New pill shows promise for rare blood disorder in phase 3 trial
NCT ID NCT06799546
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new pill called HSK39297 against a standard infusion drug (eculizumab) in 73 adults with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare blood disorder that destroys red blood cells. Participants had not received prior complement inhibitor treatment. The main goal was to see if the pill could raise hemoglobin levels without needing blood transfusions.
