Characteristics and Long-Term Efficacy of 25 Patients with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria Treated with Eculizumab or Ravulizumab in Taiwan (ASH 2024) - "The median LDH level was 6.9 (range 1.67-14.74) times the upper limit of normal (ULN) at baseline.Before receiving eculizumab or ravulizumab, thirteen patients (52%) had previously received other therapies, including steroids in nine patients (36%), cyclosporine and/or anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) in five (20%), danazol in five (20%), and crovalimab in one (4%) who had been enrolled in a trial...Except for one patient who achieved remission of PNH and three patients who crossed over to clinical trials of iptacopan or pozelimab/cemdisiran, seven patients discontinued eculizumab...Eculizumab and ravulizumab were well-tolerated, and no cases of meningococcal disease were reported.Conclusion : Our experiences demonstrated the clinical characteristics and long-term efficacy and safety of eculizumab and ravulizumab in Taiwanese PNH patients with high disease burdens. However, a major reason for discontinuing treatment was the need for frequent transfusions, which did not meet..."

Novel Combination of Pozelimab and Cemdisiran (Poze-Cemdi) Achieved Greater Control of Intravascular Hemolysis in Patients with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria Compared to Ravulizumab (GlobeNewswire) - P3 | N=190 | ACCESS-1 (NCT05133531) | Sponsor: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals | "Results for those treated with poze-cemdi (n=25), compared to ravulizumab (n=23), were as follows: i) 96% achieved adequate LDH control (≤1.5 x ULN) across study visits (weeks 8-26) on average with poze-cemdi, compared to 80% with ravulizumab. At 26 weeks, 5 patients receiving ravulizumab, compared with 1 patient receiving poze-cemdi, did not achieve meaningful LDH control. ii) 93% achieved LDH normalization (≤1 x ULN) across study visits (week 8-26) on average with poze-cemdi, compared to 65% with ravulizumab. iii) 84% decrease in LDH from baseline at week 26 with poze-cemdi compared to 74% with ravulizumab. iv) The CH50 profile observed with poze-cemdi demonstrated complete and uninterrupted inhibition of terminal complement, compared to the profile for ravulizumab showing loss of inhibition at the end of the dosing interval."

The most frequent symptoms reported in our sample using the PNH-SQ, fatigue, dyspnea, and headaches, were aligned with observational study data. The sample of observations from the three trials was strongly skewed towards absence of symptoms, probably reflecting the low symptomatic severity of patients included in the study."

Pozelimab: First Approval. (PubMed, Drugs) - "In the USA, pozelimab has been granted orphan drug designations for the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) [both as a monotherapy and in combination with cemdisiran] and for the treatment of myasthenia gravis (in combination with cemdisiran). Pozelimab is also undergoing clinical development in several other countries worldwide for the treatment of CD55-deficient PLE, PNH and myasthenia gravis. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of pozelimab leading to this first approval for the treatment of adults, and paediatric patients aged ≥ 1 year with CD55-deficient PLE, also known as CHAPLE disease, in the USA."
