About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate povetacicept in adults with autoimmune cytopenias of immune thrombocytopenia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and cold agglutinin disease to determine if povetacicept is safe and potentially beneficial in treating these diseases. During the study treatment period participants will receive povetacicept approximately every 4 weeks for 6 months, with the possibility of participating in a 6-month study treatment extension period.
The 2 groups in the trial
- Part 1: Povetacicept 240mgTreatment being tested
Participants grouped in 3 cohorts by diagnosis will be administered Povetacicept.
Treatment: Povetacicept
- Part 2: Povetacicept Dose ATreatment being tested
Based on the findings of Part 1, one or two dose levels may be assessed in Part 2; if two dose levels are assessed participants will be randomized to receive one of the two dose levels of Povetacicept.
Treatment: Povetacicept
