New hope for rare bleeding disorder: which drug combo works best?
NCT ID NCT01808911
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two drug combinations in 110 adults with acquired hemophilia, a rare condition where the immune system attacks clotting factors, causing severe bleeding. One group received steroids plus cyclophosphamide, the other steroids plus rituximab. The goal was to see which approach better eliminates the harmful antibodies and restores normal clotting, while tracking side effects like infections and major bleeds.
