LNP023: Cohort 1-administered orally a dosing scheme of 200 mg twice-daily (two 100 mg capsules). Cohort 2- administered orally a dosing scheme based on weight at the Day 1, Week 12, 26 and 38.

Study summary

The purpose of this open-label, single arm, multicenter, phase 3 study is to assess the pharmacokinetics of iptacopan in pediatric patients and to assess whether iptacopan is safe and well tolerated when used for the treatment of pediatric paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) patients 2 to \< 18 years of age.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male and female participants 2 to \< 18 years of age with a diagnosis of PNH confirmed by high-sensitivity flow cytometry with red blood cells (RBCs) and with white blood cells granulocytes/monocytes clone size ≥ 10%. The minimum body weight for patients in Cohort 1 is 35 kg. * Patients being treated with anti-C5 therapy and who have been on a stable regimen (dose and interval) for at least 6 months prior to enrollment, may be screened and enrolled in the study and switched to iptacopan irrespective of their anemia and hemolysis status, at the discretion of the Principal Investigator. * Patients who are anti-C5 treatment naive: mean hemoglobin level \< 10 g/dL confirmed by central laboratory assessment during screening. * Patients who are anti-C5 treatment naive: lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) \> 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) documented by at least 2 laboratory measurements 2 to 6 weeks apart during the screening period, one of which is to be done by the central lab. * Vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae infection is required prior to the start of study treatment. If the participant has not been previously vaccinated, or if a booster is required, vaccine should be given according to local guidelines at least 2 weeks prior to first study drug administration. If study treatment has to start earlier than 2 weeks post-vaccination, prophylactic antibiotic treatment should be initiated. * Vaccination against Haemophilus influenzae is recommended, according to local guidelines, at least 2 weeks before iptacopan. Exclusion Criteria: * History of hypersensitivity to the study drug or its excipients or to drugs of similar chemical classes. * Known or suspected hereditary complement deficiency at screening. * History of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or scheduled for HSCT within 52 weeks from enrollment into the study (Day 1). * Patients with laboratory evidence of bone marrow failure (reticulocytes \< 100 x 10 to the ninth/L; platelets \< 30 × 10 to the ninth/L; neutrophils \< 0.5 × 10 to the ninth/L). * Active systemic bacterial, viral (including COVID-19), or fungal infection within 14 days prior to study drug administration. * Presence of fever ≥ 38 °C (100.4 °F) within 7 days prior to study drug administration. Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Incidence and severity of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) — 26 weeks
    Incidence and severity of AEs and SAEs by treatment group, including changes in vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs) and laboratory results qualifying and reported as AEs.
  • PK parameter (Cmax) — Week 2
    Cmax is defined as the maximum (peak) observed concentration following a dose.
  • PK parameter (AUClast) — Week 2
    AUClast is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the time of last quantifiable concentration (tlast).
  • PK parameter (AUCtau) — Week 2
    AUCtau describes the area under the curve limited to the end of a dosing interval.
  • PK parameter (Ctrough) — Weeks 2, 4, 12 and 26
    Ctrough is the observed plasma concentration that is just prior to the beginning of, or at the end of a dosing interval.
