IMAAVY® (nipocalimab-aahu) was proven to increase hemoglobin levels in a 24-week clinical study

What are the results?

A 24-week clinical study explored the effectiveness and safety of IMAAVY in adults living with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (

wAIHA
). Patients were currently receiving or had previously received treatment for wAIHA. In the study, patients received either IMAAVY or placebo.*

*Placebo: In a clinical study, this is the group that does not receive the medicine that is being tested.

They were adults who:

  • Had been diagnosed with wAIHA for at least 3 months and were receiving treatment or previously received treatment for wAIHA
  • Had active disease, meaning there were signs their body was breaking down
    red blood
    cells
    red blood cells
    at the time and their hemoglobin was less than 10 g/dL
  • Were allowed to keep taking their current wAIHA medicines during the study. This included steroids (90% for IMAAVY and 87% for placebo), immunosuppressants (24% for IMAAVY and 26% for placebo), or both (18% for IMAAVY and 21% for placebo)

To achieve improved

hemoglobin
levels, patients had to reach all 4 of the following measures without the need for additional treatment,† starting by Week 16 of the clinical study

†No additional treatment means no rescue treatment (extra treatment) was given by a healthcare provider based on worsening signs and symptoms of wAIHA.

More patients taking IMAAVY achieved improved hemoglobin levels without the need for additional treatment vs placebo in a 24-week clinical study

Individual results may vary. Talk to your healthcare provider to see if IMAAVY is right for you.

In the clinical study, patients also experienced the following results:

After 1 week, some patients taking IMAAVY saw their hemoglobin levels increase. An average increase of 1 g/dL was observed in patients taking IMAAVY.

Average change in hemoglobin levels throughout the clinical study

For this graph, if a patient stopped treatment or needed additional (rescue) treatment before Week 24, their results after that time were treated as showing no improvement from the start of the study.

61% of patients taking IMAAVY had a hemoglobin level of at least 10 g/dL and an increase of at least 2 g/dL from the start of the study. This happened at one or more visits by Week 24 of the clinical study.

15% of patients taking placebo had this result.

These results were not the main goals of the study and cannot be given the same importance as its main goals. Not all patients may achieve these results.

Impact on

fatigue
score‡ was studied at the end of the clinical study

IMAAVY vs placebo; average change in fatigue score at Week 24 of the clinical study

At 24 weeks, the average change in fatigue score‡ was 2.95 points with IMAAVY and -0.56 points with placebo

‡Average fatigue score was measured using the FACIT-Fatigue Scale. FACIT stands for Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy. It’s a 13-item questionnaire where patients indicate their level of fatigue from the past 7 days. It includes 5 statements related to fatigue symptoms and 8 statements related to the impact of fatigue on functioning. Total scores range from 0–52, with higher scores indicating less fatigue.

The fatigue data were not the main goals of the study and cannot be given the same importance as its main goals. Not all patients may achieve these results.

Talk to your healthcare provider to see if IMAAVY is right for you.

Be wAIHA wise!

If your healthcare provider has not asked about your fatigue in detail, consider bringing it up at your next appointment. You may also want to ask about the FACIT-Fatigue Scale.
