Clinical trial phase

Gladiolus Study

This Phase 2 clinical research study is evaluating the safety and effectiveness of a once-daily oral investigational medicine that may improve anemia and reduce the need for red blood cell (RBC) transfusions among some patients who are chronically transfused. All participants enrolled in the study will receive the investigational medication.

We are currently enrolling individuals who meet the following criteria:*

  • Regular RBC transfusions to prevent stroke or recurrence of stroke (Cohort A)
  • Thalassemia and receiving regular RBC transfusions (Cohort B)
  • Thalassemia and not receiving regular RBC transfusions (Cohort C)

There are additional eligibility requirements, which the investigator will explain to you.

LUNA 3

The LUNA 3 study is for teenagers and adults (ages 12 and up) with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) for which standard medications are no longer working. The goal of the study is to see if the study drug, Rilzabrutinib can safely increase platelet counts and improve symptoms for people with ITP. Rilzabrutinib is an investigational medication designed to stop your immune system from destroying your platelets. You may be able to join the study if you are:

  • 12 years of age or older.
  • Diagnosed with primary ITP for at least 6 months for ages 12 through 17 or for at least 3 months for ages 18 and up.
  • Have taken IVIg or steroids, but they are no longer working.
  • Have platelet counts of less than 30,000.

Other study requirements will apply.
