Real‐world evidence of pegcetacoplan in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria: A nationwide Italian study

In this study, we collected real-world evidence on the use of pegcetacoplan among 22 Italian patients with paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria showing suboptimal response to anti-C5 treatments eculizumab and ravulizumab. Most patients exhibited a complete or good response as per the criteria of the European Bone Marrow Transplant group (Risitano et al. Front Immunol 2019) and median haemoglobin improvement from baseline was +3.6 g/dL. During the 6-month follow-up, 27% of patients displayed a breakthrough haemolytic event mainly managed with supportive treatment. No thromboses occurred.
