简要总结

RATIONALE: Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming, growing, or coming back. The use of eculizumab may prevent leukemia and stop the destruction of red blood cells in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well eculizumab works in treating patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the safety of eculizumab in patients with transfusion-dependent hemolytic paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.
  • Determine the efficacy of this drug, in terms of hemoglobin stabilization and the number of packed red blood cell units transfused during the 26-week treatment period, in these patients.

Secondary

  • Compare the occurrence of transfusion avoidance, hemolysis (measured by lactate dehydrogenase [LDH] area under the curve), and the changes in fatigue during the 26-week treatment period in patients treated with this drug vs placebo.
  • Compare LDH changes, quality of life changes, thrombosis, platelet activity, nitric oxide, and free hemoglobin measures during the 26-week treatment period in patients treated with these regimens.
