What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Naive Cohort: Percentage of Participants With Complete Thrombotic Microangiopathy Response (cTMAr) Anytime From Baseline to Week 25
cTMAr was defined by meeting all of the following criteria at two separate assessments, obtained at least 4 weeks (a minimum of 26 days) apart, and any measurement in between: platelet count ≥ lower limit of normal (LLN); lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN); and ≥25% decrease in serum creatinine from baseline. Participants with normalized creatinine (i.e., LLN ≤ creatinine ≤ ULN) at baseline were excluded from analysis. Percentage has been rounded off.
Measured: Baseline up to Week 25 (after 24 weeks on treatment)
Secondary outcomes (31)
Naive and Switch Cohorts: Percentage of Participants Requiring Dialysis at Baseline and at Week 25 Who Completed 24 Weeks of Treatment
Participants were considered to be on dialysis at baseline or at Week 25 if dialysis occurred within 5 days prior to the first crovalimab administration or prior to the end date of the primary treatment period, respectively. The percentage of participants who required dialysis at baseline and Week 25 has been reported here. Percentages have been rounded off.
Measured: Baseline up to Week 25 (after 24 weeks on treatment)
Naïve and Switch Cohorts: Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline to Week 25 (After 24 Weeks on Treatment) on Dialysis Status (Yes/No)
Participants were considered as being on dialysis at baseline or at Week 25 if dialysis occurred within 5 days prior to the first crovalimab administration or prior to the end date of the primary treatment period, respectively. Participants who were on dialysis at any time point from baseline to Week 25 were classified as "Initiated dialysis at any time point ". Participants who remained dialysis-free throughout the primary treatment period were classified as "Remained dialysis free throughout". Participants who were on dialysis at Week 25 were classified as "Remained on dialysis". Participants who discontinued dialysis at Week 25 were classified as "Discontinued dialysis. Percentages have been rounded off.
Measured: From baseline up to Week 25
Naive and Switch Cohorts: Observed Values of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), as Calculated From Central Serum Creatinine
GFR is an index of kidney function that describes the flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidneys. It was categorized according to chronic kidney disease (CKD) staging criteria. eGFR was calculated using the creatinine-based bedside Schwartz equation for adolescents and 2009 CKD-Epidemiology Collaboration (EPI) creatinine equation for adults. Formula for creatinine-based bedside Schwartz equation was eGFR (milliliters per minute per 1.73 square meter [mL/min/1.73 m^2])=0.413*(height [ht]/serum creatinine [sCr]), if height is expressed in centimeters, or 41.3*(ht/sCr), if height is expressed in meters, and formula for 2009 CKD-EPI creatinine equation was eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m^2)= 141*min(sCr /κ,1)^α*max(sCr/κ,1)^ -1.209*0.993^AGE[*1.018 if female][*1.159 if black], κ was 0.7 for females and 0.9 for males, α was -0.329 for females and -0.411 for males, min indicated the minimum of sCr/κ or 1, and max indicated the maximum of sCr/κ or 1.
Measured: Baseline, Weeks 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25
Naive and Switch Cohorts: Change From Baseline up to Week 25 in eGFR, as Calculated From Central Serum Creatinine
GFR is an index of kidney function that describes the flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidneys. It was categorized according to CKD staging criteria. eGFR was calculated using the creatinine-based bedside Schwartz equation for adolescents and 2009 CKD- EPI creatinine equation for adults. Formula for creatinine-based bedside Schwartz equation was eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m^2)=0.413*(ht/sCr), if height is expressed in centimeters, or 41.3*(ht/sCr), if height is expressed in meters, and formula for 2009 CKD-EPI creatinine equation was eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m^2)= 141*min(sCr /κ,1)^α*max(sCr/κ,1)^ -1.209*0.993^AGE[*1.018 if female][*1.159 if black], κ was 0.7 for females and 0.9 for males, α was -0.329 for females and -0.411 for males, min indicated the minimum of sCr/κ or 1, and max indicated the maximum of sCr/κ or 1.
