A plain-language summary of the goals, design and what participants do
The study looks at a rare condition called Hereditary Angioedema, which causes sudden swelling of the face, lips, hands, or throat. The treatment being tested is a new medicine called ADX-324, which works by turning off a specific gene signal (siRNA) that can trigger swelling. Participants will receive either the study medicine by a subcutaneous injection (an injection under the skin) or a simple salt water solution called sterile normal saline that acts as a placebo. The main goal is to see how safe the medicine is when given repeatedly over a long period.
After enrollment, participants will receive the assigned injection at regular intervals for several months, and they will be asked to keep a simple diary of any swelling episodes and any side effects they notice. Doctors will check in regularly to record any adverse events and to count how many swelling attacks occur, but no detailed imaging or laboratory tests are described here. The study will continue until enough information about long‑term safety has been collected.
The trial runs in 8 steps – from screening to follow-up. Each step says what happens and what the team monitors.

ADX-324 is an experimental medicine that uses a small piece of genetic material called siRNA to lower the amount of a protein called prekallikrein in the body. By reducing prekallikrein, the drug aims to prevent or lessen the swelling attacks that occur in people with hereditary angioedema. In the study, participants receive ADX-324 as a liquid that is injected just under the skin. The main goal of the trial is to see how safe it is to give this medication repeatedly over a long period.
This sterile solution is given by injection, usually intravenously, to provide a safe, isotonic fluid that matches the body’s natural salt balance. It is widely used in hospitals and is considered a standard, well‑known product with no active drug ingredients, making it suitable as a placebo in clinical studies. The main use is to replace lost fluids and electrolytes, and it serves as a control to compare the effects of the test medication. It belongs to the class of isotonic crystalloid solutions.
ADX‑324 is administered as a subcutaneous injection of a clear solution designed for patients with hereditary angioedema. It is an investigational drug currently in clinical trials and not yet approved for general medical use. The medication works by using small interfering RNA (siRNA) to lower the production of prekallikrein, a protein that contributes to swelling attacks, thereby helping to prevent episodes. It is classified as an RNA interference therapeutic targeting the immune system.
