The treatment period is 26 weeks, followed by a 26-week off-treatment follow-up period.

Interventions

DRUGRavulizumab

Weight-based doses of ravulizumab will be administered intravenously as a loading dose regimen followed by maintenance dosing every 4 or 8 weeks, depending upon weight.

OTHERBest Supportive Care

Participants will receive medications, therapies, and interventions per standard hospital treatment protocols (unless specifically prohibited by the protocol).

Participants With Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA) ResponseUp to Week 26The criteria for TMA response were: 1. Normalization of platelet count (defined as platelet count ≥ 50000 mm\^3 or \>=50% increase in platelet count) without transfusion support during the prior 7 days. 2. Normalization of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH, defined as LDH ≤ upper limit of normal \[ULN\]) and absence of schistocytes. 3. At least 50% reduction in protein/creatinine ratio from baseline. Participants must meet each TMA criterion at 2 separate assessments obtained at least 24 hours apart, with no criteria failures or more than 1 missed scheduled visit in between. Additionally, all intervals in which the criteria were met must overlap for at least 1 day.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Participants With Hematologic ResponseUp to Week 26Hematologic response required the following: (1) Normalization of platelet count (defined as platelet count ≥ 50000 mm\^3 or \>=50% increase in platelet count) without transfusion support during the prior 7 days and (2) Normalization of LDH (defined as LDH ≤ULN) and absence of schistocytes.
Time to Hematologic Response During the 26-Week Treatment PeriodDay 1 through Week 26Time to Hematologic response was defined as the time from first infusion to the first time point at which all criteria for hematologic response was met. Participants were assigned as responders at the time of their response and were censored at their discontinuation time or at the end of available follow-up if they did not respond by then. Hematologic response required the following: (1) Normalization of platelet count (defined as platelet count ≥ 50000 mm\^3 or \>=50% increase in platelet count) without transfusion support during the prior 7 days and (2) Normalization of LDH (defined as LDH ≤ULN) and absence of schistocytes.
Participants With Hemoglobin ResponseUp to Week 26Hemoglobin response was defined as the ability to maintain hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL without RBC transfusion support. The criterion must have been met at 2 separate assessments obtained at least 24 hours apart, and any measurement in between, and without RBC transfusion support during the prior 7 days.
Participants With Platelet ResponseUp to Week 26Normalization of platelet count was defined as baseline platelet count ≤ 50000 mm\^3 or \> 50000 mm\^3, absolute platelet count \> 50000 mm\^3 or \>=50% increase in platelet count without transfusion support during the prior 7 days.
Participants With Partial TMA ResponseUp to Week 26Partial response was defined as a participant meeting at least 1, but not all, criteria for TMA response. TMA response required the following: 1. Normalization of platelet count (defined as platelet count ≥ 50000 mm\^3 or \>=50% increase in platelet count) without transfusion support during the prior 7 days. 2. Normalization of LDH, (defined as LDH ≤ULN) and absence of schistocytes. 3. At least 50% reduction in protein/creatinine ratio from baseline.
Time to TMA Response During the 26-Week Treatment PeriodDay 1 through Week 26Time to TMA response was defined as the time from first infusion to the first time point at which all criteria for TMA response was met. Participants were assigned as responders at the time of their TMA response and were censored at the earlier of last assessment with all 3 TMA response components available (including measurements collected after treatment discontinuation), or death if they did not respond by then. TMA response required the following: 1. Normalization of platelet count (defined as platelet count ≥ 50000 mm\^3 or \>=50% increase in platelet count) without transfusion support during the prior 7 days. 2. Normalization of LDH (defined as LDH ≤ULN) and absence of schistocytes. 3. At least 50% reduction in protein/creatinine ratio from baseline.
Duration of TMA Response Through Week 52Day 1 through Week 52This analysis includes data for each participant after TMA response through final follow-up. Participants with TMA response who do not experience these events are censored at their end of study date. TMA response required following: 1. Normalization of platelet count (defined as platelet count ≥ 50000 mm\^3 or \>=50% increase in platelet count) without transfusion support during the prior 7 days. 2. Normalization of LDH (defined as LDH ≤ULN) and absence of schistocytes. 3. At least 50% reduction in protein/creatinine ratio from baseline. The estimate is calculated based on Kaplan-Meier method.
Participants With TMA RelapseUp to Week 52For participants that meet criteria for TMA response during 26-week Treatment Period, TMA relapse is defined as evidence of worsening hematologic and renal dysfunction due to TMA during post-treatment Follow-up Period that requires treatment intervention, as determined by Investigator. TMA response required the following: 1. Normalization of platelet count (defined as platelet count ≥ 50000 mm\^3 or \>=50% increase in platelet count) without transfusion support during the prior 7 days. 2. Normalization of LDH (defined as LDH ≤ULN) and absence of schistocytes. 3. At least 50% reduction in protein/creatinine ratio from baseline.
Overall SurvivalDay 1 through Week 52The Kaplan-Meier method was used to measure overall survival estimate. Overall survival was calculated from date of treatment start to date of a documented death event (death due to any cause) or date of censoring. Participants who survived were censored at the earliest of an additional hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), Week 52, or their last known date alive.
Non-relapse Mortality During the 52-Week Treatment PeriodDay 1 through Week 52Cumulative incidence was estimated using a competing risk model. Non-relapse mortality was defined as a participant's death due to any cause during the study, with the exception of death due to underlying disease progression or relapse.
Participants With Loss of TMA ResponseUp to Week 26Loss of response occurred when a participant who had previously achieved a TMA response failed to meet criteria for one or more components of TMA response at a subsequent visit in treatment period. At least one parameter must fail to meet response criteria at 2 separate assessments obtained at least 24 hours apart, and any measurement in between. TMA response required the following: 1. Normalization of platelet count (defined as platelet count ≥ 50000 mm\^3 or \>=50% increase in platelet count) without transfusion support during the prior 7 days. 2. Normalization of LDH (defined as LDH ≤ULN) and absence of schistocytes. 3. At least 50% reduction in protein/creatinine ratio from baseline.
