FABHALTA was studied in both C5i-experienced (eculizumab or ravulizumab) and complement inhibitor–naive adults with PNH
A head-to-head study of C5i-experienced (eculizumab or ravulizumab) adults with PNH1
The APPLY study was a head-to-head trial of FABHALTA vs C5is in C5i-experienced adults with PNH
Phase 3, open-label, active comparator–controlled study1-3

*Randomization was stratified based on prior C5i treatment and transfusion history within the last 6 months.1
PRIMARY END POINTS: RANDOMIZED TREATMENT PERIOD1
Proportion of patients achieving sustained Hb increase of ≥2 g/dL† from baseline without a need for RBC transfusions‡ after 24 weeks
Proportion of patients achieving sustained Hb level of ≥12 g/dL† without a need for RBC transfusions after 24 weeks‡
ADDITIONAL END POINTS: RANDOMIZED TREATMENT PERIOD1,2
RBC transfusion avoidance§
Change from baseline† in:
- Hb levels (g/dL)‖
- FACIT-Fatigue scores
- Absolute reticulocyte count (ARC) (109/L)
- Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levelOccurrence of major adverse vascular events (MAVEs)¶

Safety¶
In the APPLY study analysis:
All end points were based on central laboratory data3,4
95% CIs for end points in the randomized treatment period were based on the Sato variance estimator4
95% CIs in the extension period were based on the Clopper-Pearson method3
†Assessed between Days 126 and 168.1
‡Assessed between Days 14 and 168. Requiring RBCs refers to any patient receiving transfusions or meeting protocol-defined criteria.2,5
§Transfusion avoidance is defined as absence of administration of packed-RBC transfusions between Days 14 and 168.1,4
IIExcludes values within 30 days post-transfusion in the randomized period.1

**No multiple imputation framework used for the analyses.3
††Excluding values within 30 days of RBC transfusion.3
‡‡Transfusion avoidance defined as patients who did not receive any transfusions between Days 14 and 336. Analysis considered patients who received transfusion between Days 14 and 336 after the start of FABHALTA treatment and with missing Day 336 assessment as nonresponders.3
