Overview
Brief Summary
The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of iptacopan in participants with autoimmune benign hematological disorders such as primary immune thrombocytopenia and primary cold agglutinin disease.
Detailed Description
This was an open-label, single-arm (within each cohort), multi-center, non-confirmatory basket study to assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of iptacopan in participants with autoimmune benign hematological disorders. The study was set up as a basket study to allow inclusion of new cohorts (indications). The study included 2 cohorts: primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and primary cold agglutinin disease (CAD). Participants in Cohort 1 (ITP) were stratified in two groups according to high/low complement activation (i.e., based on sC5b-9 level at screening). No additional cohorts were added during the study. The study consisted of a screening period, a 12-week treatment period (Part A), a washout (for responders)/follow-up (for non-responders) period after Part A, and, for responders only, an additional treatment extension period for up to 24 months (Part B). Non-responders who had signs of clinical benefit according to the Investigator's assessment could also continue treatment with iptacopan in Part B. The washout period prior to the start of part B lasted up to 4 weeks.

Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks (Part A)
A study participant with ITP was considered a responder if all the below criteria were met: 1. Platelet count of ≥50 k/μL sustained for at least 2 consecutive weeks during the main, 12-week treatment part 2. Absence of rescue therapy or prohibited medications to treat ITP 3. Lack of treatment discontinuation
Cohort 2 (CAD): Number of Participants With a Clinically Meaningful Response
Time Frame: Baseline, up to 12 weeks (Part A)
A study participant with CAD was considered a responder if all the below criteria were met: 1. Hemoglobin level increase of ≥1.5 g/dL above baseline sustained for at least 2 consecutive weeks during the main, 12-week treatment part 2. Absence of rescue therapy or prohibited medications to treat CAD 3. Lack of treatment discontinuation
