Treatment Study
Summary
Study start date: May 8, 2018
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of danicopan in improving anemia, as measured by increased blood hemoglobin, when given with eculizumab (a drug commonly used for treatment of PNH) for 24 weeks in participants with PNH. The 24-week treatment period was followed by a long-term extension phase. In the extension phase, participants received the same danicopan dose plus eculizumab as they were receiving at the end of 24-week treatment phase. Results are reported for the 24-week treatment period.
