Late-Breaking Data Presented at EHA: All Patients with PNH Treated with Once-Monthly Dosing of ALXN1210 in Phase 1/2 Study Exhibit Rapid and Sustained Reductions in LDH
BusinessWire - Fri Jun 10, 1:30AM CDT
Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALXN) announced today that interim data were presented from a Phase 1/2 study of ALXN1210, an investigational, highly innovative longer-acting anti-C5 antibody, in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a debilitating, ultra-rare blood disorder characterized by complement-mediated hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells).(1) In this study, once-monthly dosing of ALXN1210 achieved rapid and sustained reductions in mean levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), a marker of hemolysis, in 100 percent of treated patients, which were observed through up to five once-monthly dosing intervals. Researchers also reported that, at this time, 80 percent of patients who required at least 1 blood transfusion in the 12 months prior to treatment with ALXN1210 did not require transfusions while on treatment.(2) These findings were presented in a late-breaking poster at the 21st Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA) in Copenhagen, Denmark.