Measured: Baseline, Weeks 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25
Naive and Switch Cohorts: Percentage of Participants With Change in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stage From Baseline to Week 25, as Assessed Based on eGFR Calculated From Central Serum Creatinine
CKD stage assessed using eGFR, classified per National Kidney Foundation CKD staging criteria: grade 1 (≥90 mL/min/1.73 m²; normal or high), grade 2 (60-89 mL/min/1.73 m²; mildly decreased), grade 3a (45-59 mL/min/1.73 m²; mildly to moderately decreased), grade 3b (30-44 mL/min/1.73 m²; moderately to severely decreased), grade 4 (15-29 mL/min/1.73 m²; severely decreased), grade 5 (<15 mL/min/1.73 m²; kidney failure). Change in CKD stage from baseline to Week 25, categorized as improved (participants who improved in CKD stage from baseline to Week 25 were based on number of participants who completed 24 weeks \& were not stage 1 at baseline), stable (no change), or worsened (CKD stage 1-4 at baseline) among participants who completed 24 weeks of treatment. Percentages rounded off.
Measured: Baseline up to Week 25 (after 24 weeks on treatment)
Naive and Switch Cohorts: Observed Value of Platelet Count
Measured: Baseline and Week 25
Naive and Switch Cohorts: Observed Value of Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)
Measured: Baseline and Week 25
Naive and Switch Cohorts: Observed Value of Hemoglobin
Measured: Baseline and Week 25
Naive and Switch Cohorts: Change From Baseline in Platelet Count at Week 25
Measured: Baseline and Week 25
Naive and Switch Cohorts: Change From Baseline in LDH at Week 25
Measured: Baseline and Week 25
Naive and Switch Cohorts: Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin at Week 25
Measured: Baseline and Week 25
Naive and Switch Cohorts: Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) Score at Week 25
Fatigue was measured by the FACIT-Fatigue questionnaire in adult participants only (≥18 years at baseline). It consists of 13 items that assess fatigue using a 7-day recall period. Items are scored on a 0= 'Not at all' to 4= 'Very much so' response scale. Relevant items are reverse scored, and all items are summed to create total score where higher scores are indicative of better functioning (i.e., less fatigue). The FACIT-Fatigue total score ranges from 0 to 52, with higher scores representing less fatigue; therefore, an increase in score represents an improvement in fatigue. Only categories with non-zero values were reported.
Measured: Baseline, Weeks 1 (Day 1), 2, 5, 9, 17, and 25
Naive Cohort: Percentage of Participants With Platelet Count ≥ LLN at Two Separate Assessments, Obtained at Least 4 Weeks Apart (Minimum of 26 Days), by Week 25 (After 24 Weeks on Treatment)
This event was confirmed at two separate assessments obtained at least 4 weeks (a minimum of 26 days) apart and any measurement in between. Percentages are rounded off.
Measured: Baseline up to Week 25 (after 24 weeks on treatment)
Naive Cohort: Percentage of Participants With LDH ≤ Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) at Two Separate Assessments, Obtained at Least 4 Weeks Apart (Minimum of 26 Days), by Week 25 (After 24 Weeks on Treatment)
Percentages are rounded off.
Measured: From baseline through Week 25 (after 24 weeks on treatment)
Naive Cohort: Percentage of Participants With ≥25% Decrease in Serum Creatinine From Baseline at Two Separate Assessments, Obtained at Least 4 Weeks Apart (Minimum of 26 Days), by Week 25 (After 24 Weeks on Treatment)
Percentages are rounded off.
Measured: Baseline up to Week 25 (after 24 weeks on treatment)
Naive Cohort: Time to Complete Thrombotic Microangiopathy Response (cTMAr)
cTMAr was defined by meeting all of the following criteria at two separate assessments, obtained at least 4 weeks (a minimum of 26 days) apart, and any measurement in between: Platelet count ≥ LLN; LDH ≤ ULN; and ≥ 25% decrease in serum creatinine from baseline and > ULN. Kaplan-Meier (K-M) method was used to estimate median time to cTMAr. Data for participants who did not reach cTMAr during the primary treatment period were censored at the date of their last visit when cTMAr was assessed during the primary treatment period or prior to the treatment discontinuation, whichever was earlier. Data for participants who received a prohibited therapy during the primary treatment period were censored at the date of the first received prohibited therapy during the primary treatment period or prior to the treatment discontinuation, whichever was earlier.
