1. 18 years and older at the time of consent
2. LDH at screening or at the onset of the current aHUS episode was >= 1.5 ULN
3. Platelet count at screening <150 X 109/ L
4. Evidence of AKI as per KDIGO guidelines.
5. Males and females of childbearing potential must agree to use an adequate method of contraception. Females will have a negative serum pregnancy test before entry to the study and throughout the study. Women of child-bearing potential are considered to remain so following menarche until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterilised. Permanent sterile methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy. Postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative cause.
6. The patient has given voluntary written informed consent
7. Willing to receive immunisation against Neisseria meningitidis and antibiotic prophylaxis in accordance with the KDIGO guidelines and local standard of care of the PI at each trial site
8. The patient is willing to comply with the process of preparation and self-administration of the study drug
1. Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP), defined as ADAMTS13 activity <10% from a historical observation (prior to initiation of PT) or as tested at the screening visit.
2. Typical HUS (known Shiga toxin + or positive EHEC culture)
3. HUS related to known HIV infection
4. Identified drug exposure-related HUS
5. HUS related to bone marrow transplant (BMT)
6. HUS related to Cobalamin (vitamin B12) deficiency
7. Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of sepsis defined as positive blood cultures within 7 days of the screening visit and not treated with antibiotics to which the organism is sensitive
8. Presence or suspicion of active and untreated systemic bacterial infection that, in the opinion of the Investigator confounds an accurate diagnosis of aHUS or impedes the ability to manage the aHUS disease
9. Unresolved meningococcal disease
10. Known Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) or antiphospholipid antibody positivity or syndrome
11. Prior use of eculizumab (Soliris®) within 2 months of screening is prohibited
12. Exposure to any other investigational drug acting directly on the complement system within 5 half-lives of screening is prohibited
13. Chemotherapeutic agents within 3 months of enrolment in the study are prohibited
14. History of malignancy within 5 years of screening
15. Known sensitivity to the excipients of meningococcal vaccines, ciprofloxacin or any other antibiotic being administered for purposes of meningitis prophylaxis
16. Participation in other clinical trials within 4 weeks of signing the ICF
17. Known allergy to ticks or severe reaction to arthropod venom (e.g. bee or wasp venom)
