Clinical Trials and Research Studies

Clinical trials and research studies, such as non-therapeutic studies and market research studies, help identify new ways to prevent, detect or treat disease and understand patient needs. If you have a bone marrow failure disease, you may want to consider taking part in a clinical trial, non-therapeutic study, or market research study.

Non-therapeutic Study: The purpose of a non-therapeutic study is to increase the understanding of a disease or condition through observation, data collection, or other methods. A non-therapeutic study does not provide treatment or intervention for participants. This type of research contributes to general knowledge that may benefit others in the future by improving treatment or developing new therapies.

The IRB-approved observational Phase IV PLEDGE study is set-up to collect real-world data on adult patients with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) with symptomatic extravascular hemolysis who recently started VOYDEYATM (danicopan) as add-on treatment to ULTOMIRIS®…

Market Research Study: Market research study is conducted to understand the patient population by gathering information from patients about their experience with types of treatment, awareness of therapeutic options, resources for making informed decisions, and health care providers and services. This type of research can provide insights that may inform product development, improve patient care, and identify unmet needs of patients.

The purpose of this study is to better understand the treatment journey and experiences of people living with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH), specifically those currently in a “watch and wait” period after being diagnosed.

Clinical Trial: A type of research study that tests how a drug, medical device, or treatment approach works in people. There are several types of clinical trials. Treatment trials test new treatment options. Diagnostic trials test new ways to diagnose a disease. Screening trials test the best way to detect a disease or health problem. Quality of life (supportive care) trials study ways to improve the comfort of people with chronic illness. Prevention trials look for better ways to prevent disease in people who have never had the disease. Trials are in four phases. Phase I tests a new drug or treatment in a small group to see if it is safe. Phase II expands the study to a larger group of people to find out if it works. Phase III expands the study to an even larger group of people to compare it to the standard treatment for the disease; and Phase IV takes place after the drug or treatment has been licensed and marketed to find out the long-term impact of the new treatment.

DNA is a structure in the body. It contains data about how the body develops and works. Telomeres are found on the end of chromosomes in DNA. Some people with short telomeres or other gene changes can develop diseases of the bone marrow, lung, and liver. Researchers at the…
