What's the purpose of this trial?
The primary objective of the study is:
To evaluate the effect on hemolysis and red blood cells (RBC) transfusions over a 26-week treatment period of pozelimab and cemdisiran combination treatment versus ravulizumab treatment in patients with active Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) who are complement inhibitor treatment-naive or have not recently received complement inhibitor therapy
The secondary objectives of the study are to:
* Evaluate the effect of pozelimab and cemdisiran combination treatment versus ravulizumab treatment on the following:
* Measures of hemolysis
* Transfusion parameters
* Hemoglobin levels
* Fatigue as assessed by Clinical Outcome Assessments (COAs)
* Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as assessed by COAs
* Safety and tolerability
* Complement activation
* To assess the concentrations of total pozelimab and total ravulizumab in serum and cemdisiran and total complement factor 5 (C5) protein in plasma
* To assess the immunogenicity of pozelimab and cemdisiran
This trial is currently open and accepting patients.
