Brief summary
This study will evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of ravulizumab administered by intravenous infusion to pediatric participants, from 1 month to \< 18 years of age, with HSCT-TMA. The treatment period is 26 weeks, followed by a 26-week off-treatment follow-up period.
Interventions
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.
Participants will receive medications, therapies, and interventions per standard hospital treatment protocols (unless specifically prohibited by the protocol).
