Summary

This study tested eculizumab in 25 adults with PNH in China who had not previously taken complement inhibitors. Participants received infusions over 62 weeks. The main goal was to see if the drug reduced LDH levels, a marker of disease activity. Results showed a decrease in LDH, suggesting the drug helped control the disease. Safety was also monitored, with no new concerns beyond known risks.
