Participant Flow

The study was conducted in 2 parts. In Part 1, participants received danicopan for 28 days. Starting doses were 100 or 150 milligrams (mg) three times daily (TID). A further dose increase up to 175 mg TID (N=8 participants) and 200 mg TID (N=4 participants) was conducted. Participants with reductions in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) meeting specified criteria were offered continued dosing beyond Day 28, for up to 8 additional weeks (Part 2).

An AE was as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. An SAE was an AE that met at least 1 of the following criteria: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization for the AE, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect (in the child of a participant who was exposed to the study drug), important medical event or reaction. The intensity of an AE was graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Adverse Event Severity Grading Table. A summary of SAEs and other non-serious AEs regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.
