NCT ID NCT05757570

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is testing an experimental drug called povetacicept in adults with autoimmune cytopenias — conditions where the immune system mistakenly destroys blood cells, leading to low platelet counts (immune thrombocytopenia) or anemia (autoimmune hemolytic anemia and cold agglutinin disease). Participants receive a shot of povetacicept every 4 weeks for 6 months, with an optional 6-month extension. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and may help control these diseases.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
an experimental drug called povetacicept (also known as ALPN-303), given as a shot under the skin every 4 weeks
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with hard-to-treat autoimmune cytopenias.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 30 participants, so the drug may not prove safe or effective. Possible side effects include injection-site reactions and immune suppression.