Measured: From baseline up to Week 25
Naive Cohort: Duration of cTMAr
cTMAr was defined by meeting following criteria at 2 separate assessments, obtained at least 4 weeks (minimum of 26 days) apart \& any measurement in between: Platelet count ≥ LLN; LDH ≤ ULN; \& ≥25% decrease in serum creatinine from baseline \& > ULN. Duration of cTMAr was calculated as time from start of cTMAr to end of cTMAr. End of cTMAr was when all above-mentioned criteria were met during same visit \& confirmed at an assessment that took place at least 4 weeks (minimum of 26 days) later. K-M method was used to estimate median duration of cTMAr. Data for participants with no observed end of cTMAr at clinical cutoff date (CCOD) were censored at the date of their last visit when cTMAr was assessed before CCOD or before treatment discontinuation, whichever was earlier. Data for participants who received a prohibited therapy prior to the CCOD were censored at date of the first received prohibited therapy or prior to the treatment discontinuation, whichever was earlier.
Measured: From baseline up to primary CCOD (up to 207 weeks)
Naive Cohort: Percentage of Participants With cTMAr Ongoing at Week 25
cTMAr at Week 25 was defined by meeting all of the three cTMAr criteria at Week 25: Platelet count ≥ LLN; LDH ≤ ULN; and ≥ 25% decrease in serum creatinine from baseline and > ULN. Percentage has been rounded off.
Measured: At Week 25
Switch Cohort: Percentage of Participants With Maintained Thrombotic Microangiopathy Control (mTMAc) From Baseline Through Week 25 (After 24 Weeks on Treatment)
mTMAc was considered not maintained if all of the following criteria were met during one of the visits between baseline and Week 25, and were confirmed at an assessment that took place at least 4 weeks (a minimum of 26 days) later: Platelet count < LLN; LDH > ULN; and 25% increase in serum creatinine from baseline and > ULN.
Measured: From baseline through Week 25 (After 24 weeks on treatment)
All Cohorts: Number of Participants With AEs
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product, regardless of causal attribution. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.
Measured: Up to approximately 8 years
All Cohorts: Number of Participants With Injection-Site Reactions, Infusion-Related Reactions, Hypersensitivity, Malignant Hypertension and Infections
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product, regardless of causal attribution. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Infusion-related and injection-site reactions were adverse events that occured during or within 24 hours after crovalimab administration and were judged to be related to study drug infusion or injection.
Measured: Up to approximately 8 years
All Cohorts: Number of Participants With AE Leading to Study Drug Discontinuation
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product, regardless of causal attribution. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.
Measured: Up to approximately 8 years
Switch Cohort: Number of Participants With Clinical Manifestations of Drug-target-drug Complexes (DTDCs)
In this study, the risk of DTDC is relevant only to participants who might switch to crovalimab from eculizumab or ravulizumab treatment at study enrollment, and to participants who discontinued crovalimab and switch to eculizumab or ravulizumab. Type III hypersensitivity may occur due to the transient formation of DTDCs made of eculizumab or ravulizumab, crovalimab, and C5 in participants switching from eculizumab or ravulizumab to crovalimab.
Measured: Up to approximately 8 years
All Cohorts: Crovalimab Serum Concentration
Measured: Up to approximately 8 years
All Cohorts: Percentage of Participants With Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADAs) to Crovalimab

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Crovalimab in people with Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 41 sites in 16 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 12 inclusion and 24 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 41 sites in United States, Germany, Mexico, Turkey (Türkiye), Brazil and 11 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 30 Oct 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?
Naive Cohort: Percentage of Participants With Complete Thrombotic Microangiopathy Response (cTMAr) Anytime From Baseline to Week 25 (time frame: Baseline up to Week 25 (after 24 weeks on treatment)). 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 30 Oct 2026.
