This phase 3 trial tested a new drug called HRS-5965 in 39 adults with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) who remained anemic even after standard anti-C5 antibody treatment. The study aimed to see if the drug could raise hemoglobin levels without needing blood transfusions…

This study tested a new pill called HSK39297 against a standard infusion drug (eculizumab) in 73 adults with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare blood disorder that destroys red blood cells. Participants had not received prior complement inhibitor treatment. The mai…

This study looked at 50 patients who needed a stem cell transplant from a partially matched donor but had antibodies that could attack the donor cells. Before transplant, they received a blood purification treatment called protein A immunoadsorption to remove those antibodies, so…

This study tested a new drug called OMS906 in 12 adults with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) who were not getting enough benefit from the standard treatment ravulizumab. The goal was to see if OMS906 is safe and can improve hemoglobin levels. Participants received OMS90…

This Phase 3 study tested a new oral medication, HRS-5965, against the standard infusion eculizumab in 76 adults with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare blood disorder. The main goal was to see if HRS-5965 could raise hemoglobin levels to normal without needing blo…

This study tested a new wearable patch that collects sweat to measure sodium and creatinine levels, which are important for monitoring kidney health and dehydration. Five adults with kidney disease wore the patch while their sweat was analyzed using a special light-based techniqu…

This study looked at whether touch-massage can reduce anxiety in people with blood disorders (like leukemia or lymphoma) who are hospitalized in a sterile, isolated room. Sixty-two patients received three massage sessions, and researchers measured their anxiety levels before and …

This study tested a monthly online peer support group for young adults (ages 18-39) who had received a stem cell transplant. The group met for one hour over six months, led by a nurse and social worker. The goal was to see if the program was practical and helpful for reducing anx…

This study tested whether montelukast (Singulair), a common asthma drug, can reduce the number and severity of infusion reactions in people receiving monoclonal antibody treatments for blood disorders. Forty adults were given montelukast along with standard premedication before t…
