Study of Danicopan in Participants With Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria With Inadequate Response to Eculizumab
brief summary
To determine the effectiveness of ACH-0144471 (also known as danicopan and ALXN2040) in improving anemia when given with eculizumab for 24 weeks in participants with PNH. Danicopan dose may be increased within each participant, to a maximum of 200 milligrams (mg) three times daily (TID) based on safety and efficacy at protocol-specified time points.
detailed description
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of danicopan in improving anemia, as measured by increased blood hemoglobin, when given with eculizumab (a drug commonly used for treatment of PNH) for 24 weeks in participants with PNH.
The 24-week treatment period was followed by a long-term extension phase. In the extension phase, participants received the same danicopan dose plus eculizumab as they were receiving at the end of 24-week treatment phase.
Results are reported for the 24-week treatment period.
