New drug enatumab tested for tough blood disorder
NCT ID NCT07190261
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing a drug called enatumab in 3 adults with relapsed or refractory warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA), a condition where the immune system destroys red blood cells. Current treatments often stop working or cause relapses. Enatumab is given as injections over several weeks to see if it can control the disease. The main goal is to measure how many patients respond to treatment at 3 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- enatumab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, enatumab could offer a new treatment option for people with relapsed or refractory warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia, potentially reducing relapses and improving quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early-phase trial with only 3 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drug may not work or could cause side effects, and larger studies are needed to confirm any benefits.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥18 years old, gender not limited. 2. Primary wAIHA with a clear diagnosis. 3. Patients who have relapsed or are refractory after at least second-line treatment (previous treatments include at least two types of glucocorticoids, CD20 monoclonal antibodies or other immunosuppressants). Refractory is defined as failure to achieve partial remission after 6 months of treatment with a stable dose of immunosuppressants. 4. The infusion of CD20 monoclonal antibody should be at least three months apart. If taking immunosuppressants such as cyclosporine and sirolimus, the medication should be discontinued for at least one month. 5. Hemoglobin (HGB) ≤100g/ and ≥ 60g/L. 6. Before treatment, the patient's alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were less than 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), and the serum creatinine was less than 1.5 times ULN. 7. Voluntarily join this study, sign the informed consent form with good compliance, and be willing to cooperate with regular follow-ups for efficacy evaluation and side effect monitoring. Exclusion Criteria: * (1) Those with impaired functions of organs such as the heart, liver and lungs; Patients with acute renal insufficiency. (2) Patients with connective tissue diseases and other secondary AIHA. (3) There is an active infection of hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or any uncontrolled bacterial, fungal or viral infection. (4) Complicated with malignant tumors or a history of tumors. (5) When screening, the subjects had other types of uncorrected anemia, such as nutritional anemia, etc. (6) Had received other BCMA-targeted or CART treatments before screening. (7) Pregnant or lactating women. (8) Activity ≥ grade 2 peripheral sensory/motor neuropathy. (9) Had received treatment with other experimental drugs within 30 days (or as required by local regulations) or within 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first use of the intervention drug in this study.
