  4. Any use of complement inhibitor therapy other than eculizumab in the 12 weeks prior to the screening visit or planned use during the study
  5. Known hypocellular bone marrow based on a history of reduced age-adjusted bone marrow cellularity and/or bone marrow cellularity ≤25%
  6. No documented meningococcal vaccination within 5 years prior to screening visit unless it is documented that vaccination has been administered during the screening period and prior to initiation of study treatment
  7. Unable to take antibiotics for meningococcal prophylaxis, if required by local standard of care
  8. Any active, ongoing infection or a recent infection requiring ongoing systemic treatment with antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals within 2 weeks of screening or during the screening period
  9. Documented positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or equivalent test based on regional recommendations for COVID-19 or suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection as described in the protocol
  10. Documented history of active, uncontrolled, ongoing systemic autoimmune diseases
  11. Recent, unstable medical conditions, excluding PNH and PNH-related complications, within the past 3 months prior to screening visit as described in the protocol

Change in fatigue as measured by Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) scale
OLTP The FACIT-Fatigue is a 13-item, self-reported PRO measure 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 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 a higher quality of life.
Change in health related quality of life (HRQoL) as measured by the global health status subscale of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC)- Quality of Life Cancer Patients Questionnaire (QLQ) - 30 Scale
OLTP EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a 30-item subject self-report questionnaire composed of both multi-item and single scales, including a global health status/quality of life (GHS/QoL) scale. Participants rate items on a four-point scale, with 1 as "not at all" and 4 as "very much." A change of 5 - 10 points is considered a small. A change of 10 - 20 points is considered a moderate change.

Brief Summary
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of pozelimab and cemdisiran combination therapy in participants with PNH who switch from eculizumab therapy The secondary objectives of the study are: To evaluate the effect of the combination treatment on the following parameters of intravascular hemolysis: lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) control, breakthrough hemolysis, and inhibition of CH50 To evaluate the effect of the combination treatment on the stability of LDH during the transition period from eculizumab monotherapy to combination with pozelimab and cemdisiran To evaluate the effect of the combination treatment on red blood cell (RBC) transfusion requirements To evaluate the effect of the combination treatment on hemoglobin levels To evaluate the effect of the combination treatment on clinical outcome assessments (COAs) measuring fatigue and health related quality of life (HRQoL) To assess the concentrations of total pozelimab and eculizumab in serum; and total cemdisiran and C5 protein in plasma To assess the immunogenicity of pozelimab and cemdisiran To assess safety after dose intensification To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of the combination treatment in an optional open-label extension period (OLEP)

Plan to Share IPD
Yes
IPD Sharing Plan Description
All Individual Patient Data (IPD) that underlie publicly available results will be considered for sharing
IPD Sharing Time Frame
When Regeneron has received marketing authorization from major health authorities (e.g., FDA, European Medicines Agency (EMA), Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA), etc.) for the product and indication, has made the study results publicly available (e.g., scientific publication, scientific conference, clinical trial registry), has the legal authority to share the data, and has ensured the ability to protect participant privacy.
IPD Sharing Access Criteria
Qualified researchers can submit a proposal for access to individual patient or aggregate level data from a Regeneron-sponsored clinical trial through Vivli.
