Background: Over 40 years of use demonstrates that complement 1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) concentrate is effective and well tolerated for acute edema attacks and prophylaxis in patients with hereditary angioedema. OCTA-C1-INH is a new stable, virus-inactivated, nanofiltrated concentrate of C1-INH derived from human plasma.
Objective: We investigated the pharmacokinetics and safety profile of new C1-INH in people with hereditary angioedema during an attack-free period.

We aimed to investigate safety and efficacy of a SARS-CoV-2-specific siRNA-peptide dendrimer formulation MIR 19® (siR-7-EM/KK-46) targeting a conserved sequence in known SARS-CoV-2 variants for treatment of COVID-19.
Methods: We conducted an open-label, randomized, controlled multicenter phase II trial (NCT05184127) evaluating safety and efficacy of inhaled siR-7-EM/KK-46 (3.
