About this study

Official title: A Single Arm, Open-Label Study to Assess the Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacodynamic Effects of Pozelimab and Cemdisiran Combination Therapy in Patients With Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria Who Switch From Eculizumab Therapy

  • To evaluate the effect of the combination treatment on red blood cell (RBC) transfusion requirements
  • To evaluate the effect of the combination treatment on hemoglobin levels
  • To evaluate the effect of the combination treatment on clinical outcome assessments (COAs) measuring fatigue and health related quality of life (HRQoL)
  • To assess the concentrations of total pozelimab and eculizumab in serum; and total cemdisiran and C5 protein in plasma

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 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 2 inclusion and 13 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 29 Aug 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. 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 25 Jun 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?

OLTP: Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: Up to Day 225). 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 29 Aug 2025.
