Recruiting
The purpose of the study is to see if ianalumab, compared to placebo, is effective and safe for treating wAIHA. A placebo looks like the study drug, ianalumab, but does not contain any active ingredient. Ianalumab belongs to a class of drugs called monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies are molecules that can recognize and stick to a specific protein expressed on the cell surface or released free in the body. Participants will receive study drug (ianalumab or placebo) through the vein every 4 weeks (4 doses in total) during the treatment period.
