Refractory/Relapsed Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia
Conditions
Brief summary
The sample size of this study is calculated based on Simon's two-stage design. The first stage of the study enrolled a cohort of 12 patients. If after 12 weeks at least 6 patients achieved a response, then enrollment was expanded to a total of 26 patients. The null hypothesis was unaccepted if more than 14 of 26 patients achieved the response. Accounting for a 20% dropout rate, the estimated final sample size was 33 patients.
Interventions
Zanubrutinib was specifically designed to deliver complete and sustained inhibition of the BTK protein by optimizing bioavailability, half-life, and selectivity.
