The US FDA has expanded approval for Johnson & Johnson's drug Imaavy to treat warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) in patients aged 12 and older who are currently or were previously treated with steroids, marking it as the first treatment cleared for this rare and life-threatening blood disorder.
