Early trials found that both garadacimab and sebetralstat were safe when used in patients living with hereditary angioedema, which speaks to the promise of the FDA-approved garadacimab.

Making clinical trials easier to find for clinicians and making protocols for entering clinical trials more lenient can help to improve access to clinical trials on a national and local level, explains Eric Lander, MD, of Minnesota Oncology.
