About this trial

The purpose of this Phase 3 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of iptacopan upon switching from anti-C5 antibody to iptacopan treatment in study participants with aHUS.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Male and female adult participants ≥ 18 years of age with diagnosis of aHUS for whom etiologies of other types of TMA and non-aHUS kidney disease have been excluded.

In the opinion of the investigator the participant has responded to anti-C5 antibodytreatment prior to screening and has clinical evidence of response (in absence of PE/PI) during the Screening period.

Hematological normalization in platelet count ≥150 x 10^9/L and LDH below upper limit of normal [ULN], and

Stable kidney function as defined by serum creatinine values within ±15% during the Screening period

Disqualifiers

History of aHUS disease relapse while on anti-C5 antibody treatment.

eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73m²

Active infection or history of recurrent invasive infections caused by encapsulated bacteria, i.e., meningococcus, pneumococcus (eg., N. meningitidis, S. pneumoniae) or H. influenzae.

Participants with sepsis or active systemic bacterial, viral (including COVID-19) or fungal infection within 14 days prior to study treatment administration.
