Summary

This trialevaluates the long-term safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of a drug, iptacopan, for people with a rare blood disorder, PNH.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) who've been stable on iptacopan for at least 3 months after completing certain Phase 2 or 3 trials. They must have had vaccinations against specific infections. Those with recurrent invasive infections, serious health conditions that could increase risk, or a history of stem cell transplantation cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of iptacopan in PNH patients. It's an open-label, single-arm extension study providing continued access to iptacopan for those who completed prior Novartis-sponsored studies.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed here, potential side effects may include reactions similar to previous phases such as headaches, nausea, and increased risk of infections due to the nature of immunomodulatory treatments.
