Danicopan as Add-on Therapy to a C5 Inhibitor in Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) Participants Who Have Clinically Evident Extravascular Hemolysis (EVH)(ALPHA)
About the study
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of danicopan as add-on therapy to a complement component 5 (C5) inhibitor (eculizumab or ravulizumab) in participants with PNH who have clinically evident EVH.
Who can take part
You may be eligible to participate in the study if you meet the following criteria:
