New hope for rare blood disorder: Long-Term study of XH-S003 underway
NCT ID NCT07657052
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing the long-term safety and effectiveness of an experimental drug called XH-S003 in people with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare blood disorder that can cause fatigue, blood clots, and other serious problems. About 26 people who have already taken XH-S003 in a previous study will continue taking it for up to several years. Researchers will monitor side effects and check if the drug helps maintain healthy red blood cell levels and reduces the need for transfusions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- XH-S003 capsules
- What this could lead to
- If this works, it could provide a long-term treatment option to control PNH symptoms and reduce the need for blood transfusions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with no control group, so results may not be conclusive. Side effects are possible, and the drug may not work for everyone.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. PNH patients who have previously received and completed the XH-S003 study treatment, and according to the investigator's evaluation, the benefits of treatment outweigh risks and may benefit from continued treatment with XH-S003; 2. Subjects who have been vaccinated against Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae as required by previous studies (if the vaccine protection period does not cover the duration of this study, timely booster vaccinations should be administered according to vaccination guidelines and local vaccination requirements); Exclusion Criteria: 1. . History of malignancy in any organ or system within the past 5 years prior to screening (excluding localized basal cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ cervical cancer); 2. History of bone marrow/hematopoietic stem cell or solid organ transplantation; 3. History of splenectomy; 4. History of serious comorbidities , including but not limited to: advanced stage heart disease (e.g., New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] Class IV), severe lung disease (e.g., severe pulmonary hypertension \[WHO Class IV\]), severe liver function injury, severe renal disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate \[eGFR\] \< 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 or chronic kidney disease \[CKD\] Stage 4 or dialysis patients), unstable thrombus, other hematologic system diseases (e.g., chronic anemia unrelated to PNH), and deemed unsuitable for study participation by the investigator; 5. Pregnant or lactating women, or those with a positive pregnancy test; 6. Known or suspected immunodeficiency diseases or hereditary complement deficiency at screening; 7. A history of Neisseria meningitidis infection
