Inclusion Criteria
  • Body weight >= 40 kg at screening.
  • Vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis serotypes A, C, W, and Y; vaccination against serotypes B, according to national vaccination recommendations.
  • Vaccination against Haemophilus influenzae type B and Streptococcus pneumoniae, according to national vaccination recommendations.

  • For female participants of childbearing potential: an agreement to remain abstinent or use contraception.
  • Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test result within 7 days prior to initiation of crovalimab.
  • Participants with a prior kidney transplant are eligible if they have a known history of complement-mediated aHUS prior to the kidney transplant.
  • Onset of initial TMA presentation within 28 days prior to the first dose of crovalimab (for Naive Cohort only).
  • Documented treatment with either eculizumab or ravulizumab (for Switch Cohort only).
  • Clinical evidence of response to a C5 inhibitor (for Switch Cohort only).

  • Recent use of tranexamic acid.
  • Current or previous treatment with a complement inhibitor (for Naive Cohort only).
  • First initiation of plasma exchange/plasma infusions (PE/PI) should not be more than 28 days prior to first crovalimab administration (for Naive Cohort only).

Assessed by the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue Questionnaire.

The FACIT-Fatigue (version 4) assesses self-reported fatigue and its impact upon daily activities and function. It consists of 13 items that assess fatigue using a 7-day recall period. Items are scored on a 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much) response scale. Relevant items are reverse scored and all items are summed to create total scores ranging from 0 \[worse score\] to 52 \[better score\].
