A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Study Comparing Glucocorticoid Combined With Sirolimus With Monotherapy of Glucocorticoid in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Mild Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia
China216 participantsStarted 2026-04-01
Plain-language summary
This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial. A total of 216 adult patients with newly diagnosed wAIHA were planned to be included and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the experimental group (glucocorticoid combined with sirolimus) or the control group (glucocorticoid monotherapy). The initial dose of sirolimus in the experimental group was 1mg/d, adjusted according to the blood drug concentration. The target concentration was 4-12ng/mL, and the treatment course was 6 months. Both groups of hormones were gradually reduced according to the standard protocol. All patients were followed up for 24 months, and the differences between the two groups at endpoints such as the hormone-free sustained response rate at the 12th month were compared.

. Diagnosed as newly diagnosed wAIHA and requiring systemic immunosuppressive therapy (those with short-term hormone exposure of ≤2 weeks before enrollment can be included)
. After a comprehensive rheumatology and immunology assessment, there is no evidence of clinical organ involvement in SLE or other connective tissue diseases (only serological abnormalities can be included).

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
