About this study

Official title: Evidence - Evaluation of Potential Predictors of Disease Progression in Patients With aHUS, Including Genetics, Biomarkers and Treatment

This was a prospective, open-label study with no participant randomization. Treatment for aHUS was observational and at the discretion of the treating physician. The purpose of this study was to assess disease manifestations of complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) and evaluate potential clinical predictors of disease manifestations and progression in participants with aHUS with or without eculizumab treatment in the clinical setting.

Being tested
Eculizumab

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate Of Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA) Manifestations During Eculizumab Treatment Compared To Off-Treatment

    A TMA manifestation was defined as one of following: Hematologic or renal events due to aHUS; extra-renal clinical signs and symptoms of aHUS; tissue (for example, kidney transplant) biopsy demonstrating TMA due to aHUS.

    The study was terminated with only 20% of the planned enrollment and due to the subsequent loss of funding for the program, the samples collected for outcome measure assessment could not be analyzed to generate summary-level data. All participants enrolled in ECU-aHUS-403 were concurrently enrolled in protocol M11-001, and their data will be included in the analyses for M11-001.

    Measured: Baseline, 24 Months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change From Baseline To 24 Months In Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)

    Change in estimated eGFR over time using the chronic kidney disease-epidemiology (CKD-EPI) formula.

    The study was terminated with only 20% of the planned enrollment and due to the subsequent loss of funding for the program, the samples collected for outcome measure assessment could not be analyzed to generate summary-level data. All participants enrolled in ECU-aHUS-403 were concurrently enrolled in protocol M11-001, and their data will be included in the analyses for M11-001.

    Measured: Baseline, 24 Months

  2. Incidence Of Plasma Exchange And Plasma Infusion (PE/PI)

    The number of occurrences of PE/PI per participant-years was calculated and summarized by treatment status.

    The study was terminated with only 20% of the planned enrollment and due to the subsequent loss of funding for the program, the samples collected for outcome measure assessment could not be analyzed to generate summary-level data. All participants enrolled in ECU-aHUS-403 were concurrently enrolled in protocol M11-001, and their data will be included in the analyses for M11-001.

    Measured: Baseline, 24 Months
