Summary
This trial will study the long-term safety and effectiveness of a medicine to treat PNH. It follows earlier trials with the medicine.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) who have finished a previous Alexion study using Danicopan as an extra treatment. They must be able to consent, follow the study rules, and be vaccinated against Neisseria meningitidis. Those with conditions that could affect the study or pose risks can't join, nor can women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the long-term safety and effectiveness of Danicopan when added to another drug called a C5 inhibitor in patients with PNH. It's a single-arm extension study meaning everyone gets the same treatment without comparison to a placebo or other medication.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for Danicopan aren't listed here, common issues may include reactions at injection sites, potential risk of infections due to immune system impact, and possibly others based on how it affects complement proteins in blood.
