Promising aHUS drug trial stalls after only 6 patients enrolled
NCT ID NCT03205995
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a drug called narsoplimab (OMS721) for atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), a rare condition that causes blood clots and organ damage. The trial aimed to see if the drug could improve platelet counts and was safe for adults and adolescents. However, the study was terminated early and only enrolled 6 people, so we have very little information about how well it works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- narsoplimab (a monoclonal antibody given by IV and daily injections)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, narsoplimab could offer a new treatment option for people with aHUS, potentially improving platelet counts and controlling the disease.
- What could go wrong
- The trial was terminated early with only 6 participants, so results are very limited. It is unclear if narsoplimab is safe or effective, and aHUS is a rare, serious condition.
