Study design details

Study design

Data for this study will be collected as part of the Crovalimab Silo registry. This encompasses retrospective & prospective data (participants’ characteristics, clinical outcomes & crovalimab exposure) for all participants treated with crovalimab, including pregnant participants & their infants.

Main study objective

The aim of this study is to characterize the safety profile of crovalimab in participants with PNH, with a specific focus on adverse events of special interest (AESIs).
This study also aims to assess adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), pregnancy, and infant outcomes in female participants with PNH exposed to crovalimab during pregnancy and through breastfeeding.

Setting

Inclusion criteria:
Participants with PNH confirmed by flow cytometry.
Participants with PNH currently being treated with or who start crovalimab during the study period.

Exclusion criteria:
Participants with PNH participating in an interventional PNH clinical trial while receiving crovalimab (i.e., in combination with other therapy), with exception of participants with PNH participating in the extension period of COMMODORE/COMPOSER Roche studies and Post Trial Access Programs.

The exclusion criteria for all participants will also be applicable to assess crovalimab exposure during pregnancy, as well as pregnancy, infant, and breastfeeding outcomes.

Comparators

None

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes:
Presence, type, onset and resolution date and hospitalizations of serious infections
Presence, type, onset and resolution date and hospitalizations of Meningococcal and other infections with encapsulated bacteria
Development or Worsening of any Neurological Condition
Presence and type of malignancy, onset and resolution date
Serious hemolysis events, onset and resolution date
Number of transient immune complex reactions
Number of infusion and injection-related reactions
Pregnancy-related outcomes [Ectopic pregnancy, spontaneous abortion, pregnancy terminations, fetal death or stillbirth, live birth, preterm birth, preeclampsia, eclampsia, Preterm Prelabor Rupture of Membrane (PPROM)]
Infant-related outcomes [Size for gestational age, low birth weight, postnatal growth deficiency or failure to thrive (FTT), infant developmental deficiency, congenital malformations, serious and severe infections, and hospitalization of infants
Number of Neonatal deaths, perinatal deaths, infant deaths and maternal deaths
Any AEs during pregnancy
Any AEs for lactating females and infants through breastfeeding
Any AEs experienced by the infant at birth and up to through at least the first year of life

Secondary Outcomes:
AEs and SAEs (not included as AESIs)
Clinical outcome and laboratory test results related to PNH among participants who experienced an AESI
Fatigue assessment using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue questionnaire for participants who experienced an AESI

Data analysis plan

Descriptive statistics will be reported using summary tables and figures (where appropriate). Continuous variables will be summarized using mean, standard deviation, median, range (min-max) and interquartile range. Categorical variables will be summarized using counts and proportions (%).

Incidence and incidence rate (IRs; in person-years) and their 95% confidence interval (Cis) of AESIs, SAEs and AEs will be calculated. The exact 95% CIs will be computed using the Clopper-Pearson method.

Incidence proportions will be calculated as the proportion of participants afflicted with each of the AESIs, SAEs, and AEs up to the data extraction date.
