Experimental drug for rare bone marrow disease shows early promise, but study halted
NCT ID NCT04409080
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested an experimental drug called REGN7257 in 17 people with severe aplastic anemia, a rare condition where the bone marrow stops making enough blood cells. The drug was given to patients whose disease did not get better or came back after standard immune-suppressing treatments. The main goal was to check safety and see if the drug could improve blood cell counts, but the study was stopped early.
