A Phase I Study to Assess the Safety of Pegcetacoplan (APL-2) as an Add-On to Standard of Care in Subjects With PNH
United States9 participantsStarted 2015-02-23
Plain-language summary
This study will be the initial exploration of pegcetacoplan in patients with PNH. The assessments of the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD following administration of single and multiples doses of pegcetacoplan will guide decisions to further develop the drug.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Number of Subjects With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Including by Severity, During Single-dose Phase
Timeframe: From single dose of study drug (Day 1) up to 30 days
2
Number of Subjects With TEAEs, Including by Severity, During Multiple-dose Phase
Timeframe: From first dose of study drug up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (Cohorts 1-3: up to 58 days; Cohort 4: up to 759 days).
3
Area Under the Curve (AUC) From Time 0 to the Last Measurable Concentration (AUC0-t) Over the Multiple Dosing Phase for Cohort 4
Timeframe: Blood samples for PK assessment were collected pre-dose and 4 hours post dose on Day 1 and pre-dose (trough) on Day 2 and up to Day 785.
4
Maximum Pre-dose Serum Concentration (Ctrough,Max) Over the Multiple Dosing Phase for Cohort 4
Timeframe: Blood samples for PK assessment were collected pre-dose and 4 hours post dose on Day 1 and pre-dose (trough) on Day 2 and up to Day 785.
