Plain-language summary
This was a randomized, SoC-controlled, open-label, multi-center study in patients with TAM after hematopoietic precursor cell transplantation (HPCT) .
Study consisted of up to 28 days of screening period, 16 weeks treatment period that can be extended to 45 weeks.Approximately 40 patients was to be randomized to receive SoC or LFG316 plus SoC. Patients was included in the study if they have diagnosis of TAM and poor prognostic markers. This trial was terminated: LFG316, a monoclonal antibody inhibitor of complement factor 5 (C5), had been studied in seven patients with transplantation-associated microangiopathy (TAM). Due to low confidence of clinical benefit, this study was closed

Inclusion criteria
. Written informed consent/assent before any study-specific screening procedures. For pediatric patients, consent will be obtained from parent(s) or legal guardian(s) and the signature of at least 1 parent or guardian will be required. Investigators will also obtain assent of patients according to local, regional or national guidelines.
. Patients after allogeneic stem cell transplantation from a related or unrelated, HLA-matched or mismatched donor with the diagnosis of transplant related microangiopathy. Patients having received any of the following stem cell sources are eligible: G-CSF mobilized peripheral blood stem cells, bone marrow, umbilical cord blood.
. Male and female TAM patients ≥ 2 years old at the time of first dose administration. Patients \< 12 years old can only be included in the study after first IA has shown that it is safe and well tolerated in patients ≥ 12 years old (Section 3.5).
. The presence of TAM as per below diagnostic criteria at baseline (or screening if baseline visit is skipped). All the criteria have to be met for the patients included in the study:
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 Schistocytes Per 1,000 Red Blood Cells (RBCs) for Hematological Responder Rate at 17 Weeks
. The presence of TAM high risk features at baseline (or screening if baseline visit is skipped): Patients ≤ 16 years must have a Lansky score of ≤ 70 and patients \> 16 must have Karnofsky score ≤ 70% and/or proteinuria (\> 30 mg/dL) measured in two urine spot analyses.
. Hypertension, defined for adults by SBP ≥ 160 mmHg and/or DBP ≥ 100 mmHg at baseline (or screening if baseline visit is skipped), and for pediatric patients by blood pressure greater than the 95th percentile for age, sex, and height (see Table 16-1). Additionally, patients who were started on antihypertensive medication after HSCT or who have received additional antihypertensive medication after HSCT will be eligible, even if they don't have elevated blood pressure.
. Able to receive antibiotic prophylaxis against N. meningitides for the duration of the study.
. Meningococcal vaccine(s) prior to LFG316 treatment if prior vaccination cannot be confirmed. The choice of vaccine(s) should take into account the serotypes prevalent in the geographic areas in which study patients will be enrolled. In case vaccination is not possible or will result in an unfavorable risk benefit ratio as judged by the investigator, vaccination can be postponed until deemed likely to be effective.
Exclusion criteria
. Use of other investigational drugs at the time of enrollment, or within 5 half-lives of enrollment, or until the expected PD effect has returned to baseline, whichever is longer; or even longer if required by local regulations. Concomitant investigational treatment, including treatment in the context of a clinical trial with marketed drugs (off-label) may be acceptable but requires approval by the sponsor on the case by case basis.
. Known hypersensitivity to any constituent of the study medication.
. Patients with steroid refractory graft versus host disease (SRGvHD). SRGvHD is defined as progression (=increase in overall grade) after 5 days on ≥2mg/kg methylprednisolone or equivalent OR no improvement (no decrease in overall grade) after 10 days on ≥ 2mg/kg methylprednisolone or equivalent. If patients are receiving steroids for GvHD prophylaxis as per center standard, progression after 5 days and no response after 10 days after doubling the steroid dose will be regarded as steroid refractory.
. Patients with ALT \> 10x ULN at screening.
. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive hCG laboratory test (at screening or baseline).
. Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception during dosing and for 45 days after stopping study medication. Highly effective contraception methods include:
. Sexually active males unwilling to use a condom during intercourse while taking drug and for 45 days after stopping investigational medication. A condom is required to be used also by vasectomized men in order to prevent delivery of the drug via seminal fluid. Male patients should not father a child in this period.
. Positive HIV (ELISA and Western blot) test result (checked at screening). Historical local data will be acceptable if it the test was done within one month before start of HSCT conditioning and not more than 3 months before study visit 3.
