A Study to Measure Hemolysis Markers in Subjects with Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to measure and characterize markers of hemolysis (including but not limited to lactate dehydrogenase, indirect bilirubin, haptoglobin, and reticulocyte count), complement activation, and direct antiglobulin test (DAT), from subjects with Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (wAIHA).

Male or female, ≥ 18 years of age at the time of informed consent.
History of hemolysis that is not adequately controlled, as confirmed by enrolling investigator.
Positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT) ≥ 1+ for C3d and IgG.
Hgb level < 10.0 g /dL(pre-transfusion) with no alternative explanation for anemia apart from wAIHA.
Evidence of active hemolysis based on at least one of the following:
- LDH above the ULN;
- Indirect bilirubin above the ULN;
- Haptoglobin below the LLN.
Willing and able to give informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

< 18 years of age.
