Brief summary

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of danicopan as add-on therapy to a complement component 5 (C5) inhibitor (eculizumab or ravulizumab) in participants with PNH who have clinically evident EVH.

Detailed description

This is a multiple-region, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multiple-dose, study in participants with PNH who have clinically evident EVH on a C5 inhibitor (eculizumab or ravulizumab). Participants will be randomized to receive danicopan or placebo, in a 2:1 ratio for 12 weeks (Treatment Period 1) in addition to their C5 inhibitor (eculizumab or ravulizumab) therapy. At Week 12, participants randomized to receive placebo will be switched to danicopan in addition to their C5 inhibitor for an additional 12 weeks (Treatment Period 2) and participants randomized to danicopan will continue on danicopan for an additional 12 weeks, while remaining on their ongoing C5 inhibitor therapy. At the end of the 2 treatment periods (Week 24), participants may enter a Long-Term Extension (LTE) Period and continue to receive danicopan in addition to their C5 inhibitor therapy. The Long-Term Extension period will consist of a first year of LTE(Year1) and a second year of optional LTE(Year2).All patients will complete 72 weeks of LTE(Year 1) assessments. After Week 72 (at the end of the first year of LTE), patients have the choice to complete participation in this study or continue to the optional second year (Year2) of LTE.

Percentage of Participants With Hgb Increase of ≥2 Grams/Deciliter (g/dL) (≥20 g/L) From Baseline in the Absence of Transfusion at Week 12

The criterion was defined as ≥20 g/L increase in Hgb from Baseline to Week 12 and remaining transfusion free during the 12-Week TP1. Participants who withdrew from the study early during the 12-Week TP1 or had missing Hgb value at Week 12 were considered as not achieving the criterion.

Percentage of Participants With Hgb Normalization at Week 12

Hgb normalization was defined as Hgb value above lower limit of normal (LLN) reference range. For male, the LLN was 125 g/L, for female, the LLN was 110 g/L. Participants with transfusions within 4 weeks prior to Week 12 were considered as not meeting Hgb normalization regardless of actual value observed at Week 12.

Percentage of Participants With Hgb Normalization at Week 24

Hgb normalization was defined as Hgb value above LLN reference range. For male, the LLN was 125 g/L, for female, the LLN was 110 g/L. Participants with transfusions within 4 weeks prior to Week 24 were considered as not meeting Hgb normalization regardless of actual value observed at Week 24.

The criterion was defined as Hgb stabilization avoidance of a \>1 g/dL (\>10 g/L) decrease in Hgb level at Week 24 from Week 12. Participants with transfusions within 4 weeks prior to Week 24 were considered as not meeting Hgb stabilization regardless of the actual value observed at Week 24.

Percentage of Participants With Transfusion Avoidance Through Week 12

Participants achieved transfusion avoidance if they remained transfusion free and did not require a transfusion as per protocol-specified guidelines from Week 1 through Week 12. Participants who discontinued study treatment early before Week 12 were considered as not achieving transfusion avoidance.
