About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label, C5 Inhibitor-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Pozelimab and Cemdisiran Combination Therapy in Patients With Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria Who Are Complement Inhibitor Treatment-Naive or Have Not Recently Received Complement Inhibitor Therapy

This study is researching a clinical treatment combination with two experimental drugs called pozelimab and cemdisiran. The study is focused on people with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). The aim of the study is to see how safe and effective the pozelimab + cemdisiran combination is for people with PNH and how the combination compares with 2 existing treatments: ravulizumab and eculizumab.

The pozelimab + cemdisiran combination may be referred to as "study drugs". Ravulizumab and eculizumab may also be called the "comparator drug".

The study is looking at several research questions, including:

  • How effective is the pozelimab + cemdisiran combination compared to ravulizumab?
  • How effective is pozelimab + cemdisiran combination compared to eculizumab?
  • What side effects may happen from taking the study drugs?
  • How much study drugs are in the blood at different times?
  • Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drugs (which could make the study drugs less effective or could lead to side effects)
Being tested

  3. Adequate control of hemolysis

    Cohort B LDH ≤1.5 × ULN at each visit

    Measured: From week 8 through week 26, inclusive

Secondary outcomes (28)
  1. Maintenance of adequate control of hemolysis

    Cohort A and B LDH ≤1.5 × ULN

    Measured: From week 8 through week 26, inclusive

  2. Breakthrough hemolysis

    Cohort A and B LDH ≥2 × ULN per the protocol

    Measured: From post-baseline day 1 through week 26

  3. Adequate control of hemolysis

    Cohort A LDH ≤1.5 × ULN

    Measured: From week 8 through week 26, inclusive

  4. Hemoglobin stabilization

    Cohort A and B Patients who do not receive an RBC transfusion and have no decrease in hemoglobin level per the protocol

    Measured: From day 1 (post-baseline) through week 26

    Cohort A and B FACIT-Fatigue Scale is a 13-item, self-reported PRO measure assessing an individual's level of fatigue during their usual daily activities over the past week. This questionnaire is part of the FACIT measurement system, a compilation of questions measuring health-related quality of life (QoL) in patients with cancer and other chronic illnesses. The FACIT-fatigue assesses the level of fatigue using a Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Scores range from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating greater fatigue.

    Measured: From baseline to week 26

Participants rate items on a 4-point scale, with 1 as "not at all" and 4 as "very much."

    Measured: From baseline to week 26

  9. Change in global health status (GHS)/QoL scale score on the EORTC-QLC-C30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ravulizumab, Pozelimab and Cemdisiran in people with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria, run by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals at 68 sites in 24 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 68 sites in South Korea, Taiwan, India, Japan, Spain and 19 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Percent change in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (time frame: From baseline to week 26). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 Apr 2026.
