A Study to Evaluate How Safe Pozelimab + Cemdisiran Combination Therapy is and How Well it Works in Adult Patients With Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) Who Have Not Recently Received or Have Not Received Complement Inhibitor Treatment

Registration Number

Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

This study is researching a clinical treatment combination with two experimental drugs called pozelimab and cemdisiran. The study is focused on patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). The aim of the study is to see how safe and effective the pozelimab + cemdisiran combination is for patients with PNH and how the combination compares with 2 existing treatments, one called ravulizumab and the other called eculizumab.

The pozelimab + cemdisiran combination may be referred to as "study drugs". Ravulizumab and eculizumab may also be called the "comparator drug".

The study is looking at several research questions, including:

* How effective is the pozelimab + cemdisiran combination compared to ravulizumab?

* How effective is pozelimab + cemdisiran combination compared to eculizumab?

* What side effects may happen from taking the study drugs?

* How much study drugs are in the blood at different times?

* Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drugs (which could make the study drugs less effective or could lead to side effects)

  6. Any contraindication for receiving Neisseria meningitidis vaccinations (serotypes ACWY and B).
  7. Unable to take antibiotics for meningococcal prophylaxis (if required by local ravulizumab [Cohort A] or eculizumab [Cohort B] prescribing information, where available, or national guidelines/local practice, or if necessary when administration of the first dose of the vaccination is less than 2 weeks prior to study treatment initiation)
  8. Any active, ongoing infection or a recent infection requiring ongoing systemic treatment with antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals within 2 weeks of screening or during the screening period

Cohort B Not requiring a red blood cell (RBC) transfusion per the protocol

Maintenance of adequate control of hemolysisFrom week 8 through week 26, inclusive

Cohort B LDH ≤1.5 × ULN

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maintenance of adequate control of hemolysisFrom week 8 through week 26, inclusive

Cohort A LDH ≤1.5 × ULN

Transfusion avoidanceDay 1 through week 26

Cohort A Not requiring an RBC transfusion as per protocol algorithm based on post-baseline hemoglobin values.

Hemoglobin stabilizationFrom day 1 (post-baseline) through week 26

Cohort A and B Patients who do not receive an RBC transfusion and have no decrease in hemoglobin level per the protocol

Breakthrough hemolysisFrom post-baseline day 1 through week 26

Cohort A and B LDH ≥2 × ULN per the protocol

Adequate control of hemolysisFrom week 8 through week 26, inclusive

Cohort A and B LDH ≤1.5 × ULN

Normalization of LDHBetween week 8 through week 26, inclusive

Cohort A and B LDH ≤1.0 × ULN per the protocol

Percent change in LDHFrom baseline to week 26

Cohort B

Change in fatigue as measured by the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue ScaleFrom baseline to week 26

Cohort A and B FACIT-Fatigue Scale is a 13-item, self-reported PRO measure assessing an individual's level of fatigue during their usual daily activities over the past week. This questionnaire is part of the FACIT measurement system, a compilation of questions measuring health-related quality of life (QoL) in patients with cancer and other chronic illnesses. The FACIT-fatigue assesses the level of fatigue using a Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Scores range from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating greater fatigue.

Participants rate items on a 4-point scale, with 1 as "not at all" and 4 as "very much."
