Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome focused on measuring Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, aHUS, thrombotic microangiopathy, TMA
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 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. Currently on the recommended weight-based dosage regimen of anti-C5 antibody treatment for at least 3 months prior to the screening visit. Clinical evidence of response to anti-C5 antibody treatment (in absence of PE/PI) for at least 3 months prior to entering the screening period as defined by: Hematological normalization in platelet count ≥150 x 109/L and LDH below upper limit of normal [ULN], and Stable or improving kidney function as defined by ≤15% increase in serum creatinine. Vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae infections is required prior to the start of treatment with iptacopan. If not received previously or if a booster is required, vaccination against Haemophilus influenzae infection, should be given, if available and according to local regulations. Exclusion Criteria: History of aHUS disease relapse while on anti-C5 antibody treatment. eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73m^2 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. Kidney, bone marrow transplant (BMT)/hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), heart, lung, small bowel, pancreas, liver transplantation or any other cell or solid organ transplantation Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or intending to conceive during the course of the study Any medical condition deemed likely to interfere with the patient's participation in the study
