Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Iptacopan in people with AIHA - Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia and AIHA - Cold Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, run by Bing Han at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?

OR (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
