Study summary

This study was designed to evaluate the long-term safety of daily oral treatment with BCX9930 in participants who had participated in a previous BCX9930 trial for PNH and showed a benefit of treatment as determined by the Investigator. The study allowed continued access to BCX9930 for enrolled participants. The study also evaluated the long-term effectiveness and impact on quality of life and general well-being of BCX9930 treatment, and the participant's satisfaction with the medication.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male or non-pregnant, non-lactating female participants
  • Successfully participated in a previous BCX9930 study of PNH and experienced improvement in their PNH

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Apart from a diagnosis of PNH, any medical or psychiatric condition or medical history, other than those associated with PNH disease, that, in the opinion of the Investigator or Sponsor, would interfere with the participant's ability to participate in the study or participation would increase the risk for that participant
  • Pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or having been pregnant within 90 days of Day 1, or lactating

Note: Other protocol-defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Complement Component 5 (C5) Inhibitor (C5-INH) Naïve Group

    This group included participants who, prior to enrolling in their previous BCX9930 study, were either naïve to eculizumab or ravulizumab treatment, or naive to treatment with any complement inhibitor therapy (or had received no treatment in the prior 12 months), and with anemia due to ongoing intravascular hemolysis.

    Drug: BCX9930

  • Experimental
    C5 INH Inadequate Response Group

    This group included participants who, prior to enrolling in their previous BCX9930 study, were receiving stable treatment with eculizumab or ravulizumab and had an inadequate response to that therapy (ie, residual anemia and/or ongoing need for transfusion). Depending on the prior study, participants may have continued the C5 inhibitor, with BCX9930 provided as an add-on therapy.

    Drug: BCX9930 · Drug: Eculizumab · Drug: Ravulizumab

Interventions

  • BCX9930 for oral administration

  • Administered at stable dose at the time of study entry

Results

Posted Dec 13, 2024
Limitations and caveats
The sponsor decided to prematurely terminate the study due to business reasons. Per change in planned analysis, data were analyzed and reported for safety and selected efficacy parameters (assessment of various clinical PNH symptoms severity, incidence of thromboembolic events, change from baseline in clinical measurements of PNH \[LDH, hemoglobin, haptoglobin, reticulocytes, transfusion requirements\], and change from baseline in FACIT\]).

Participant flow

Participants who had participated in previous BCX9930 trials (BCX9930-101 \[NCT04330534\], BCX9930-202 \[NCT05116774\], or BCX9930-203 \[NCT05116787\]) for Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) and showed a benefit of treatment as determined by the investigator were enrolled in this long-term safety trial.

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) - Fatigue Scale Total Score

The FACIT-Fatigue scale questionnaire was used to determine the level of fatigue experienced by participants. This questionnaire was a 13-item measure that assessed self-reported fatigue and its impact upon daily activities and function. Item scores ranged from 0 ("not at all") to 4 ("very much"), and the total score ranged from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating greater quality of life.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 13, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
