E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To demonstrate the efficacy of early Eculizumab administration added on standard of care BP control on dialysis-dependence at month 6 in HE-aHUS patients with severely impaired initial renal function. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the role of complement biomarkers in predicting therapeutic response To evaluate the frequency of complement genetic rare variants in this population To evaluate the efficacy of early eculizumab administration added on standard of care BP control on 3-month (W13) and 12 months renal replacement therapy risk To evaluate the frequency of severe infections in both groups To evaluate the time to resolution of hemolysis and acute dialysis To evaluate the frequency of histological lesions and their prognosis (if kidney biopsy is performed) To evaluate the medico-economic impact of Eculizumab.
Objective of any potential ancillary study: biological collection To identify new genetic variants related to HE-aHUS. This part of the project will have a complementary funding

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
6-month response to therapy, as defined by the absence of any of the following events: i) lack of renal efficacy at 6-month follow-up: persistent renal replacement therapy, eGFR <15ml/mn/1,73m2, or patient death; ii) lack of early hemolysis control: persistent hemolysis at W2 despite well conducted antihypertensive therapy leading to Eculizumab conversion [control group]. |
