-
To evaluate the effect of the combination treatment on red blood cell (RBC) transfusion requirements
-
To evaluate the effect of the combination treatment on hemoglobin levels
-
To evaluate the effect of the combination treatment on clinical outcome assessments (COAs) measuring fatigue and health related quality of life (HRQoL)
-
To assess the concentrations of total pozelimab and eculizumab in serum; and total cemdisiran and C5 protein in plasma
-
To assess the immunogenicity of pozelimab and cemdisiran

- Change in fatigue as measured by Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) scale [Baseline to Day 225]
OLTP The FACIT-Fatigue is a 13-item, self-reported PRO measure assessing an individual's level of fatigue during their usual daily activities over the past week. This questionnaire is part of the FACIT measurement system, a compilation of questions measuring health-related QoL in patients with cancer and other chronic illnesses. The FACIT-fatigue assesses the level of fatigue using a Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Scores range from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating a higher quality of life.
- Change in health related quality of life (HRQoL) as measured by the global health status subscale of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC)- Quality of Life Cancer Patients Questionnaire (QLQ) - 30 Scale [Baseline to Day 225]
OLTP EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a 30-item subject self-report questionnaire composed of both multi-item and single scales, including a global health status/quality of life (GHS/QoL) scale. Participants rate items on a four-point scale, with 1 as "not at all" and 4 as "very much." A change of 5 - 10 points is considered a small. A change of 10 - 20 points is considered a moderate change.
