Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia Understanding
Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (WAIHA): Overview
Warm antibody hemolytic anemia is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the premature destruction of healthy red blood cells by autoantibodies. Autoimmune diseases occur when the body's natural defenses against foreign organisms (e.g., lymphocytes, antibodies) destroy healthy tissue for unknown reasons. Normally, red blood cells have a life span of approximately 120 days before they are removed by the spleen. The medical term for low levels of circulating red blood cells is anemia. Anemia may cause fatigue, a pale skin color (pallor), yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice) and the passage of blood in the urine (hemoglobinuria), which gives the urine a dark brown color. Warm antibody hemolytic anemia is classified as an autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), an uncommon group of disorders in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy red blood cells.
Symptoms
The symptoms of warm antibody hemolytic anemia usually develop slowly over a period of several weeks to months, but in some cases can develop suddenly over a few days. Specific symptoms that occur may vary from one person to another and may depend upon the rate of onset, the rate of destruction of healthy red blood cells and the presence of an underlying disorder. Some individuals, especially those with a gradual onset of anemia, may not have any obvious symptoms (asymptomatic). Affected individuals may eventually develop abnormal paleness of the skin (pallor), fatigue, difficulty breathing upon exertion, dizziness and palpitations. Yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice) and enlargement of the spleen (splenomegaly) are also common findings in individuals with warm antibody hemolytic anemia. Splenomegaly may cause an affected individual to have a bloated or full feeling in the abdomen. Occasionally enlargement of the liver (hepatomegaly) may also occur in some people.
Diagnosis
A diagnosis of hemolytic anemia may be suspected based upon a thorough clinical evaluation, a detailed patient history, identification of characteristic symptoms and a variety of tests such as blood tests that measure hemoglobin and hematocrit. When anemia is suspected to be caused by immune system dysfunction (autoimmune hemolytic anemia), specialized tests such as a Coombs test may be performed. This test is used to detect antibodies that act against red blood cells. A sample of blood is taken and then exposed to the Coombs reagent. A positive test is indicated when the red blood cells clump in the presence of the reagent.
Treatment
The treatment of warm antibody hemolytic anemia is symptomatic and supportive. Affected individuals are usually treated with corticosteroid drugs such as prednisone and can usually be well controlled with proper treatment. A high-dose of these drugs may be initially recommended followed by a gradual reduction (tapering) of the dose over the next few weeks or months. For individuals who do not respond to corticosteroid therapy or develop intolerable side effects, immunosuppressive drugs may be administered or surgical removal of the spleen (splenectomy) may be performed. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody, an artificially-created antibody that targets certain white blood cells that create the antibodies which prematurely destroy red blood cells.

Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia Emerging Drugs
• Fostamatinib: Rigel Pharmaceuticals
Rigel Pharmaceuticals is conducting a phase 2, multi-center, open label, simon two-stage study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fostamatinib disodium in the treatment of Warm Antibody Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether fostamatinib is safe and effective in the treatment of Warm Antibody Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA).
• BIV009: Bioverativ, a Sanofi company
Sanofi is conducting a prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled First-In-Human study with four sub-parts: Part A, a single ascending dose study (SAD) in normal human volunteers (NHVs), Part B, a multiple ascending dose study (MAD) in NHVs, Part C, a multiple dose (MD) study in patients with a complement-mediated disorder, and Part E, a multiple dose (MD) study in patients with cold agglutinin disease previously treated with BIVV009 within the scope of a BIVV009 clinical trial or named patient program use. Note: For parts A-C as well as at the start of part E, study drug was named TNT009. The study drug name is changed to BIVV009 with final version Final 15.0 of the clinical study protocol.
