What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Lactate Dehydrogenase

    Measured: 52 weeks (includes 12 weeks of eculizumab treatment in the parent study and 40 weeks in the extension study)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change From Baseline in FACIT-Fatigue Scale Total Score

    The FACIT-Fatigue scale, Version 4.0, 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: 52 weeks (includes 12 weeks of eculizumab treatment in the parent study and 40 weeks in the extension study)

  2. Change From Baseline in PNH Red Blood Cell (RBC) Count

    Measured: 52 weeks (includes 12 weeks of eculizumab treatment in the parent study and 40 weeks in the extension study)

  3. Change From Baseline in Number of Units of Packed RBCs Transfused

    Baseline is defined as the number of units transfused in 3 months prior to baseline

    Measured: 52 weeks (includes 12 weeks of eculizumab treatment in the parent study and 40 weeks in the extension study)

  4. Change From Baseline in Plasma Free Hemoglobin

    Measured: 52 weeks (includes 12 weeks of eculizumab treatment in the parent study and 40 weeks in the extension study)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Eculizumab in people with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria, run by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc..

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 17 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 12 Jul 2019). 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?

Change From Baseline in Lactate Dehydrogenase (time frame: 52 weeks (includes 12 weeks of eculizumab treatment in the parent study and 40 weeks in the extension study)). 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 NCT01194804, 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 17 Sep 2019.
