Lungs: hypoxemia or any need for noninvasive or invasive positive pressure ventilation. c. Cardiovascular: pulmonary hypertension diagnosed by a cardiologist using cardiac catheterization, or pulmonary hypertension criteria on echocardiography or arterial hypertension, defined by systolic blood pressure (BP) ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg at baseline or hypertension requiring > 2 medications (excluding diuretics). d. Serositis: clinically significant pleural effusion or pericardial effusion requiring surgical therapy (e.g., pericardiocentesis/ thoracocentesis). e. CNS: seizures attributable to posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. f. GI tract: presence of biopsy-proven GI TA-TMA. Patients with GI bleeding (hematemesis or hematochezia) will be excluded. 6. Women of childbearing potential, defined as any women who have experienced menarche and who are NOT permanently sterile or postmenopausal, must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and agree to use protocol-defined methods of contraception for the duration of the study and 8 weeks after their last IMP dose. Note: Postmenopausal is defined as having had 12 consecutive months with no menses without an alternative medical cause. 7. Men must agree to the following for the duration of the study and 8 weeks after their last dose of IMP: a. Avoid fathering a child. b. Use protocol-defined methods of contraception. c. Refrain from donating sperm. 8. Patient and/or legally authorized representative must be capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Positive direct Coombs test. 2. Known familial or acquired ADAMTS13 deficiency. 3. Known Shiga toxin‐related hemolytic uremic syndrome. 4. Known bone marrow or graft failure. 5. Diagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation. 6. Diagnosis of veno-occlusive disease (VOD). 7. Active GI bleeding (hematemesis or hematochezia) at baseline. 8. Body weight < 30 kg and > 100 kg. 9. Uncontrolled systemic bacterial or fungal infection, presence or suspicion of sepsis. 10. Previously or currently treated with a complement inhibitor (approved or investigational). 11. Pregnancy or breastfeeding. 12. Positive human immunodeficiency virus antibody at screening or documented in pre-HSCT medical record. 13. Hepatitis C virus detectable by polymerase chain reaction at screening or documented in pre-HSCT medical record. 14. Chronic inactive hepatitis B virus with viral loads > 1000 IU/mL (> 5000 copies/mL) at screening or documented in pre-HSCT medical record. Eligible patients who are chronic active carriers (≤ 1000 IU/mL) must receive prophylactic antiviral treatment (e.g., entecavir, tenofovir, lamivudine) according to local country guidelines. 15. Inability to cooperate with study procedures or any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, could increase the patient’s risk by participating in the study or confound the outcome of the study. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
• Pegcetacoplan PK parameters: o AUC0-tau, Cmax, Tmax and Ctrough.
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Days 1, 3 and 5, and, from Week 2 onwards, at all other visits |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
• PD endpoints: o Absolute levels, change from baseline, and % change from baseline to Week 24 in biomarkers of complement activation: sC5b-9, C3a, C3, Bb, C4a, functional assays for classical and alternative complement pathways. • Clinical response at Week 24 from treatment start, defined as improvement in laboratory markers and improvement in clinical status as follows: Laboratory markers: o Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) less than 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) and o Platelet count ≥ 50 000/ mm3 without transfusion support during the prior 7 days. Clinical status: at least 1 of the following (without deterioration in other organs attributable to TA-TMA): o Renal response – requires > 40 % reduction in creatinine, or normalization of creatinine, or discontinuation of renal replacement therapy, or reduction of proteinuria < 30 mg/dL or random urine protein/creatinine ratio (rUPCR) < 2 mg/mg. o Pulmonary response – requires extubation and discontinuation of positive pressure ventilation. o Gastrointestinal (GI) response – applicable only to patients with biopsy proven GI TA-TMA and requires improvement in GI function as determined by the Mount Sinai Acute Graft-versus-host disease International Consortium (MAGIC) criteria (no or intermittent nausea, vomiting or anorexia attributed to TA-TMA for upper GI; stool output/day for lower GI as follows: < 500 mL/day or < 3 episodes/day. o Neurological response – requires improvement in reversible neurological conditions (e.g., cessation of seizures or controlled under medication, resolution of mental alteration; residual radiologic signs are acceptable without clinical symptomatology), or stabilization of irreversible. neurological conditions (e.g., stability of neurological deficits following stroke without further deterioration or subsequent strokes). o Freedom from transfusion – requires absence of platelet or packed red blood cells (PRBC) transfusions attributed to TA TMA during the prior 7 days (only applicable if patient was undergoing platelet or PRBC transfusion at baseline). o Cardiovascular response – requires resolution of pulmonary hypertension (may receive anti-pulmonary hypertension medications if still on maintenance therapy), or hypertension control on no more than 2 medications excluding diuretics (applicable only to patients with severe hypertension at baseline). o Serositis response – requires no evidence of clinically significant pericardial or pleural effusion requiring surgical therapy (e.g., pericardiocentesis/ thoracocentesis). Patients meeting intercurrent events, including use of prohibited medication or study withdrawal before Week 24 (with the exception of non-TA-TMA related death), will be considered as failures/nonresponders. • Overall survival at Day 100 from date of TA-TMA diagnosis. |
