New pill could rival standard infusion for rare blood disorder

NCT ID NCT06593938

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

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 blood transfusions. Participants took the drug for 24 weeks, and researchers measured blood counts and transfusion needs.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

HRS-5965 capsule

What this could lead to

If successful, HRS-5965 could offer a new oral treatment option for PNH, potentially improving anemia and reducing the need for blood transfusions.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small Phase 3 trial (76 participants) and results may not apply to all PNH patients. The drug is compared to an existing treatment, so benefits over standard care are uncertain.
