About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open-Label, Phase Ib Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetic, and Pharmacodynamic Profiles of Multiple Doses of the Humanized Monoclonal Antibody EA5 in Adult Patients With Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH)

This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase Ib clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of multiple doses of the humanized monoclonal antibody EA5 in adult patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH).

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase Ib clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of multiple doses of the humanized monoclonal antibody EA5 in adult patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). The study plans to enroll 24-26 PNH patients. The primary objective is to assess the incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) from baseline to Week 14.The treatment period is divided into a Loading Phase (Day 1 to Day 14) and a Maintenance Phase (Day 15 to Day 85). During the maintenance phase, patients will be assigned to one of three dose cohorts: Cohort 1/Cohort 1' (900 mg, IV, Q4W), Cohort 2/Cohort 2' (1200 mg, IV, Q4W), and Cohort 3 (1400 mg, IV, Q4W). Cohorts 1-3 are for patients previously naive to complement inhibitor therapy, while Cohorts 1'-2' are for patients recently naive to complement inhibitor therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing EA5 in people with PNH - Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria, run by Shanghai Lanyi Therapeutics Co., Ltd. at 2 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 21 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Fengkui zhang, Dr. (+86-022-23909999, zhfk@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: Baseline up to Week 14). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 May 2026.
