What is being measured

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

  1. Participants With Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA) Response

    The criteria for TMA response were: 1. Normalization of platelet count (defined as platelet count ≥ 50000 mm^3 or >=50% increase in platelet count) without transfusion support during the prior 7 days. 2. Normalization of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH, defined as LDH ≤ upper limit of normal [ULN]) and absence of schistocytes. 3. At least 50% reduction in protein/creatinine ratio from baseline. Participants must meet each TMA criterion at 2 separate assessments obtained at least 24 hours apart, with no criteria failures or more than 1 missed scheduled visit in between. Additionally, all intervals in which the criteria were met must overlap for at least 1 day.

    Measured: Up to Week 26

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Time to TMA Response During the 26-Week Treatment Period

    Time to TMA response was defined as the time from first infusion to the first time point at which all criteria for TMA response was met. Participants were assigned as responders at the time of their TMA response and were censored at the earlier of last assessment with all 3 TMA response components available (including measurements collected after treatment discontinuation), or death if they did not respond by then. TMA response required the following: 1. Normalization of platelet count (defined as platelet count ≥ 50000 mm^3 or >=50% increase in platelet count) without transfusion support during the prior 7 days. 2. Normalization of LDH (defined as LDH ≤ULN) and absence of schistocytes. 3. At least 50% reduction in protein/creatinine ratio from baseline.

    Measured: Day 1 through Week 26

  2. Participants With Hematologic Response

    Hematologic response required the following: (1) Normalization of platelet count (defined as platelet count ≥ 50000 mm^3 or >=50% increase in platelet count) without transfusion support during the prior 7 days and (2) Normalization of LDH (defined as LDH ≤ULN) and absence of schistocytes.

    Measured: Up to Week 26

  3. Time to Hematologic Response During the 26-Week Treatment Period

    Time to Hematologic response was defined as the time from first infusion to the first time point at which all criteria for hematologic response was met. Participants were assigned as responders at the time of their response and were censored at their discontinuation time or at the end of available follow-up if they did not respond by then. Hematologic response required the following: (1) Normalization of platelet count (defined as platelet count ≥ 50000 mm^3 or >=50% increase in platelet count) without transfusion support during the prior 7 days and (2) Normalization of LDH (defined as LDH ≤ULN) and absence of schistocytes.

    Measured: Day 1 through Week 26

  4. Participants With Hemoglobin Response

    Hemoglobin response was defined as the ability to maintain hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL without RBC transfusion support. The criterion must have been met at 2 separate assessments obtained at least 24 hours apart, and any measurement in between, and without RBC transfusion support during the prior 7 days.

    Measured: Up to Week 26

  5. Participants With Platelet Response

    Normalization of platelet count was defined as baseline platelet count ≤ 50000 mm^3 or > 50000 mm^3, absolute platelet count > 50000 mm^3 or >=50% increase in platelet count without transfusion support during the prior 7 days.

    Measured: Up to Week 26

  6. Participants With Partial TMA Response

    Partial response was defined as a participant meeting at least 1, but not all, criteria for TMA response. TMA response required the following: 1. Normalization of platelet count (defined as platelet count ≥ 50000 mm^3 or >=50% increase in platelet count) without transfusion support during the prior 7 days. 2. Normalization of LDH, (defined as LDH ≤ULN) and absence of schistocytes. 3. At least 50% reduction in protein/creatinine ratio from baseline.

    Measured: Up to Week 26

  7. Participants With Loss of TMA Response

    Loss of response occurred when a participant who had previously achieved a TMA response failed to meet criteria for one or more components of TMA response at a subsequent visit in treatment period. At least one parameter must fail to meet response criteria at 2 separate assessments obtained at least 24 hours apart, and any measurement in between. TMA response required the following: 1. Normalization of platelet count (defined as platelet count ≥ 50000 mm^3 or >=50% increase in platelet count) without transfusion support during the prior 7 days. 2. Normalization of LDH (defined as LDH ≤ULN) and absence of schistocytes. 3. At least 50% reduction in protein/creatinine ratio from baseline.

    Measured: Up to Week 26

  8. Duration of TMA Response Through Week 52

    This analysis includes data for each participant after TMA response through final follow-up. Participants with TMA response who do not experience these events are censored at their end of study date. TMA response required following: 1. Normalization of platelet count (defined as platelet count ≥ 50000 mm^3 or >=50% increase in platelet count) without transfusion support during the prior 7 days. 2. Normalization of LDH (defined as LDH ≤ULN) and absence of schistocytes. 3. At least 50% reduction in protein/creatinine ratio from baseline. The estimate is calculated based on Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Day 1 through Week 52

  9. Participants With TMA Relapse

    For participants that meet criteria for TMA response during 26-week Treatment Period, TMA relapse is defined as evidence of worsening hematologic and renal dysfunction due to TMA during post-treatment Follow-up Period that requires treatment intervention, as determined by Investigator. TMA response required the following: 1. Normalization of platelet count (defined as platelet count ≥ 50000 mm^3 or >=50% increase in platelet count) without transfusion support during the prior 7 days. 2. Normalization of LDH (defined as LDH ≤ULN) and absence of schistocytes. 3. At least 50% reduction in protein/creatinine ratio from baseline.

    Measured: Up to Week 52

  10. Overall Survival

    The Kaplan-Meier method was used to measure overall survival estimate. Overall survival was calculated from date of treatment start to date of a documented death event (death due to any cause) or date of censoring. Participants who survived were censored at the earliest of an additional hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), Week 52, or their last known date alive.

    Measured: Day 1 through Week 52

  11. Non-relapse Mortality During the 52-Week Treatment Period

    Cumulative incidence was estimated using a competing risk model. Non-relapse mortality was defined as a participant's death due to any cause during the study, with the exception of death due to underlying disease progression or relapse.

    Measured: Day 1 through Week 52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ravulizumab in people with Thrombotic Microangiopathy, run by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 26 sites in 7 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 8 inclusion and 15 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 12 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 26 sites in United States, Israel, Japan, Spain, United Kingdom and 2 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 12 Jan 2026). 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?

Participants With Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA) Response (time frame: Up to Week 26). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 12 Jan 2026.
