New PNH drug crovalimab tested against standard care in phase 3 trial
NCT ID NCT04434092
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether crovalimab works as well as eculizumab for people with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare blood disorder. About 210 adults who have not had prior complement inhibitor therapy will receive either drug. The main goals are to see if crovalimab can prevent blood transfusions and control red blood cell breakdown.
