Plus study are either switching over from a different prophylaxis therapy, or continuing on from another donidalorsen study.


CSL312_3003 Pediatric Study

The US HAEA is currently assisting CSL Behring in recruiting children ages 2-11 with HAE for the CSL312_3003 study, which will investigate the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous CSL312 for prophylactic treatment of pediatric-age individuals with HAE.


KONFIDENT-KID Study

The US HAEA is currently assisting Kalvista in recruiting children ages 2-11 with HAE for the KONFIDENT-KID study, a worldwide clinical research study to investigate the efficacy of an investigational oral drug (sebetralstat) to relieve the symptoms of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) attacks in adolescent patients.

If you have HAE Type I, Type II, or HAE with Normal C1-Inhibitor and are interested in learning about new clinical studies to prevent attacks, please contact an HAE advocate at 866-798-5598 to see if there will be an active clinical trial site in your area.
