ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Subjects With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Including by Severity
Part A:From first dose of study drug (Part A Day 1) up to 30days after last dose of study drug in Part A,approximately 366days Part B:From first dose of study drug (Part B Day 1) up to 56days after last dose of study drug in Part B,approximately 980days
TEAEs were defined as adverse events (AEs) that occurred after dosing on Day 1 and up to 56 days after the last dose of study drug. A treatment-related TEAE is defined as a TEAE with a relationship to study drug of probably, possibly, unlikely, or unrelated. A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any AE that resulted in death; was life-threatening; required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; resulted in persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of ability to conduct normal life functions; was a congenital anomaly or birth defect. TEAEs were graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.03 based on: Grade 1: Mild; Grade 2: Moderate; Grade 3: Severe; Grade 4: Life-threatening; Grade 5: Death related to AE.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin at Weeks 48 and 132Part A: Baseline (Day 1 of Part A) and Week 48; Part B: Baseline (Day 1 of Part B) and Week 132
Hematology assessments of hemoglobin were made at the last measurement prior to the first dose of pegcetacoplan (baseline) and periodically throughout the different parts of the treatment period. Mean change from baseline in hemoglobin results were summarized from Part A baseline for Part A reporting groups and from Part B baseline for Part B reporting groups.
SecondaryNumber of Subjects Who Received Red Blood Cell (RBC) TransfusionsFrom Day 1 up to Week 132The number of on-study RBC transfusions were monitored throughout the treatment period.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Absolute Reticulocyte Count (ARC) at Weeks 48 and 132Part A: Baseline (Day 1 of Part A) and Week 48; Part B: Baseline (Day 1 of Part B) and Week 132
Hematology assessments of ARC were made at the last measurement prior to the first dose of pegcetacoplan (baseline) and periodically throughout the different parts of the treatment period. Mean change from baseline in ARC results were summarized from Part A baseline for Part A reporting groups and from Part B baseline for Part B reporting groups.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) at Weeks 48 and 132Part A: Baseline (Day 1 of Part A) and Week 48; Part B: Baseline (Day 1 of Part B) and Week 132
Serum chemistry assessments of LDH were made at the last measurement prior to the first dose of pegcetacoplan (baseline) and periodically throughout the different parts of the treatment period. Mean change from baseline in LDH results were summarized from Part A baseline for Part A reporting groups and from Part B baseline for Part B reporting groups.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Haptoglobin at Weeks 48 and 132Part A: Baseline (Day 1 of Part A) and Week 48; Part B: Baseline (Day 1 of Part B) and Week 132
Serum chemistry assessments of haptoglobin were made at the last measurement prior to the first dose of pegcetacoplan (baseline) and periodically throughout the different parts of the treatment period. Mean change from baseline in haptoglobin results were summarized from Part A baseline for Part A reporting groups and from Part B baseline for Part B reporting groups.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Indirect Bilirubin at Weeks 48 and 132Part A: Baseline (Day 1 of Part A) and Week 48; Part B: Baseline (Day 1 of Part B) and Week 132
Serum chemistry assessments of indirect bilirubin were made at the last measurement prior to the first dose of pegcetacoplan (baseline) and periodically throughout the different parts of the treatment period. Mean change from baseline in indirect bilirubin results were summarized from Part A baseline for Part A reporting groups and from Part B baseline for Part B reporting groups.
SecondaryMaximum Observed Trough Serum Concentration (Ctrough,Max) of PegcetacoplanPre-dose and 4 hours postdose on Day 1; pre-dose on Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 36, 40, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120 and 132Blood samples were collected for the assessment of Ctrough,max of pegcetacoplan.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue Score at Weeks 48 and 132Part A: Baseline (Day 1 of Part A) and Week 48; Part B: Baseline (Day 1 of Part B) and Week 132
The FACIT-Fatigue Scale is a 13 item Likert scaled instrument where the subject was presented with 13 statements and asked to indicate their response as it applied to the past 7 days. The 5 possible responses were 'Not at all' (0), 'A little bit (1), 'Somewhat' (2), 'Quite a bit' (3) and 'Very much' (4). There are 13 statements with the total score ranging from 0 to 52 and higher scores indicating better quality of life. Mean change from baseline in FACIT-Fatigue score results were summarized from Part A baseline for Part A reporting groups and from Part B baseline for Part B reporting groups.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Linear Analog Scale Assessment (LASA) Score at Weeks 48 and 132Part A: Baseline (Day 1 of Part A) and Week 48; Part B: Baseline (Day 1 of Part B) and Week 132
The LASA consists of 5 single statements asking subjects to rate their perceived level of functioning. Specific domains include physical well-being (fatigue, activity level), emotional well-being (depression, anxiety, stress), spiritual well-being (sense of meaning), and intellectual well-being (ability to think clearly and concentrate). An item for overall quality of life is also included. Each domain scale range from 0 to 10. Where, 0 = as bad as it can be and 10 = as good as it can be. The total score ranging from 0 to 50 and higher scores indicating better quality of life. Mean change from baseline in LASA score results were summarized from Part A baseline for Part A reporting groups and from Part B baseline for Part B reporting groups.
