Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage Of Participants With Complete Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA) Response at Week 26

    Complete TMA response during the 26-week Initial Evaluation Period is a composite outcome measure that required normalization of hematological parameters (platelet count and lactate dehydrogenase \[LDH\]) and improvement in kidney function (≥25% reduction in serum creatinine from baseline); for participants on dialysis, baseline was established at least 6 days after the end of dialysis. Participants had to meet these criteria for 2 separate assessments obtained at least 4 weeks (28 days) apart, and any measurement in between. To be considered a responder during the 26-week Initial Evaluation Period, the latest time point a participant could first meet the response criteria was 28 days before the Week 26 (Day 183) assessment. Formal statistical comparison analyses were not planned for this study. The percentage was based on the responders among treated participants. The 95% confidence interval (CI) was based on the asymptotic Gaussian approximation method with a continuity correction.

Study Arms (1)

Ravulizumab

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants were administered weight-based doses of ravulizumab every 8 weeks for 26 weeks in the Initial Evaluation Period. After the Initial Evaluation Period, participants could enter an Extension Period and receive ravulizumab until the product registration or approval (in accordance with country-specific regulations) or for up to 4.5 years, whichever occurs first.

Biological: Ravulizumab

Interventions

RavulizumabBIOLOGICAL

Single loading dose on Day 1, followed by regular maintenance dosing beginning on Day 15, based on weight: ≥ 40 to \< 60 kilograms (kg), 2400 milligrams (mg) loading, then 3000 mg every 8 weeks; ≥ 60 to \< 100 kg, 2700 mg loading, then 3300 mg every 8 weeks; ≥ 100 kg, 3000 mg loading, then 3600 mg every 8 weeks.

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Male or female ≥ 12 years of age and weighing ≥ 40 kg at the time of consent.
  • Evidence of thrombotic microangiopathy, including low platelet count, hemolysis (breaking of red blood cells inside of blood vessels), and decreased kidney function.
  • Documented meningococcal vaccination not more than 3 years prior to, or at the time of, initiating study drug. Participants who received a meningococcal vaccine less than 2 weeks before initiating ravulizumab treatment must have received treatment with appropriate prophylactic antibiotics until 2 weeks after vaccination. Participants who had not been vaccinated prior to initiating ravulizumab treatment should have received prophylactic antibiotics prior to and for at least 2 weeks after meningococcal vaccination. Participants \< 18 years of age must have been vaccinated against haemophilus influenzae type b and streptococcus pneumoniae according to national and local vaccination schedule guidelines.
  • Female participants of childbearing potential and male participants with female partners of childbearing potential had to use highly effective contraception starting at screening and continuing until at least 8 months after the last dose of ravulizumab.

You may not qualify if:

  • A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13 deficiency (activity \< 5%).
  • Shiga toxin-related hemolytic uremic syndrome.
  • Positive direct Coombs test.
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • Identified drug exposure-related hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).
  • Bone marrow transplant/hematopoietic stem cell transplant within last 6 months prior to start of Screening.
  • HUS related to known genetic defects of cobalamin C metabolism.
  • Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), systemic lupus erythematosus, or antiphospholipid antibody positivity or syndrome.
  • Chronic dialysis (defined as dialysis on a regular basis as renal replacement therapy for end-stage kidney disease).
