What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage Change From Baseline in LDH at Week 12

    Blood samples were collected for measurement of serum LDH at specified timepoints. Statistical analysis was performed using a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM), including the percentage change from baseline of LDH at the scheduled visits from Week 1 to Week 12 as the dependent variable, with the fixed categorical effect of visit, fixed continuous effect of LDH baseline value as covariates, and participant as random effect. Assessed at baseline, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks, Week 12 reported. A decrease indicated a reduction in disease activity.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product that did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the study intervention. A TEAE was any AE that started during or after the first infusion of the study intervention. A summary of all Serious Adverse Events and Other Adverse Events (nonserious) regardless of causality is located in the 'Reported Adverse Events' Section.

    Measured: Baseline through Week 64

  2. Serum Concentration of Eculizumab

    Blood samples were collected for measurement of serum concentrations of eculizumab at specified timepoints. No study intervention administered on Day 449. Results reported as micrograms/milliliter (ug/mL).

    Measured: Day 1, Day 29, Day 85, Day 169, Day 253, Day 337, Day 421, Day 449

  3. Change From Baseline in Serum Free Complement 5 (C5) Concentration

    Blood samples were collected for measurement of serum concentration of free C5 at specified timepoints. No study intervention administered on Day 449. A decrease indicated a reduction in disease activity.

    Measured: Day 1, Day 29, Day 85, Day 169, Day 253, Day 337, Day 421, Day 449

  4. Change From Baseline in Serum Total C5 Concentration

    Blood samples were collected for measurement of serum concentration of total C5 at specified timepoints. No study intervention administered on Day 449. A decrease indicated a reduction in disease activity.

    Measured: Day 1, Day 29, Day 85, Day 169, Day 253, Day 337, Day 421, Day 449

  5. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Antidrug Antibodies (ADAs) to Eculizumab

    Blood samples were collected for measurement of treatment-emergent ADAs to eculizumab at specified timepoints.

    Measured: Baseline through Week 64

  6. Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue Score at Week 12

    The FACIT-Fatigue is a 13-item questionnaire that assesses self-reported fatigue and its impact upon daily activities and function over the preceding 7 days. The FACIT-Fatigue scale is a collection of quality of life (QoL) questionnaires pertaining to the management of fatigue symptoms due to a chronic illness. Participants scored each item on a 5-point scale: 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). Total scores were calculated as the sum from all 13 items and ranged from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating an increased QoL. Analysis was performed using a MMRM, including FACIT-Fatigue score change from baseline values at the scheduled visits from Week 1 to Week 12 as the dependent variable, with the fixed categorical effect of study visit, fixed continuous effect of baseline value of FACIT-Fatigue, and participant as random effect. Assessed at baseline, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks, Week 12 reported.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  7. Percentage of Participants With Breakthrough Hemolysis

    Breakthrough hemolysis was defined as at least 1 new or worsening symptom or sign of intravascular hemolysis (fatigue, hemoglobinuria, abdominal pain, shortness of breath [dyspnea], anemia [hemoglobin <10 grams/deciliter], major adverse vascular event [including thrombosis], dysphagia, or erectile dysfunction) in the presence of elevated LDH ≥2 times (*) upper limit of normal (ULN), after prior LDH reduction to <1.5* ULN on therapy.

    Measured: Baseline through Week 12

  8. Percentage of Participants Achieving LDH Normalization

    Blood samples were collected for measurement of LDH at specified timepoints. LDH normalization was defined as LDH ≤ULN.

    Measured: Baseline through Week 12

  9. Percentage of Participants Achieving Transfusion Avoidance

    Transfusion avoidance was defined as remaining transfusion free (that is, had not received any transfusion) and did not require transfusion as per protocol.

    Measured: Baseline through Week 12

  10. Percentage of Participants With LDH ≤1.5* ULN at Week 12

    Blood samples were collected for measurement of LDH at specified timepoints.

    Measured: Baseline through Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Eculizumab in people with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria, run by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 7 sites in China.

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 3 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 1 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in China. 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 1 Jun 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?

Percentage Change From Baseline in LDH at Week 12 (time frame: Baseline, Week 12). 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 1 Jun 2026.
