About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-label, Two-arm Study to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacodynamic Effects of Pozelimab and Cemdisiran Combination Treatment in Patients With Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria Who Have Received Pozelimab Monotherapy

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 2 dosing regimens of pozelimab and cemdisiran combination therapy during the open-label treatment period (OLTP)

The secondary objectives of the study are:

  • To evaluate the effect of the combination treatment on the following parameters of intravascular hemolysis: lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) control, breakthrough hemolysis, and inhibition of total complement hemolysis activity (CH50)
  • To evaluate the effect of the combination treatment on hemoglobin levels
  • To evaluate the effect of the combination treatment on red blood cell (RBC) transfusion requirements
  • To evaluate the effect of the combination treatment on clinical outcome assessments (COAs) measuring fatigue and health related quality of life
  • To assess the concentrations of total pozelimab in serum and total complement component (C) 5 and cemdisiran in plasma
  • To assess immunogenicity to pozelimab and cemdisiran
  • To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of pozelimab and cemdisiran in an optional open-label extension period (OLEP)
  • To assess safety after treatment intensification with pozelimab and cemdisiran

    OLTP

    Breakthrough hemolysis is defined as an increase in LDH with concomitant signs or symptoms associated with hemolysis:

    • An increase in LDH occurs when:
    • LDH ≥2 × ULN if pre-treatment LDH is ≤1.5 × ULN or
    • LDH ≥2 × ULN after initial achievement of LDH ≤1.5 × ULN if pre-treatment LDH is >1.5 × ULN Signs or symptoms should correspond to those known to be associated with intravascular hemolysis due to Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) limited to the following: new onset or worsening fatigue, headache, dyspnea, hemoglobinuria, abdominal pain, scleral icterus, erectile dysfunction, chest pain, confusion, dysphagia, anemia including hemoglobin value significantly lower (ie, ≥2g/dL decrease) compared to patient's known baseline hemoglobin values, and thrombotic event.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pozelimab and Cemdisiran in people with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria, run by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals at 13 sites in 6 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 1 inclusion and 6 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 8 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in South Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Hungary and 1 more country. 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 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 16 Jan 2025). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: Through Week 28). 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 NCT04811716, 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 8 Apr 2025.
