E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease Yes
E.2 Objective of the trial
E.2.1Main objective of the trial
The primary objective is to evaluate the long-term safety of eculizumab in patients with transfusion-dependent hemolytic PNH.
E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
1st Sub-study : conducted at specific sites in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany and the U.S.
Pharmacokinetic / Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) sub-study
E05-001_PK-PD_version 1, date 2006-08-01
The purpose of this sub-study is to increase the understanding of the Pharmakinetic and Pharmacodynamic properties of the 900mg dosing level in PNH patients. Thus, this substudy will permit to generate additional multiple-dose PK/PD information for the Phase III and the proposed commercial eculizumab dosing regimen in PNH patients.
E.3Principal inclusion criteria
1. Patients have fully completed the TRIUMPH (C04-001), SHEPHERD (C04-002), or X03-001 studies, or, TRIUMPH patients who have discontinued receiving investigational product prior to the Visit 18 due to lack of efficacy or exacerbation of symptoms of PNH and have completed, at minimum, all efficacy and safety procedures at Visits 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 and 18.
2. Patient must be willing and able to give written informed consent.
3. Patient must avoid conception during the trial using a method that is most appropriate for their physical state and culture.
E.4Principal exclusion criteria
1. Patients who have early terminated from the SHEPHERD (C04-002) or X03- 001 studies;
2. Patients who have withdrawn from the TRIUMPH study (C04-001) due to an adverse event;
3. Females: pregnant, breast-feeding, or intending to conceive during the course of the study, including the Safety Follow-up Visits;
4. Any condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could increase the patient’s risk by participating in the study or confound the outcome of the study.
5. Patients who have access to commercially available eculizumab before or at the time of enrolling into additional six-month treatment phase of the study as described in Amendment 2 of this Protocol.
E.5 End points
E.5.1Primary end point(s)
Primary endpoints are treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs), clinical laboratory and electrocardiogram data, and vital signs. These data will be summarized for safety-evaluable patients. Adverse events will be assigned MedDRA preferred terms and tabulated as incidence rates.

The sponsor (Alexion Pharmaceuticals) will also consider continuation of the eculizumab therapy in a further extension trial, with the consent of the patients.
