Trial Outcomes & Findings for Ravulizumab in Adult Participants With Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria Currently Treated With High-Dose Eculizumab (NCT NCT04320602)

NCT ID: NCT04320602

Last Updated: 2024-09-05

Results Overview

Free C5-associated BTH was defined as BTH concurrent with free C5 concentrations ≥0.5 micrograms (μg)/milliliter (mL). BTH was defined as at least one new or worsening symptom or sign of intravascular hemolysis (fatigue, hemoglobinuria, abdominal pain, shortness of breath \[dyspnea\], anemia \[hemoglobin \<10 grams {g}/deciliter {dL}\], major adverse vascular event \[MAVE\], including thrombosis, dysphagia, or erectile dysfunction) in the presence of elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) ≥2 \* upper limit of normal (ULN).

Participant Flow

The study consisted of a Screening Period of approximately 3 months and a Treatment Period of 351 days. Eligible participants were administered eculizumab 1200 milligrams (mg) every 2 weeks (q2w) optionally at home at the discretion of the Investigator, and preference of the participant during the Screening Period.

Ravulizumab
Participants received a loading dose of ravulizumab on Day 1 and maintenance treatment with ravulizumab on Day 15 and every 8 weeks (q8w) thereafter until Day 351. Ravulizumab loading and maintenance doses were based on the participant's body weight measured at the prior visit, per approved dosing regimen.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline through Day 351

Population: The FAS included all participants who received at least 1 dose of ravulizumab.

Free C5-associated BTH was defined as BTH concurrent with free C5 concentrations ≥0.5 micrograms (μg)/milliliter (mL). BTH was defined as at least one new or worsening symptom or sign of intravascular hemolysis (fatigue, hemoglobinuria, abdominal pain, shortness of breath \[dyspnea\], anemia \[hemoglobin \<10 grams {g}/deciliter {dL}\], major adverse vascular event \[MAVE\], including thrombosis, dysphagia, or erectile dysfunction) in the presence of elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) ≥2 \* upper limit of normal (ULN).
