RUBY-4 Clinical Study

Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia

RUBY-4 is a phase 1b/2 clinical study that is being conducted to determine if an investigational drug called povetacicept is safe and beneficial for people with wAIHA whose disease is not currently well controlled with standard medication(s).

All participants will receive povetacicept. Povetacicept is administered by injection under the skin.

Do you have warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia?

Povetacicept is designed to reduce the inflammation and harmful antibodies that destroy red blood cells in autoimmune hemolytic anemia, which may improve anemia.

Investigational means that povetacicept is still being evaluated and is not approved by any health authority (e.g., the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA)).

Additional information is available at RUBY-4 ClinicalTrials.gov.

Who can join RUBY-4?

  • 18 years of age or older
  • Diagnosed with wAIHA at least three months ago
  • Received at least two prior treatments for wAIHA
  • Currently experiencing symptoms from anemia

Additional requirements apply. Our study doctors can help determine if you qualify.
