Study start date: August 11, 2025Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This study aims to investigate how well the medication danicopan works when added to existing treatments ravulizumab or eculizumab. It focuses on children and teenagers who have a rare blood condition called paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), which causes red blood cells to break down too easily, leading to a condition called extravascular hemolysis. The goal is to see if adding danicopan can better manage their condition by stabilizing their hemoglobin levels, which might help improve their overall health and reduce symptoms. Participants in this study will continue their current treatment with either ravulizumab or eculizumab and will also take danicopan. The effectiveness of this combination will be measured by checking changes in their hemoglobin levels after 12 weeks. By evaluating these changes, researchers hope to determine if danicopan provides additional benefits in managing the symptoms of PNH. The study will help doctors understand if this new treatment approach can offer better outcomes for young patients dealing with this challenging condition.

Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details
6 patients to be enrolledTotal number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.
Treatment Study
These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.

How participants are assigned to different groups/arms
In this clinical study, participants are assigned to groups based on specific criteria, such as their medical history or a doctor's recommendation. This approach ensures that treatments are given to those who may benefit the most, based on known factors.

Other Ways to Assign Participants
Randomized allocation
: Participants are assigned randomly, like flipping a coin, to ensure fairness and reduce bias.

None (Single-arm trial)
: If the study has only one group, all participants receive the same treatment, and no allocation is needed.

How treatments are given to participants
In this study, all participants receive the same treatment. This approach is often used to evaluate the effects of a single intervention without comparing it to another.

Other Ways to Assign Treatments
Parallel assignment
: Participants are split into separate groups, each receiving a different treatment.

Cross-over assignment
: Participants switch between treatments during the study.

Factorial assignment
: Participants receive different combinations of treatments.

Sequential assignment
: Participants receive treatments one after another in a specific order, possibly based on individual responses.

Other assignment
: Treatment assignment does not follow a standard or predefined design.

How the effectiveness of the treatment is controlled
In a non placebo-controlled study, no participants receive an inert substance (placebo) to compare outcomes. Instead, all participants receive either the experimental treatment or an alternative treatment (often the Standard of Care). This method allows researchers to compare the effects of the experimental treatment with those of a different active intervention, rather than a placebo.

Other Options
Placebo-Controlled
: A placebo is used to compare the effects of the experimental treatment with those of an inert substance, isolating the true treatment effect.

How the interventions assigned to participants is kept confidential
Everyone involved in the study knows which treatment is being given. This is typically used when it's not possible or necessary to hide the treatment details from participants or researchers.

Other Ways to Mask Information
Single-blind
: Participants do not know which treatment they are receiving, but researchers do.

Double-blind
: Neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given.

Triple-blind
: Participants, researchers, and outcome assessors do not know which treatment is given.

Quadruple-blind
: Participants, researchers, outcome assessors, and care providers all do not know which treatment is given.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Confirmed diagnosis of PNH. * CS-EVH defined by: Anemia: Hgb ≤ 11.0 g/dL, and absolute reticulocyte count ≥ 100 × 109/L * Treated with ravulizumab or eculizumab for at least 12 weeks immediately preceding Day 1, the dose received should be stable during this period, and there should be no anticipated changes in dosage or interval during the first 12 weeks of this study. * all participants must be vaccinated against meningococcal infection from serogroups A, C, W, and Y and serogroup B within 3 years prior to, or at least 14 days prior to Day 1 * vaccinated against Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and Streptococcus pneumoniae Exclusion Criteria: * Platelet count \< 30000/μL or there is a need for platelet transfusions. * ANC \< 500/μL. * Clinically significant laboratory abnormalities related to liver function, including: * ALT \> 2 × ULN or ALT \> 3 × ULN for participants with documented liver iron overload defined by serum ferritin values ≥ 500 ng/mL. * Direct bilirubin \> 2 × ULN, unless, in the Investigator's opinion, is due to hemolysis or Gilbert's syndrome based on medical history. * Current evidence of biliary cholestasis. * Known aplastic anemia or other bone marrow failure that requires HSCT or other therapies, including anti-thymocyte globulin and immunosuppressants unless the dosage of immunosuppressant has been stable for at least 12 weeks before Day 1 and is expected to remain stable through Week 12. * History of a major organ transplant (eg, heart, lung, kidney, liver) or HSCT. * Known or suspected complement deficiency. * Active bacterial or viral infection, a body temperature \> 38°C on 2 consecutive daily measures, evidence of other infection, or history of any febrile illness within 14 days prior to first study intervention administration.
