NCT ID NCT07518277

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether adding sirolimus to standard steroid treatment helps people with newly diagnosed mild autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) achieve lasting remission. About 216 adults will be randomly assigned to get either steroids alone or steroids plus sirolimus for 6 months, then followed for 2 years. The main goal is to see if more people in the combo group can stop steroids and stay in remission at 12 months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

sirolimus combined with glucocorticoids (steroids)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a way to treat AIHA with fewer steroids and a higher chance of staying in remission without ongoing medication.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage trial with no phase assigned, so results are uncertain. Sirolimus can cause side effects like infections or metabolic issues, and the benefit over steroids alone may be small.
