SUMMARY

The purpose of this open-label, single arm, multicenter, phase 3 study is to assess the pharmacokinetics of iptacopan in pediatric patients and to assess whether iptacopan is safe and well tolerated when used for the treatment of pediatric paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) patients 2 to \< 18 years of age.

Eligibility
Participation Requirements
Sex: All
Minimum Age: 2
Maximum Age: 18
Healthy Volunteers: f
View:

• Male and female participants 2 to \< 18 years of age with a diagnosis of PNH confirmed by high-sensitivity flow cytometry with red blood cells (RBCs) and with white blood cells granulocytes/monocytes clone size ≥ 10%. The minimum body weight for patients in Cohort 1 is 35 kg.

• Patients being treated with anti-C5 therapy and who have been on a stable regimen (dose and interval) for at least 6 months prior to enrollment, may be screened and enrolled in the study and switched to iptacopan irrespective of their anemia and hemolysis status, at the discretion of the Principal Investigator.

• Patients who are anti-C5 treatment naive: mean hemoglobin level \< 10 g/dL confirmed by central laboratory assessment during screening.

• Patients who are anti-C5 treatment naive: lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) \> 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) documented by at least 2 laboratory measurements 2 to 6 weeks apart during the screening period, one of which is to be done by the central lab.

• Vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae infection is required prior to the start of study treatment. If the participant has not been previously vaccinated, or if a booster is required, vaccine should be given according to local guidelines at least 2 weeks prior to first study drug administration. If study treatment has to start earlier than 2 weeks post-vaccination, prophylactic antibiotic treatment should be initiated.

• Vaccination against Haemophilus influenzae is recommended, according to local guidelines, at least 2 weeks before iptacopan.
