Every-8-Week shot could simplify PNH treatment
NCT ID NCT06298955
First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests the long-term safety of an experimental drug called OMS906 in people with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare blood disorder. Participants receive OMS906 as an intravenous infusion every 8 weeks. The goal is to see if this dosing schedule is safe and tolerable over time, and to check if it helps maintain healthy hemoglobin levels and reduce the need for blood transfusions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- OMS906, an experimental drug given intravenously every 8 weeks
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a convenient, long-term treatment option for people with PNH, reducing the need for frequent infusions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase, open-label study with only 25 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Long-term safety and effectiveness are still unproven.
Why investors are watching
Omeros is testing its drug OMS906 in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, a rare blood disease. This small phase 2 trial checks whether repeat doses are safe and tolerable over the long term. For a small company, this readout matters because OMS906 is a key product in its pipeline, and a clear safety signal could support further development.
If it works: If the drug shows a good safety profile and keeps the disease under control, Omeros could move closer to a larger trial or regulatory discussions. That progress could strengthen the company's position with investors and partners.
If it fails: The trial could show safety problems or poor tolerability, which would likely delay or end the program. Many phase 2 trials fail, and for a small company, a setback here could weigh heavily on its prospects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Have completed the last dosing visit of the prior OMS906 PNH study. 2. Female patients of child bearing potential must have a negative result from a highly sensitive urine pregnancy test prior to each dose of OMS906. 3. Females must use highly effective birth control to prevent pregnancy during the clinical trial and for 20 weeks following their last dose of study drug. 4. Males must use highly effective birth control with a female partner to prevent pregnancy during the clinical trial and for 20 weeks after last dose of study drug. 5. Have current vaccination status for Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumonia and Hemophilus influenza and agree to maintain vaccination throughout the study. 6. Have provided informed consent Exclusion Criteria: 1. Platelet count \<30,000/µL or absolute neutrophil count \<500 cells/µL at the start of the Evaluation Period. 2. Elevation of liver function tests, defined as total bilirubin \> 2 x ULN, direct bilirubin \> 1.5 x ULN, and elevated transaminases (alanine or aspartate aminotransferase), \> 2 X ULN unless due to PNH-related hemolysis. 3. History of any severe hypersensitivity reactions to other monoclonal antibodies or excipients included in the OMS906 preparation. 4. Patients with unresolved serious infections caused by encapsulated bacteria including H. influenzae, S. pneumoniae and N. meningitidis. 5. Pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing female patients. 6. History of any significant medical, neurologic, or psychiatric disorder that in the opinion of the investigator would make the patient unsuitable for participation in the long-term extension. 7. Unable or unwilling to comply with the requirements of the study.
