C5i-experienced (eculizumab or ravulizumab) and complement inhibitor–naive patients can share common challenges of PNH

Patients currently on C5is

These patients may1-4:

  • Have below-normal Hb levels (<12 g/dL for women or <13 g/dL for men)*
  • Be looking for an option other than infusions
  • Require ≥1 RBC transfusion per year
  • Have elevated ARC
  • Experience fatigue

*Normal Hb levels vary but generally are 12-16 g/dL for women and 13-18 g/dL for men.1

Newly diagnosed patients or those not on a complement inhibitor

These patients may4-6:

  • Have an Hb level <10 g/dL
  • Require ≥1 RBC transfusion per year
  • Have elevated ARC and/or LDH levels
  • Experience fatigue
