What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events

    Measured: From time of consent to a maximum of 2.5 years of study treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Hemolysis as Measured by Change From Baseline in LDH Area Under the Curve

    Measured: From time of first infusion through 24 months of study treatment

  2. Quality of Life as Measured by FACIT-Fatigue Scale Change From Baseline

    The FACIT-Fatigue scale is a collection of quality of life questionnaires pertaining to the management of fatigue symptoms due to a chronic illness. The FACIT-Fatigue is a 13-item questionnaire that assesses self-reported fatigue and its impact upon daily activities and function over the preceding 7 days. Patients score each item on a 5-point scale: 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). Total scores range from 0 to 52, with higher score indicating better quality of life.

    Measured: From time of first infusion through 24 months of study treatment

  3. Incidence of Thrombosis After Eculizumab Infusion

    Thrombosis was defined as occurrence of major adverse vascular events

    Measured: From time of first ever dose through last dose (up to 24 months of study treatment)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing eculizumab in people with Paroxysmal Hemoglobinuria, Nocturnal, run by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 40 sites in 12 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 40 sites in United States, Australia, Italy, Germany, Spain and 7 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Jun 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (time frame: From time of consent to a maximum of 2.5 years of study treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00122317, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Mar 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
