Optimizing PNH treatment with the complement inhibitor pegcetacoplan: A case report
(ASH 2025)
- "The current treatment landscape includes 6 approved complement cascade inhibitors: 3 C5 inhibitors (eculizumab, ravulizumab, crovalimab), 1 C3/C3b inhibitor (pegcetacoplan), 1 factor B inhibitor (iptacopan), and 1 factor D inhibitor used as add-on treatment (danicopan)...Concomitant medications included apixaban, penicillin, and folic acid. In November 2020, her platelets count declined, and a bone marrow evaluation was diagnostic for moderate aplastic anemia (55-65% cellularity for age) and she was started on eltrombopag and cyclosporin. Despite ravulizumab and eltrombopag treatments, the patient developed significant anemia related to extravascular hemolysis (hemoglobin, 5.7 g/dL; LDH, 495 U/L; C5, 26.1 mg/dL [high]; complement hemolytic activity 50 [CH50], 7 U/mL [low])...After receiving both pegcetacoplan and iptacopan for 1 week and rivaroxaban 10 mg once daily for 48 hours, pegcetacoplan treatment ended on May 16, 2024...

Overview of treatment advances with complement inhibitors in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
(ASH 2025)
- P3 | "The success of terminal C5 inhibitors emboldened researchers to investigate proximal complement inhibitors that have the potential to control both IVH and EVH, such as pegcetacoplan (C3/C3b inhibitor) and iptacopan (factor B inhibitor), as well as danicopan (factor D inhibitor) used as an add-on to C5 inhibitors...In the most recent analysis of the phase 3 ALPHA trial (NCT04469465), 57 patients (mean age 53 years) with PNH and residual clinically significant EVH (Hb ≤9.5 g/dL with ARC ≥120 × 10 9 /L) while receiving ravulizumab (63%) or eculizumab (37%) for a mean of 5 years were given danicopan in addition to their current C5 inhibitor for 12 weeks.[Kulasekararaj A, et al... Across clinical studies that included patients with PNH and Hb ≥10 g/dL after C5 inhibition, proximal complement inhibitors improved measures of residual anemia and quality of life to clinically significant degrees (increases of ≥2 g/dL in Hb levels and ≥3–5 points in FACIT-Fatigue..."

Low risk for meningococcal and other encapsulated bacteria infections with systemically administered pegcetacoplan in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and C3 glomerulopathies
(ASH 2025)
- P3 | "Clinical benefits of the initially available C5 inhibitors that blocked terminal complement activation (eculizumab, ravulizumab, crovalimab) paved the way for the development of proximal inhibitors, including the C3/C3b inhibitor pegcetacoplan, the factor B inhibitor iptacopan, and the add-on (to C5 inhibitors) factor D inhibitor danicopan. Understanding the safety profile of pegcetacoplan and other complement-targeted therapies, especially the risk for meningococcal and other encapsulated bacteria infections, will help physicians and patients make informed treatment decisions for individuals with complement-mediated conditions. For nearly over 7 years, systemically administered pegcetacoplan has had a consistently low rate of encapsulated bacteria infections in patients with PNH, C3G, or primary IC-MPGN. These findings may reflect effective risk mitigation strategies."

Efficacy and safety of iptacopan in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH): A real-world study of 35 patients from anhui, China
(ASH 2025)
- "All received iptacopan (200 mg twice daily), with 12 patients also taking cyclosporine and 8 receiving testosterone undecanoate...Safety profile: Mild rash occurred in 6 patients (17.1%), all on concurrent prednisone; symptoms resolved after stopping prednisone, with no recurrence on iptacopan monotherapy...Responses are particularly robust in classical PNH and younger patients, while those with BMF may benefit from early combination therapy. Its favorable safety profile supports long-term use, offering valuable insights for individualized PNH management, particularly in Asian populations."

Oral iptacopan monotherapy demonstrates clinically meaningful hemoglobin increases in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria with baseline hemoglobin levels 10 to <12 g/dl on anti-C5 therapy: Subgroup analysis of the appulse-pnh Phase 3b trial
(ASH 2025)
- P3 | "Iptacopan, the first oral selectivefactor B inhibitor, demonstrated superior efficacy vs anti-C5 therapy (eculizumab/ravulizumab) inpatients with PNH and Hb <10 g/dL on anti-C5 in APPLY-PNH (NCT04558918). In APPULSE-PNH, switching from anti-C5 to oral iptacopan monotherapy led to clinicallymeaningful increases in Hb in patients with PNH and Hb ≥10 g/dL. Results in patients with BL Hb 10 to<12 g/dL were consistent with the overall study findings. Iptacopan was well tolerated."

Serum ferritin changes in iptacopan-treated patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
(ASH 2025)
- "Conversely, when IVH is controlled by terminal complement component 5(C5) inhibitors e.g. eculizumab, some patients remain anemic due to extravascular hemolysis (EVH), andthey may accumulate iron from frequent blood transfusions and/or increased intestinal iron absorption,which may lead to iron overload (IO). Treatment with iptacopan normalizes SF in anti-C5-naïve PNH patients with low SF byblocking IVH. In contrast to anti-C5 therapies, SF does not increase during iptacopan treatment in anti-C5-pretreated PNH patients, indicating that these patients no longer demonstrate EVH-related, persistentanemia, or require blood transfusions. Thus, by targeting IVH and EVH, iptacopan restores ironhomeostasis to a more physiological state, possibly preventing ID and IO in patients with PNH."

Different complement inhibitors, whether targeting upstream or downstream components ofthe complement system, demonstrate varying effects on PNH disease control. Hemoglobin levels duringtreatment are an independent factor influencing therapeutic outcomes, and RBC lifespan is closelyassociated with hemoglobin dynamics. RBC lifespan provides a quantitative measure of extravascularhemolysis and serves as..."
