Brief summary
The purpose of this study was to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), safety, and efficacy of ravulizumab in pediatric participants with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH).
Detailed description
The study consists of a 4-week Screening Period, a 26-week Primary Evaluation Period, and an Extension Period of up to 4 years (with the exception of any country-specific mandates), whichever occurs first. Efficacy and safety data are reported for the 26-week Primary Evaluation Period only. Analyses were conducted separately for complement inhibitor treatment-naïve participants and eculizumab-experienced participants.
Interventions
Single intravenous (IV) loading dose on Day 1, followed by regular IV maintenance dosing beginning on Day 15, based on weight.
