Inclusion Criteria

1. Subjects at least 18 years of age with PNH who have participated in a Pegcetacoplan (APL-2) clinical trial.
Subjects who received treatment with Pegcetacoplan (APL-2) must have experienced
clinical benefit and adequate tolerability in the opinion of the Investigator.
Note: Subjects with PNH who completed an Pegcetacoplan (APL-2) clinical trial without
receiving Pegcetacoplan (APL-2) (or without receiving Pegcetacoplan (APL-2) for long enough to
demonstrate clinical benefit) may be enrolled in this study if, in the
opinion of the Investigator, the subject is expected to demonstrate
clinical benefit upon the initiation or continuation of Pegcetacoplan (APL-2) therapy.
2. Vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis types A, C, W, Y and B, Streptococcus
pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae Type B (Hib) either within 2 years prior to Day
1 dosing of this study, or within 14 days after starting treatment with pegcetacoplan.
Vaccination is mandatory unless documented evidence exists that subjects are
nonresponders to vaccination as evidenced by titers or display titer levels within
acceptable local limits. Immunization status checks will be performed to determine
whether subjects require primary or booster vaccinations.
3. Willing and able to give written informed consent.
4. Willing and able to self-administer pegcetacoplan (administration by a caregiver will be
allowed).
