New hope for kids with rare blood disorder: first pediatric trial of oral drug begins

NCT ID NCT06934967

Summary

This study is testing an oral medication called iptacopan in children and teenagers (ages 2 to 18) with a rare and serious blood disease called Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH). The main goals are to see how the drug behaves in children's bodies and to check if it is safe and well-tolerated. Researchers will also measure if the drug helps improve anemia and reduces the need for blood transfusions over a year of treatment.
