End point title |
Intravascular haemolysis measured by LDH AUC [1] | ||||||||
End point description |
A quantitative assessment of haemolysis was obtained by calculating the AUC for LDH from Baseline to Week 52, and the data were analysed using a Wilcoxon signed rank test.

||||||||
End point type |
Primary
|
||||||||
End point timeframe |
Through week 52
|
||||||||
Notes [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point. Justification: This study is a single arm trial and the system did not support statistical analyses for this single arm trial. |

End point title |
Levels of fatigue | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
End point description |
The Quality-of-Life (QoL) instrument FACIT-Fatigue scale version 4 was utilised to collect QoL data. The scoring guideline for the FACIT-Fatigue scale version 4 instrument was used to calculate the QoL score; per the corresponding scoring guideline, scores can range from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating improvement in fatigue. Data reported indicate change of FACIT-Fatigue Scores Between Baseline at several time points.
