E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective is to evaluate the long-term safety of eculizumab in patients with transfusion-dependent hemolytic PNH. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial | |
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
1st Sub-study : Pharmacokinetic / Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) sub-study E05-001_PK-PD_version 1, date 2006-08-01 The purpose of this sub-study is to increase the understanding of the Pharmakinetic and Pharmacodynamic properties of the 900mg dosing level in PNH patients. Thus, this substudy will permit to generate additional multiple-dose PK/PD information for the Phase III and the proposed commercial eculizumab dosing regimen in PNH patients. |
