Pozelimab + Cemdisiran
for Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria
This study is researching an experimental treatment combination with two experimental drugs called pozelimab and cemdisiran. The study is focused on people with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). The aim of this study is to see how safe and effective the pozelimab + cemdisiran combination is for people with PNH in the long term. The pozelimab + cemdisiran combination may be referred to as "study drugs" in this section. This study is looking at several other research questions, including: * How effective is the pozelimab + cemdisiran combination? * What side effects may happen from taking the study drugs? * How much of each study drug is in the blood at different times? * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drugs (which could make the drugs less effective or could lead to side effects)

Pozelimab + Cemdisiran
for Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria
This trial is testing a new combination of two drugs, pozelimab and cemdisiran, for patients with a rare blood disorder called PNH. The goal is to see if this new combination is safe and works better than current treatments. Researchers will also check for side effects and how the body reacts to the drugs. Eculizumab is the first approved treatment for PNH and has significantly changed the treatment landscape by inhibiting terminal complement activation.

ALN-CFB
for Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria
This study is researching an experimental drug called ALN-CFB. The study is focused on people with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) who are currently taking a complement component C5 inhibitor ("C5-inhibitor") and continue to have anemia (low red blood cell count). The aim of the study is to see how tolerable ALN-CFB is compared to placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but does not contain any drug. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking ALN-CFB * How much ALN-CFB is in the blood at different times * How much Complement Factor B (CFB) protein levels in the blood are affected by ALN-CFB
