Brief Summary

The primary objective of the study is to determine the effect of pozelimab on active CD55-deficient protein-losing enteropathy (PLE; CHAPLE).

The secondary objectives of the study are:

* To evaluate the effect of pozelimab on CD55-deficient PLE (both patients with active disease at baseline and those with inactive disease on eculizumab, switching to pozelimab)

* To determine the effects of pozelimab on albumin and other serum proteins (total protein, immunoglobulins)

* To determine the effects of pozelimab on ascites

* To determine the effects of pozelimab on stool consistency

* To determine the effect of pozelimab on health-related quality of life

* To determine the effect of pozelimab on lab abnormalities observed in CD55-deficient PLE such as hypertriglyceridemia, thrombocytosis, and hypovitaminosis B12

* To describe the effects of pozelimab on the sparing of concomitant medications and reduction in hospitalization days

* To determine the effects of pozelimab on growth

* To characterize the concentration of pozelimab in patients with CD55-deficient PLE

* To assess the incidence of treatment-emergent ADA for pozelimab in patients with CD55-deficient PLE disease

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Active Disease at Baseline Who Achieved Normalization of Serum Albumin and Improvement in Prespecified Clinical Outcomes at Week 24At Week 24

Normalization of serum albumin was defined as serum albumin within the normal range at least 70 percent (%) of measurements between weeks 12 and 24, and no single albumin measurement of \<2.5 grams per deciliter (g/dL) between weeks 12 and 24, and no requirement for albumin infusion between weeks 12 and 24. Improvement in the following 4 prespecified clinical outcomes that were evaluable for improvement at baseline, without worsening of the others: Daily bowel movement frequency, the presence and severity of facial edema (physician-reported), the presence and severity of peripheral edema (physician-reported), and the participant/caregiver assessment of frequency of problematic abdominal pain. Percentage of participants with active disease at baseline who achieved normalization of serum albumin and improvement in prespecified clinical outcomes at Week 24 were reported.

Physical functioning, emotional functioning, social functioning, and school/work/studies functioning is assessed using a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from never a problem (0) to almost always a problem (4). Items were reverse-scored and linearly transformed to a 0 to 100 scale, with higher scores indicating better HRQoL. The total scale score is computed as the sum of all the items over the number of items answered on individual scales. Subscale score is calculated as the sum of the items in the scale divided by the number of items answered in the scale.

Change From Baseline in Body Weight Z-ScoreBaseline and Week 144

Weight-for-age z-score compares a participant's weight to children of the same age and sex from a healthy reference population. A z-score reflects an individual score as compared to a population mean and is expressed in units of standard deviation above (positive values) and below (negative values). Body weight z-score, regardless of magnitude, represents catch-up growth.

Change From Baseline in Height Z-ScoreBaseline and Week 144

Height-for-age z-score compares a participant's height to children of the same age and sex from a healthy reference population. A z-score reflects an individual score as compared to a population mean and is expressed in units of standard deviation above (positive values) and below (negative values). Any increase in height z-score, regardless of magnitude, represents catch-up growth.

Change From Baseline in Total Complement Activity Complement Hemolytic Assay (CH50)Baseline and Week 144
Concentrations of Total Pozelimab in SerumBaseline up to Week 164

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Severity of TEAEsFrom start of study drug administration up to approximately 144 weeks

TEAEs are defined as AEs that developed or worsened during the on-treatment period. The on-treatment period is defined as the time from first dose of investigational product up to 21 weeks after the last dose of investigational product. Severity of TEAEs was graded according to the following scale: Mild: Does not interfere in a significant manner with the patient's normal functioning level, Moderate: Produces some impairment of functioning but is not hazardous to health and Severe: Produces significant impairment of functioning or incapacitation and is a definite hazard to the participants health.

Number of Participants With Improvement in Most Bothersome Signs and Symptoms at Week 24At Week 24

Improvement in most bothersome sign/symptom determined using semi-structured concept elicitation interview, from 'core' clinical endpoints of frequency of bowel movements, peripheral edema, facial edema, abdominal pain frequency, nausea, vomiting, stool consistency.

Absolute Values of Protein, and Immunoglobulin G (IgG) at Baseline and Week 24Baseline, Week 24

Blood samples were collected from participants at defined time points for the assessment of protein and IgG. Absolutes values of protein and IgG measured as g/L at baseline and Week 24 was reported.

Daily bowel movements captured by e-diary. The number of bowel movements per day was calculated each week of the study. It was based on a 1-week average and calculated as the sum of the number of bowel movements in a given week divided by the number of days with non-missing bowel movement frequency data. If more than 3 days of bowel movement data was missing in a given week, bowel movement frequency data was considered missing for that week.

The number of days per week with \>=1 loose/watery bowel movement, is calculated each week of the study as the sum of the number of days with \>=1 loose/watery bowel movement in a given week divided by the number of days with non-missing stool consistency data and then multiplied by 7, is presented. If more than 3 days of stool consistency data was missing in a given week, stool consistency data was considered missing for that week.
