Efficacy and Safety of Switching From Anti-C5 Antibody Treatment to Iptacopan Treatment in Study Participants With Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS)

Phase 3
Recruiting
Conditions
Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT05935215
Lead Sponsor
Novartis Pharmaceuticals
Brief Summary

The purpose of this Phase 3 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of iptacopan upon switching from anti-C5 antibody to iptacopan treatment in study participants with aHUS.

Detailed Description

The study is designed as a multicenter, single-arm, open label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of iptacopan upon switching from anti-C5 antibody to iptacopan treatment in participants with aHUS. It consists of a screening period of up to 8 weeks followed by a 12-Month Core Treatment period and 12-Month Extension Treatment period.

The study will assess the effects of iptacopan on a range of efficacy assessments relevant to aHUS.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Male and female adult participants ≥ 18 years of age with diagnosis of aHUS for whom etiologies of other types of TMA and non-aHUS kidney disease have been excluded.

  • Currently on the recommended weight-based dosage regimen of anti-C5 antibody treatment for at least 3 months prior to the screening visit.

  • Clinical evidence of response to anti-C5 antibody treatment (in absence of PE/PI) for at least 3 months prior to entering the screening period as defined by:

    1. Hematological normalization in platelet count ≥150 x 109/L and LDH below upper limit of normal [ULN], and
    2. Stable or improving kidney function as defined by ≤15% increase in serum creatinine.
  • Vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae infections is required prior to the start of treatment with iptacopan.

  • If not received previously or if a booster is required, vaccination against Haemophilus influenzae infection, should be given, if available and according to local regulations.

Exclusion Criteria
  • History of aHUS disease relapse while on anti-C5 antibody treatment.
  • eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73m^2
  • Active infection or history of recurrent invasive infections caused by encapsulated bacteria, i.e., meningococcus, pneumococcus (eg., N. meningitidis, S. pneumoniae) or H. influenzae.
  • Participants with sepsis or active systemic bacterial, viral (including COVID-19) or fungal infection within 14 days prior to study treatment administration.
  • Kidney, bone marrow transplant (BMT)/hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), heart, lung, small bowel, pancreas, liver transplantation or any other cell or solid organ transplantation
  • Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or intending to conceive during the course of the study
  • Any medical condition deemed likely to interfere with the patient's participation in the study
