New Recruiting Trial: Study of Ianalumab in Adults With Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) and Warm-antibody Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (wAIHA) Who Have Previously Benefited From Ianalumab

Novartis is looking for adults who have immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) or warm-antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) — two blood disorders where the immune system attacks blood cells — and who previously did well on a drug called ianalumab. This new study will test whether ianalumab continues to work for these patients. The trial is expected to start in April 2026.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial is recruiting adults who previously responded to ianalumab for ITP or wAIHA, offering a potential path to continued access for patients whose symptoms improved on this treatment.

Trial Now Recruiting: Understanding of Rare Inflammatory Arthritis in Comparison to Classical Inflammatory Arthritis : Tissular Observations and Immune Infiltrate Characterization : the UTOPIC Project (NCT07302074)

Researchers are looking for 100 people with rare types of joint inflammation to better understand how these conditions develop and damage joints. Some of these inflammatory arthritides occur alongside rare autoimmune diseases like systemic sclerosis, while others develop as side effects from cancer immunotherapy drugs. By studying tissue samples and immune cells from patients, scientists hope to discover why these conditions happen and potentially develop better treatments.

WHY IT MATTERSIf you have rare inflammatory arthritis, systemic sclerosis with joint involvement, or developed joint inflammation after cancer immunotherapy, this trial could help researchers understand your condition better and may lead to more targeted treatments in the future.
