Study design details

Study design

A multinational non-interventional descriptive single-arm cohort study based on secondary analysis of the data collected within the IPIG PNH Registry on iptacopan-treated patients.

Main study objective

The primary objective of the study is to describe the risk of infections caused by encapsulated bacteria in patients with PNH treated with iptacopan in routine clinical practice.

Comparators

None

Outcomes

⦁ Infections caused by encapsulated bacteria (Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae)
⦁ Serious infections caused by encapsulated bacteria
⦁ All serious infections
⦁ Proportion of patients with vaccinations against encapsulated bacteria at the start of iptacopan treatment and at each subsequent visit
⦁ Breakthrough hemolysis
⦁ Serious hemolysis following discontinuation of iptacopan (within 14 days from discontinuation)
⦁ Major adverse vascular events including thrombotic events
⦁ Malignancies
⦁ Hyperlipidemia
⦁ Thrombocytopenia
⦁ Serious adverse events
⦁ All-cause mortality
⦁ Pregnancy-related outcomes

Data analysis plan

The analysis in this study will be focused on the while-on-treatment and the hypothetical risk estimands. The treatment policy estimand strategy will not be implemented in this study because subjects discontinuing iptacopan are expected to start another PNH therapy.

Risk will be evaluated in terms of frequency (counts and percentages), cumulative incidence (event probability as a function of time), incidence rates (number of patients with events per 100 patient-years) and occurrence rates (number of episodes per 100 patient-years). Incidence and occurrence rates will be calculated by year of treatment and for the entire duration of the study.

Subgroup and sensitivity analyses will be performed as described in the study Statistical Analysis Plan.
