NCT ID NCT07244289
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This program provides early access to the drug ianalumab (VAY736) for patients with serious or life-threatening conditions like immune thrombocytopenia or Sjögren's syndrome who have no other treatment options. It is not a clinical trial but a managed access program where doctors can request the drug for individual patients. The goal is to offer potential benefit when standard therapies are not available or have failed.
