Could a simple blood test predict clot risk in antiphospholipid syndrome?

NCT ID NCT07743242

First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study asks whether autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is linked to a higher risk of blood clots in people with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Researchers will compare the number of thrombotic events in APS patients who have AIHA versus those who do not. The study will enroll 230 adults with APS and signs of hemolysis, using blood tests to identify AIHA.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Blood tests (hemoglobin and Coombs test) to detect autoimmune hemolytic anemia
What this could lead to
If a link is found, doctors might monitor AIHA more closely in APS patients to help prevent blood clots.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not apply to all APS patients.
