Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Body weight >= 40 kg at screening.

  • Documented diagnosis of PNH, confirmed by high sensitivity flow cytometry.
  • LDH level >= 2x ULN at screening (as per local assessment).
  • Vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis serotypes A, C, W, and Y< 3 years prior to initiation of study treatment; or, if not previously done, vaccination administered no later than one week after the first drug administration.
  • Women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent or use contraception during the treatment period and for 10.5 months after the final dose of crovalimab or for 3 months after the final dose of eculizumab (or longer if required by the local product label).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Current or previous treatment with a complement inhibitor.
  • History of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
  • History of Neisseria meningitidis infection within 6 months prior to screening and up to first study drug administration.
  • History of myelodysplastic syndrome with Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) prognostic risk categories of intermediate, high and very high.

  • Positive for Active Hepatitis B and C infection (HBV/HCV).
  • History of or ongoing cryoglobulinemia at screening.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Arm C (Crovalimab) (Exploratory)
Paediatric participants will receive a loading series of Crovalimab comprised of an IV dose on Week 1 Day 1, followed by weekly crovalimab SC doses for 4 weeks on Week 1 (Day 2) then on Weeks 2, 3, and 4. Maintenance SC dosing will begin at Week 5 and will be administered Q4W thereafter. After 24 weeks of crovalimab treatment, participants who derive benefit from the drug may continue to receive crovalimab.
Crovalimab will be administered as specified in the respective arms.
Experimental: Arm A (Crovalimab)
Crovalimab will be administered at an initial loading dose of 1000 milligrams (mg) (for participants with body weight between 40 and 100 kg) or 1500 mg (for participants with body weight >=100kg), as intravenous (IV) injection on Day 1 of Week 1 followed by four weekly subcutaneous (SC) injections of 340 mg starting on Day 2 of Week 1 and then once weekly (QW) at Weeks 2,3 and 4. Thereafter crovalimab will be administered, as SC injection, at a maintenance dose of 680 mg (for participants with body weight between 40 and 100kg) or 1020 mg (for participants with body weight >=100kg) once every 4 weeks (Q4W) from Week 5 for a total of 24 weeks of study treatment. Participants may continue to receive crovalimab after 24 weeks of treatment up to maximum of 5 years.
Crovalimab will be administered as specified in the respective arms.
Active Comparator: Arm B (Eculizumab)
Participants will receive loading dose of eculizumab 600 mg on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22, followed by maintenance dose of 900 mg on Day 29 and every 2 weeks (Q2W) thereafter until 24 weeks. Participants may switch to receive crovalimab after 24 weeks of eculizumab treatment.
Eculizumab will be administered as specified in the respective arm.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame

Time Frame
Change in Reticulocyte Count (count/mL)
Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 25
Baseline up to Week 25
Percentage of Participants with Breakthrough Hemolysis (BTH)
Time Frame: Baseline through Week 25
BTH is 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 g/dL], a major adverse vascular event [MAVE; including thrombosis], dysphagia, or erectile dysfunction) in the presence of elevated LDH >= 2 x ULN after prior reduction of LDH to =<1.5 x ULN on treatment.
Baseline through Week 25
Percentage of Participants with Stabilization of Hemoglobin
Time Frame: Baseline through Week 25
Stabilized hemoglobin is defined as avoidance of a >= 2 g/dL decrease in hemoglobin level from baseline, in the absence of transfusion.
