What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Adverse events were reported for single-ascending doses (SAD) or multiple ascending doses (MAD) of ALN-CC5 when administered to healthy adult subjects and of multiple doses (MD) in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH)

    Measured: Part A: through day 658; Part B: through day 532; Part C: through day 280

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Pharmacodynamic (PD) Effect of ALN-CC5: Percentage Reduction From Baseline in Complement Alternative Pathway (CAP)

    Complement activity was measured in serum samples collected at timepoints throughout the study using the CAP ELISA assay. Percentage reduction was calculated relative to baseline levels. A positive value indicates a reduction in CAP from baseline.

    Measured: Part A: through day 70; Part B: through day 140; Part C: through day 140

  2. Pharmacodynamic (PD) Effect of ALN-CC5: Percentage Reduction From Baseline in Complement Classical Pathway (CCP)

    Complement activity was measured in serum samples collected at time points throughout the study using the CCP ELISA assay. Percentage reduction was calculated relative to baseline levels. A positive value indicates a reduction in CCP from baseline.

    Measured: Part A: through day 70; Part B: through day 140; Part C: through day 140

  3. Pharmacodynamic (PD) Effect of ALN-CC5: Percentage Reduction From Baseline in C5 Protein Levels

    Total C5 protein levels were measured in serum samples collected at time points throughout the study using a mass spectrometry-based method. Percentage reduction was calculated relative to baseline levels. A positive value indicates a reduction in C5 protein level from baseline.

    Measured: Part A: through day 70; Part B: through day 140; Part C: through day 140

  4. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Effect of ALN-CC5: Cmax (25-mer)

    Measured: Part A: 0-48 hrs, Day 0; Part B (weekly dosing cohorts): 0-48 hrs, Day 28; Part B (biweekly, weekly/monthly/biweekly/monthly cohorts): 0-48 hrs, Day 84; Part C: 0- 24 hrs, Day 84

  5. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Effect of ALN-CC5: Cmax (23-mer)

    Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of ALN-CC5 (cemdisiran) 23-mer.

  6. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Effect of ALN-CC5: T Max (25-mer)

    Time of maximum observed plasma concentration (T max) of ALN-CC5 (cemdisiran) 25-mer.

    Measured: Part A: 0-48 hrs, Day 0; Part B (weekly dosing cohorts): 0-48 hrs, Day 28; Part B (biweekly, weekly/monthly/biweekly/monthly cohorts): 0-48 hrs, Day 84; Part C: 0- 24 hrs, Day 84

  7. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Effect of ALN-CC5: T Max (23-mer)

    Time of maximum observed plasma concentration (T max) of ALN-CC5 (cemdisiran) 23-mer.

    Measured: Part A: 0-48 hrs, Day 0; Part B (weekly dosing cohorts): 0-48 hrs, Day 28; Part B (biweekly, weekly/monthly/biweekly/monthly cohorts): 0-48 hrs, Day 84; Part C: 0- 24 hrs, Day 84

  8. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Effect of ALN-CC5: AUC 0-t (25-mer)

    Area under the plasma concentration-time curve over the dosing interval zero to time (AUC 0-t) of ALN-CC5 (cemdisiran) 25-mer.

    Measured: Part A: 0-48 hrs, Day 0; Part B (weekly dosing cohorts): 0-48 hrs, Day 28; Part B (biweekly, weekly/monthly/biweekly/monthly cohorts): 0-48 hrs, Day 84; Part C: 0- 24 hrs, Day 84

  9. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Effect of ALN-CC5: AUC 0-t (23-mer)

    Area under the plasma concentration-time curve over the dosing interval zero to time (AUC 0-t) of ALN-CC5 (cemdisiran) 23-mer.

    Measured: Part A: 0-48 hrs, Day 0; Part B (weekly dosing cohorts): 0-48 hrs, Day 28; Part B (biweekly, weekly/monthly/biweekly/monthly cohorts): 0-48 hrs, Day 84; Part C: 0- 24 hrs, Day 84

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing ALN-CC5 and Sterile Normal Saline (0.9% NaCl) in people with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH), run by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals at 4 sites in 2 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 30 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United Kingdom, Spain. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 30 Mar 2020). 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?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (time frame: Part A: through day 658; Part B: through day 532; Part C: through day 280). 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 NCT02352493, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 30 Mar 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
