Change in fatigue as measured by the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) Scale
The FACIT-Fatigue is a 13 item, self-administered clinical outcome assessment (COA) assessing an individual's level of fatigue during their usual daily activities over the past week. This questionnaire is part of the FACIT measurement system, a compilation of questions measuring health related quality of life (QoL) in patients with cancer and other chronic illnesses. The FACIT-Fatigue assesses the level of fatigue using a Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Scores range from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating greater fatigue.

EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a 30-item subject self-report questionnaire composed of both multi-item and single scales, including global health status/quality of life, functional Scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social), symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain), and 6 single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). Participants rate items on a 4-point scale, with 1 as "not at all" and 4 as "very much."
Change in global health status (GHS)/QoL scale score on the EORTC-QLQ-C30
EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a 30-item subject self-report questionnaire composed of both multi-item and single scales, including global health status/quality of life, functional Scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social), symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain), and 7 single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, sleep and financial difficulties).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The primary objective of the study is: To evaluate the effect of pozelimab and cemdisiran combination therapy on hemolysis, as assessed by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), after 36 weeks of treatment, in patients with PNH who switch from eculizumab or ravulizumab therapy versus patients who continue their eculizumab or ravulizumab therapy The secondary objectives of the study are to: Evaluate the effect of pozelimab and cemdisiran combination treatment versus anti-C5 standard-of-care treatment (eculizumab or ravulizumab) on the following: Transfusion requirements and transfusion parameters Measures of hemolysis: LDH control, breakthrough hemolysis, and inhibition of CH50 Hemoglobin levels Fatigue as assessed by Clinical Outcome Assessments (COAs) Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as assessed by COAs Safety and tolerability To assess the concentrations of total pozelimab and either total eculizumab or total ravulizumab in serum and total cemdisiran and total C5 protein in plasma To assess the immunogenicity of pozelimab and cemdisiran
